'Discover your Inner Child.' That�s what all the self improvement gurus urge us to do in their text books full of profound psychological insight. 'Heal yourself' they instruct us 'By getting in touch with the part of yourself that is still just a small kid, feeling upset because of some sharp encounter with an insensitive adult - or some difficult development that never since got properly sorted out.'
It�s strange how often, in our struggle to do the right thing, we end up doing the wrong thing. We wrestle with moral dilemmas till we feel sure we have considered issues from all angles. Then, after time has passed, we see it all from one more crucial perspective and feel slightly foolish. Even the powerful Transit of Venus hasn�t been miraculous enough to ensure that you never go through that again. It will though, eventually allow you to put the other side of that coin to tremendously valuable use. Every so often in life, due to various pressures or apparent problems, we do what we think is the wrong thing, only to discover that it has turned out to be absolutely right in more ways than we could have ever dreamed. A recent apparent 'mistake' has effectively been an action of sheer genius. When you realise this, don�t just count yourself lucky. Count yourself entitled to relax.
Their advice, of course, is good. Excellent indeed. But er.. it begs a bit of a question really. Are we, as adults, really so far out of touch with our �inner child�. Or are we actually all just big kids at heart - playing at the game of acting grown up? There�s a sense in which even the most mature and responsible amongst us are secretly still half in the playground. For all that this world is a very serious place, where some things have to be done very precisely and properly, it�s also still very much a world full of immature, irresponsible, tiny minded, emotionally underdeveloped, needy, anxious, over tired and under experienced individuals, all desperately striving and pretending to be �in control�.
No wonder our relationships are not always all that we might wish them to be. The Transit of Venus heralds and amazing change you are about to undergo in your life. You are about to discover that your inner child is thoroughly bored of trying so hard to be �responsible� and �sensible�. You are also about to discover that you can get clean way with becoming a lot lighter and looser. Not only is this due to benefit your heart and mind, it�s going to win you friends, make you more influential and oddly enough, it�s going to help increase your stature in society too! Between now and the next Transit of Venus in 2012, life is going to bring you a whole lot more fun and fulfillment. Next, I�ll explain more about your imminent big adventure.
Then start taking life a little easier and a little less seriously. For there�s a lot of love, a lot of reassurance, a lot of support and a lot of prosperity on its way to you now. And to help it all make its way into your world, all you have to do is be a lot less rigid, responsible and 'grown up' and a lot more mischievous, impulsive and childlike!
