You may be busy multitasking, but don’t forget to smile
As life moves in swings, one may find themselves being caught between polarities which can peak at certain times. This week (November 16-November 22), the pull between home and workplace — between emotional security and material stability — could intensify.
One could be juggling between the personal and professional, between comfort and stretch goals, and between meeting personal targets and aligning with organisational visions.
Not only individual accomplishments, but the collective organisational success and accountability could also come into focus.
Skills and team efforts could get more pronounced this week with extraordinary efforts, passion and determination coming into the spotlight.
Given this backdrop, the appearance of the Queen of Cups which got pulled thrice, reminds us about the constant need to be compassionate and to act with empathy.
The need for personal care and well-being will be necessary. The Temperance card prompts us to maintain moderation in all we do. This is important as meeting targets can at times lead to excesses. Pertinently, the missing number 9 reminds us to keep our moral obligations and responsibilities in mind as we go about relentlessly pursuing our dreams.

[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.
