rob’s advice: libra as aries

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Maybe someday you will allow yourself to act more like an Aries. You know, you’ll barge ahead along a path of your own making. You’ll follow the siren call of your good instincts instead of the waffling questions of your fine mind. You’ll relish the scary sounds from up ahead as potential opportunities to triumph over your fear and hone your willpower. Don’t do any of that stuff yet, though. You’re not ready for the challenge. Maybe in a few years. APRIL FOOL! Here’s the truth, Libra: Now is an excellent time to act more like an Aries.
i admit i have no idea how an aries is supposed to act, but from context i think it means i’m supposed to take the scary chances. i wish there were some way to find out exactly *which* scary chances i was supposed to be taking. ie, should i stay or should i go — and then know which situation precicely that was refering to. cause staying is scary and going is scary, but both for different reasons. or not. i mean, the scary thing isn’t *change* per se, right? it’s change not going the way we want — it’s the unknown quantity after the change. so that not changing can be scary in it’s own way, too.
what if i keep doing XYZ and it never works out? what if i keep paying my mortgage and my house keeps losing value? what if i keep enabling my hyper-nervous friend and she gets more and more dependent on me? what if i keep taking this pottery class and all my pottery is ugly? (yes, i did drop out of pottery class because of stress.)
so, uh, i’m not sure where that leaves me. except that even before rob said anything i knew it was time to take some chances. i’m just not 100% decided what those chances should be yet. or maybe i do know, but i’m not going to take the chance of telling.
