In this transformational week focus on the journey, not the destination
Fasten your seatbelt. It’s action time. You’re on a freeway. The skies are clear and all milestones are visible but there’s no destination in sight.
With seven Knights getting pulled in the readings for the Week Ahead (February 24-March 2) expect a fast-paced journey. Think on your feet. Stick to the norms. Be courageous. Fly if you will.
But don’t allow emotions to bog you down. Living in the moment will be useful in this emotionally charged week.
Do what you do in the best way possible without waiting for the turning points or the materialisation of your dreams. This week, it’s the journey that matters. And it could be transformational.

[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.]
