Firing on all cylinders, build resilience to see good results this week
Our creativity, inspiration and impulsiveness will be high this week (November 11-November 17), as the fire energy gets a good push by planet Mars. However, the fire that fuels our creativity can sometimes cause disruptions and brashness and that is one thing we need to watch out for. The warrior planet’s sway is not surprising given that the Sun is currently in Scorpio which is ruled by Mars. Noticeably, the air element is missing in our day-to-day affairs. This could make us impulsive and one needs to be cautious about mindless behaviour. This could throw up its own set of challenges at a collective level. While the cards indicate starting points, what is also visible are stumbling blocks and challenges. The same fire energy that is present in plenty in this week's readings could come in handy to overcome these challenges. Use these energies for motivation, inspiration and action. For those who can withstand the challenges with resilience, turning points would bring great results. Specifically, the card X of Cups, which stands for great emotional satisfaction and bliss, has appeared four times during the readings for the Week Ahead. The card acts as the goalpost for the collective to strive towards. X of Cups also represents the end of a cycle and its Mars force pushes us into a new growth phase, with great hopes and grandeur.
The one who is resilient, adaptable and focused will get the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow! Will that be you?

[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.
