Your passion for your path can cause you to react forcefully today when others stand in the way of your purpose. However, while you may feel that those in a position to fulfill your needs are actively resisting you, it may simply be the case that they do not understand the importance of what you aim to accomplish. While coming on strong will likely get you nowhere, you may be surprised to realize that others are quick to grant your requests when they are cognizant of your reasons for approaching them. Should you find yourself facing opposition today, try dialing back your intensity and posing your demands in a respectful manner.

It is possible to be firm without resorting to forcefulness in situations where we are endeavoring to see that our needs are met against the wishes of those who do not immediately perceive the importance of our requests to our continuing well-being. Conveying the vital nature of our requests is not a matter of asserting ourselves through tone of voice or body language but one of thoughtfully articulating the nature of our need, conversationally and respectfully. Others will generally be more willing to do what we ask of them when they understand why we are making requests of them. Our openness and sincerity become significant elements of our quest to attain what we want through peaceful and considerate means. Your assertiveness will come through in your determinedness today when you are fluent in your explanation of your individual needs.
