Change is inevitable; let go

 

Sudden events could mark the week ahead (January 11-January 17). 

While it is likely to reveal the path to significant transformations, it could also seed intense thought patterns. The unconscious is hidden as the outcome-focused conscious world takes precedence.

Humanitarian concerns, social standing, and reputational issues could come under the spotlight this week.

Delusional energies continue to prevail and thus clarity of thought and communication would become critical.

Maintaining stability and harmony are important.

Being overtly possessive, closed or self-centred could be counterproductive. Do not cling to the past. Let go!

Amid these shifts, pay heed to your instincts. Turning to spirituality could be useful.

[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.

Scorpio

 

First decan (October 23-November 1)

Third decan (December 12-December 21)

 

VI of Wands

Capricorn

 

First decan (December 22-December 31)
