Dissatisfaction with certain
aspects of your job might come to head today. This contemporary demand to stay
alive just won’t leave you alone. It’s good to dig deeper if that’s what you
need, just make sure you're not doing that thing where you abuse violent
tendencies as an excuse to stop your looping thoughts.
Your desire to succeed this month
is linked with your ability to align subjective feelings with objective forms.
Replacing an organ with a manufactured tool might come in handy as you try to
address the problem of modernity by physically splitting the self in two.
One always quarrels with what one
is. Your main challenge right now is to release and accept the mystery of the
process. You already know that pictures paint themselves. As fear of death
arises, make sure to notice continuity is still at work.
