Refuel your energy tank, go for the goal
This Week Ahead (August 26-September 1) there’s a huge thrust on nurturing and developing what we are creating and seeing it materialise.
The presence of restrictive energies could, however, prolong or delay the results. It could be especially trying for those lugging a larger burden. Imagine that the drive is smooth and suddenly you come across a stumbling block. If you are halfway into a project, you can’t stop now. Be resolute in seeing it through. The Chariot which has appeared thrice during the reading tells us to remain persistent in our efforts. If you want to achieve what you’ve set out to and have the determination to do so, there’s no stopping.
Restrictive energies are meant to make us strong and give shape to our dreams. Use them to your advantage!
One can also get inspiration from Mars — which has shown up several times during the reading — to forge ahead. Avoid getting caught in Mars’ warrior energy facet. Don’t get into unnecessary arguments or show of strength. Instead, focus on the goal.
Strong earth energies like The Empress, The World and The Hierophant ensure we deliver the results, while positive energies like The Sun and The Magician would help us get it done quickly.

[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.
