Mmm.

When you first arrived on this planet, you were cute, sweet and tiny. You had no opinions about what you were supposed to be doing - and nobody had any great expectations of you. They didn't mind how you spent your day, as long as you ate, slept and didn't cry too much. And you were happy just to live in a spirit of relaxed, open mindedness. That was then. This is now. Now, you've got a list, as long as your arm, of things you like and things you don't. Endless reasons why you can't just relax. A reputation to live up to. Responsibilities to honour. Some of it, you can't escape. But there is quite a bit you can get out of this week!
When you have finished this, you can start that. As soon as problem A has been settled, you had better attend to difficulty B. There is no time for a sandwich or a cup of tea. You've got to crack on. And on. It is partly because of your astrological outlook that you now feel so exhausted and overwhelmed. It is partly, too, because life has a tendency to send us all round on an endless treadmill. But at least your current source of stress IS helping to make a real difference to your future. Trust that you're not wasting your time. Believe too, in your entitlement to an easier life. Worry less and relax more this week.

After yesterday I have to take some comfort from the final sentences.
