Shed old patterns, ring in the new
If I have to describe the collective energies of the Week Ahead (January 6-January 12) in one word, it would be ‘transformative’.
The card that indicates transitions and transformations is the ‘Death’ card which got pulled thrice during the readings for the Week Ahead. Given the weak boundaries to preserve the present, change is imminent and is expected to set in at a collective level.
A lone Tower card that got pulled could potentially fuel unexpected events. What backs the Tower is the unprecedented number of fire element cards that came up.
One could witness significant shifts at a collective level. At an individual level this could include a change of heart, a new thinking, inculcating new habits, a transformation at a deeper level of the psyche and the process of ageing.
For an organisation, the process of culture change, new regulations or a new management could fall into this ambit.
For businesses, this could mean a disruption of old paradigms ushering in new ways of operating.
Transformation results in newness albeit not all at once. One may have to first go through the challenges that come with any kind of change.
Transformations are necessary for change without which new buds wouldn’t flower and the seasons wouldn’t change.
If the change doesn’t show up this week, the patterns that lead to the change will certainly be visible. The shift may not necessarily be visible in the physical sense and could be a change in collective thinking.
This appears to be a very fiery week where actions rule without giving due consideration to emotions or karmic retributions.
Delusional energies also prevail. Facts could be clouded leading to the possibility of misunderstandings. Getting clarity before any action will thus be important.
Collectively, one is called to maintain moderation and build courage this week.

[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)
The High Priestess
Many of you may be governed by your moods this week. You’ll be at your intuitive best, relying more on your gut feeling. If there’s something on your mind, decipher the consequences before revealing it.
Second decan (March 31-April 9)
Page of Cups
You’ll feel the raw energies of love which sets the mood for the week ahead for some of you. If you are a parent or a leader, deal with your children/team members with empathy.
Third decan (April 10-April 19)
VIII of Swords
You need to sort out your mind before making any decision. It’s not as hard as you make it out to be. Drop the pretence and accept what’s coming your way.
Taurus
First decan (April 20-April 29)
IV of Swords
This is not the time for action. Take a mental break. This will help you rejuvenate and make better calls. If it’s anything to do with overthinking or communicating, make this week a quiet time just for yourself.
Second decan (April 30-May 9)
Queen of Wands
You’ll have to deal with a matter with a strong will while retaining the empathy quotient. Some of you who have been promoted and occupy top positions would pursue your tasks with passion.
Third decan (May 10-May 20)

You know you have worked hard to earn the recognition. Even as accolades come your way, retain a little humility to set an example of balanced leadership.
Gemini
First decan (May 21-May 30)
V of Swords
Feelings of being betrayed could occupy your mind. This week, try to keep a hold on how you communicate with others. A stray remark could become the centre of a bigger issue. It’s better to maintain good relationships than to allow them to become bitter.
Second decan (May 31-June 9)
Ace of Wands
There’s great potential in the projects, jobs or relationships you start this week. Nurture to grow them into something meaningful. For many of you, this could be the beginning of a fruitful period.

It must be painful but you must remember that it’s the end of a cycle and a new one will begin soon. Try to keep yourself motivated and reconnect with friends and family who’ll understand your situation.
Cancer
First decan (June 21-July 1)
Page of Wands
Work-related information could excite you this week. Those starting out on a new regime or task would be energised to take it forward and accomplish it.
Second decan (July 2-July 11)

You may have more desires flooding your mind even as you are asked by the universe to stay focused and not stray from the spiritual path. There’s already enough and more than you can ask for.

This week will be about healing yourself to bring a balance to your body, mind and spirit. Some of you may take to spiritual sojourns or acquire knowledge to feed your hungry soul.
Leo

III of Wands
As you look to expand your horizons, keep a firm grip on analysing your plans. Many of you are keen on taking the plan forward. You also have a good backing.
Second decan (August 3-August 12)
Hierophant
You may be a bit stubborn with the nitty gritty while dealing with matters this week. It can’t always be ‘my way or the highway’ but there could be merit in being a stickler for rules. Try to reason with the knowledge you possess.
Third decan (August 13-August 22)
II of Wands
It’s a new beginning and these are early days for your new venture. Be creative and attend to it with great passion. The world is your oyster. Don’t rush in with all your plans just yet. Be methodical.
Virgo
First decan (August 23-September 1)

Deal with matters using your soft powers as being forceful may not help. Have the courage to accept the challenges and you know you possess that innate strength to overcome it.
Second decan (September 2-September 11)
Death
A phase of transition kicks in for you this week. Be prepared for a transformation in any sphere of life and accept it humbly. The change is only for the better.
Third decan (September 12-September 22)
II of Wands
Get a balance as you are about to step into a growth phase. Using your creativity, you must ensure you are aligned with the mission. Be receptive but act in accordance with your will.
Libra
First decan (September 23-October 2)

Second decan (October 3-October 12)
V of Pentacles
This may be a phase of insecurity and instability but there’s no reason to allow yourself to get pulled down by low energies like fear. Stay connected with friends/family. Keep the faith and keep going. This too shall pass!
Third decan (October 13-October 22)
VIII of Cups
This could be a week for deep introspection as you try to find meaning in all that you’ve accomplished. This could mark a necessary pause in your journey.
Scorpio
First decan (October 23-November 1)
VII of Pentacles
If you’ve been anticipating plucking the fruits of your labour, the wait could get longer. There are certain limitations that are preventing you from enjoying them just yet. Have patience and disengage yourself from such expectations for now.
Second decan (November 2-November 11)
The Tower
A sudden event could change the flow of the week ahead. You may need to lie low and let it pass. If you are surrounded by people with anger issues, maintain a distance. This too shall pass.
Third decan (November 12-November 21)
King of Wands

Third decan (January 11-January 19)
VI of Wands
Some of you may get promoted or receive great recognition for your efforts. Be humble even as you revel in this glory. This will help you lead those who are keen on following in your footsteps.
Aquarius
First decan (January 20-January 29)
The Moon
You may get deluded into believing what you understand is right. This could lead to trust issues where none exist. Get clarity of mind and let this phase pass before you decide on the path ahead.
Second decan (January 30-February 8)
Queen of Wands
This would be a productive week as you handle your work and life with good maturity. If there’s a board meeting coming up, you’ll certainly ace it. The same goes for other tasks as well.
Third decan (February 9-February 18)

Death
Change is coming and you must open your arms to it. It’s a phase of transforming that part of you that needs change. Go with the flow to reach your destination for a new sunrise.
