Strive to stabilise, as fresh energies set new growth directions
Several indicators point towards unleashing new beginnings this Week Ahead (August 12-August 18), with fresh energies surrounding our collective awareness. The direction of growth is clearly towards achieving stability, building our honour, and stoking our collective wisdom.
The trend could play out in multiple ways.
If you’ve reached the end of a cycle, expect new turning points.
If you are looking at a new growth plan, this week could provide some food for thought.
If it's a lesson you have learnt from an old pattern, expect the rewards this week.
A lot of networking is expected this week and this could also define outcomes. There is stress on maintaining a balance, with the energies giving a more harmonious touch to the week ahead. This comes as a much-needed relief for some, given that last week saw many twists and sudden changes that took one off guard.

[Unlike other columns on zodiac signs, I make efforts every week to bring out decan-specific readings for the twelve Sun signs. Each zodiac sign (30 degrees) is divided into three decans (10 degrees). This makes the reading more focused and accurate. It also provides better cues for the collective whole. Which decan of the zodiac does your birthday fall in? Given below are the decan-specific tarot card readings for the respective Sun signs.]
