Be strong, agile and tolerant this week
Sudden events, revelations and transitions call for courage in breaking stalemates this week (October 5-October 11), leading to quick deliveries and karmic retributions.
The energies are expansive, leading to turning points and closures. But a hint of temptation, ego, and greed could also be deluding.
Materialism and ambitions override raw passion and emotions. It’s likely to be a transactional week driven by crass logic, where there’s limited consideration for empathy, although the appearance of The High Priestess draws our attention towards the inner voice.
The week could see a play of power, success, authority and financial gains (or losses) that could sway the fortunes.
The week certainly has the potential to break deadlocks while indecisions could lead to forced exits.
The energies could trigger responses that are likely to be impulse-driven. It may be paradoxical but the week also has a rigid or stubborn tone to it. Negotiations and business dealings, in particular, need to be handled carefully as they would either materialise or fall flat.
The week is likely to be lacking in wisdom and compassion.
So be aware, kind and humble!

[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.
