“We must adjust to changing times and still hold to unchanging principles.”

Jimmy Carter

Underlying Theme for All the Signs: Important developments and a change of fortune signals that karma is in motion, but whatever doesn’t pan out as hoped might prove to be a blessing in disguise. It may play out in the mundane through concerns related to transportation, money, speculation or taking a gamble but it also ties to your outlook and the ability to remain objective. To re-evaluate the goals for the future requires that you examine the past. In fact, your past lives and the culmination of those experiences are currently shaping your present situation, testing your confidence and forcing you to acknowledge that you’re not a victim. How you roll with the wheel of fortune is dependent on using a fresh perspective that moves you away from the danger of expecting too much or too little from life and from yourself. This week, situations provide challenging role play, especially with family, for teaching lessons, offering healing and brutal self-honesty about your actions and if the real motivation is the goal of giving or gaining. You’re encouraged to go the extra mile for others without complaint for no other reason except that you’ve “earned” the chance to compensate for your own earlier deeds.
