Be persistent and brace for a smooth finish 

 

As we enter December, our pace can likely quicken to make rapid strides to accomplish tasks and reach the goals we set for ourselves at the start of the year. 

Covering the last mile, overcoming challenges through concerted efforts and being discerning in our journey are being spotlighted for this Week Ahead (December 2-December 8). Your abilities to think on your feet, ideate, communicate and galvanise action on the ground would come in handy this week as life calls out to you to pull out all stops and press the accelerator.

In a fast-paced environment, it’s important to make the right choices. So choose momentum over inaction and motivation over complacency. The resultant agility is what’s desired ultimately, reveal the cards.

[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.
