This week the rubber meets the road with a focus on taking care of business as it relates to work, your social status and public reputation against the juxtaposition of interest in recreational activities, romance, personal pursuits and concerns involving children. With a strong desire to receive appreciation, to love, or be loved tied to issues of security, certain matters may take a back seat to or revolve around a central figure that is becoming increasingly significant to your life. Alternatively, it may be you who is at the center of attention and at the helm of command in a leadership position or provider role.
As a result, events unfold through your connections that could indicate important shifts in social standing—marriage, divorce, the parental relationship, a court case, or activity connected to setting up a business partnership. These conditions can provoke a dramatic change in lifestyle through the start of a new relationship or it may trigger the breakup of an alliance because of ongoing circumstances. The challenge becomes not allowing the need for independence and freedom to be subjugated for security urges. Paradoxically, the fear of dependency and helplessness or the experience of loss can push worry to the point of self-fulfilling prophecy in a dependency situation that takes the form of a job, a relationship or financial matters.
The goal to merge, collaborate or separate is fired by emotional tension caused by delays or blockages and is likely to manifest in matters that require extreme application of effort or self control. Perhaps there’s been difficulty in getting attention, recognition or applause for your role as spokesperson for a group or your specialized knowledge. If so, expansion and expression are requiring more time and patience than expected. Even so, you can be tremendously resourceful and relentless in achieving your goals demonstrating a remarkable ability to improve existing conditions. Rewards can come from unexpected sources with opportunities from directions you didn’t anticipate, although efforts will be required to gain the optimum benefits.
Currently, the moon’s energy lends a feeling of being trapped because of home and family conditions that generate a fated quality. Emotional freedom of expression may be blocked because of holding on to troubling memories. Perhaps early conditioning reinforced the idea that exploring or being different is socially unacceptable, and this is actually at the root of reservation, inhibition and self-repression. If the pressure of self-restraint builds to breaking point, a violent outburst or rebellion to restriction could be extreme and inappropriate.
The severe judgment of both self and others might incite arguments, demonstrations of intolerance, or stir marital difference. You may need to learn to direct anger and effort at the appropriate target or goal rather than resort to unusual tactics for self defense or revenge. Energy tends to be internalized and demands on endurance may link to study, travel, or dealing with people who are foreign in some way that underscores cultural difference, political ideology, or belief systems. A change that alters your plans or review in thinking might prompt a drastic shift in philosophy that takes others by surprise. What occurs could force a total reappraisal of your approach to life or how to overcome a seemingly unsolvable situation.
Ultimately, you understand that clear, focused action produces the best results and you gain success by being decisive. This might compel you to lay your cards on the table with greater honesty, and consequently, create the circumstances that allow you to be more creative or more involved with children or a love partner. In the broader world, this might signal the drafting of new laws for the safety of the people or commerce. In either case, the outcome will yield positive results while also provoking an ending, completion or transformation that makes it all but impossible to return to an old system.
