Challenges bring balance to life; accept with courage
When you face any kind of challenge in life, question what this challenge is trying to tell you at this point in your life’s journey. There could be a change that may be required to bring a balance and all that this challenge could be trying to do is bring it to your attention.
This Week Ahead (October 28-November 3), face the challenge with courage. Overcoming the challenge will bring great clarity, beauty and wisdom to you to forge ahead.
Whenever there are any imbalances in life — which can bring about some friction — life will prompt you to make certain adjustments. The process may require some moderation in life. You may also be confronted with tough choices. At such times, it’s always wise to stick to the norms and wait for the cycle to change. When it does change, you will emerge stronger, wiser and healthier.

[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.]
