Introspect, reflect on revelations; start afresh
New beginnings are showing up more aggressively this week (August 31-September 6) with several turning points visible in the cards that got pulled.
For some, the old cycles could take longer to conclude, and they may have to work harder, making extra efforts to cover the last mile.
Mars energy is prevalent this week, demanding its efficient and creative use. Otherwise, it may result in unnecessary stress.
There is a need to invoke spiritual awareness which, strangely for the prevailing season, appears to be lacking this week from what I see in the cards. One needs to take cognisance of the same. You may be moving to a destination without an idea of how to get there. Blessings may be hidden, but they are all around waiting for your acceptance to be guided by them.
Use your intellect, your intuition to discern well. Based on what life reveals to you, introspect deeply on the consequences of your actions. The key lies in maintaining moderation.
There could also be a need to break free from anything that doesn’t feel right and move to calmer waters.
The energies are aligning to bring a balance.
The focus areas for the week would be work, career, wellness, higher knowledge and travel.

[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.
