Secure what you start for better results
Endings lead to new beginnings and the flow of life never stops.
Starting points — be it at the most basic level of a thought occurring to you to a big leap like starting a new career or family — usher in great energies into one’s life.
The Week Ahead (December 23-December 29) is heavily tilted towards new beginnings with numerical ‘1’ (figures that add up to 1) appearing ten times.
The initial growth period also appears to be good. But the 4s are missing which means that stability could be a bit shaky.
One is advised to build on securing what they have started to ensure better outcomes.
Planets Sun, Jupiter and Mercury present in large numbers indicate that success would follow a focus centred around wisdom and righteousness.
The elemental balance is tilted towards fire and earth. A passion bereft of emotional involvement could take flexibility out of the new ‘sprouts’. While stability and an outcome-based approach are important, what’s equally important is an actual process that leads to the desired results.
Things don’t materialise out of thin air. Bring a balance in life to ensure life moves smoothly.

[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.
