Your powers of persuasion may be at their peak today, and you may regard this as an opportunity to guide others toward a greater degree of fulfillment. Your plans may go awry, however, when those you had hoped to influence choose to follow a different path. This can be a good time to reflect upon the uniqueness of the destinies of each and every human being on the planet. What proved right for you may not be what is best for those who solicit your advice today, and you should not regard their choices as a personal affront. If you allow others to make their own mistakes without interfering in their lives, they will no doubt find satisfaction in their own way, in their own time.

Our guidance can do the most good in the lives of others when we give it freely, without holding on to the expectation that the recipients of our counsel will incorporate every element of our advice into their lives. When we find ourselves in a position to share the gift of our wisdom with those looking to achieve success or enlightenment, we may be tempted to persuade these individuals to adopt our point of view because we can. However , the gift of guidance should be given in the spirit of generosity and without thoughts of recompense. Others will inevitably take from our advice what they will and apply it to their circumstances distinctively. While you may feel compelled to convince others of certain truths today, your respect for their autonomy will do them a great deal more good.
