Let go of old patterns; make space for new

 

Happy, fast-paced and dreamy to some extent, the Week Ahead (January 27-February 2) will include all these elements but more importantly, it’ll bring to the fore grand visions and leadership matters.

The need to surrender and let go of old patterns to adopt new perspectives will become pronounced this week. 

The week will mark new beginnings. The number of abundance, growth and prosperity— 3 — appeared nine times! 

Collectively and individually, a few questions we must reflect on are: What is beginning, what is changing, what is getting realised and what can be sacrificed for a grand vision?

Pause and reflect if what one gains is greater than what one surrenders.

[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.]
