This week, ask yourself what needs to be changed

 

There’s a simple rule in life. If you don’t make the requisite changes to get that balance, life will force the change into your life. 

Being in balance tells us about the importance of moderation. 

Transitions and turning points come into our lives to guide us through the process and give us choices that we can make and mould ourselves on this journey.

This week (October 21-October 27), there’s a greater stress on our domains, i.e. our areas of focus. Whatever you consider as your key area of interest will come into the spotlight. Matters could come to an advanced stage of development. A balance of our emotions and our intellect will become even more important as we accept the results and analyse what needs to be done next.

Life is in seeding as well as fruition mode this week. Multitask with conceptualising new beginnings as well as reaping the blessings of past actions. Your mind will be occupied with new ideas even as your eyes revel in the beauty of what you just created.

[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.

Here we go…

 

Aries:

 

First decan (March 21-March 30)

 

Ace of Swords 

 

Key events in your life are currently in a conceptualisation stage. You have time to shape these based on what you believe would be good for you going forward. Now is the time to act in an intellectually inspiring way.

 

Second decan (March 31-April 9)

 

Death

 

A significant change is coming into your awareness. It’s a necessity although it may appear intrusive. Even as the picture unfolds, do not fight it. It’s inevitable and important for a refresh.

No matter what the issue that concerns you this week, it’s important to maintain moderation. Do not go overboard. For those who may come under the weather, healing energies surround you this week.

 

Taurus

 

First decan (April 20-April 29)

Third decan (September 12-September 22)

Third decan (November 12-November 21)

 

VII of Swords 

 

Life is not perfect. There are days when you may not be satisfied with all the efforts made. There’s no point in trying to run away or overanalyse some thoughts that are nudging you. Let this emotion pass and allow matters to turn around organically.

 

Sagittarius
