Pauses indicated in this transformative week
The phase of transformation that I spoke about last week continues to prevail this week as well. If you recall last week’s reading, I also highlighted the importance of partnerships. This week (August 3-August 9) there’s an even greater stress on this aspect at a collective level.
Where and how this plays out would depend on whether the collective minds move towards awareness or delusion. Strength and the ability to manage such situations are missing, and thus, it becomes important to make the right choice. The play is between mind and matter. The choices could be as stark as being possessive to becoming charitable, for instance.
Collectively, the emotional involvement and ambition to achieve the desired result are high. But the determination to execute the same may be lacking this week. Thus, persuasive efforts would be required.
Between cycles of seeding new beginnings to fruition; between losses and gains, transformative breaks are indicated.
Moderation is required to manage these changes, along with the choices that align with the higher purpose.
Those rooted in spirituality could find it easier to manoeuvre such terrain.

[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.
