“ Take the first step in faith. You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.”

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Underlying Theme for All the Signs: Be prepared for new experiences by taking a risk and a leap of faith. If you take steps this week, you can create powerful momentum. It’s the right time to introduce yourself and your services for cautious expansion into uncharted waters. Perhaps it’s a greater self-confidence and sense of personal responsibility that propels you to take control of your own destiny through actions that lead to greater success and happiness. As you enter a fresh chapter in the storyline, you’ll reconnect with someone from the past and/or encounter new people who could have great significance on your future.

However, if you’re fearful of change, old self-sabotaging and costly habits and patterns of thinking will cause you to doubt your direction. Certain areas that you’ve avoided may need your attention—emotional, mental, or physical health. To clear the way for a new path, address the unfinished business of what you’ve been forever postponing—paperwork, taking responsibility for your finances, making important changes in your business, studies, projects, and matters in need of closure. The focus needn’t just be on self; timing could be critical for positive action to help those who are in need, unwell, or lonely.
