You are allowed to have changed
Somewhere in the past year you quietly stopped believing something you used to argue about at length, and you have told nobody, because you are the one who holds positions. Positions are meant to move. That is what distinguishes them from furniture.
Love
An opinion you dropped about two years ago still gets quoted back at you by somebody close, who has no way of knowing, and you let it stand each time because correcting it feels like a scene. Say the newer version once, lightly, over something ordinary. It is a far smaller correction than it feels beforehand.
Work and money
A group you belong to runs on an arrangement nobody has revisited since it was invented, probably by you. Propose the new version in writing, with the reason for the change and no criticism of the old one. People agree to improvements far more readily when nothing has to be admitted first.
Body and mind
Your head keeps its own hours and the rest of you has given up arguing. One thing today with no purpose attached: a detour on the way home, a record played all the way through, a conversation about nothing with somebody you like. Not productive. Not a system. A gap.
If you read nothing else
Say plainly that you have changed your mind about it
The sky Moon in Virgo all day · new moon at 4.27am · Saturn retrograde. First quarter on Friday at 9.44pm, seven days away.
One hour and then home
An hour is enough. There is something this weekend, a birthday or a leaving do or somebody’s show in a room above a pub, that you have half agreed to and are already designing an exit from. Go. Stay an hour. Leave without a speech.
Love
Your friends are not asking for enthusiasm. They are asking for attendance, which is a considerably lower bar. Turning up is the entire currency of these things. The people who notice your absence are exactly the ones too proud to mention it, so you never hear that it mattered, and it did.
Work and money
You said in the summer that this would happen, it is now happening, and the urge to point that out will be strong by about eleven. Skip it. Say what should be done next instead. Being the person with the plan outlasts being the person who was right, by a distance.
Body and mind
You do your best thinking at midnight and your living at eleven in the morning, and the two rarely overlap. Nothing needs reforming this weekend, but one meal with other people in it, at an ordinary hour, will do more than another night of excellent ideas alone.
