Anchored in wisdom, take a leap of faith

 

This week (January 25-January 31), the cards reveal that collective ambition and determination could override individual abilities and aspirations. 

New developments, turning points and technological breakthroughs could mark the week ahead. 

Intellectually-driven, futuristic humanitarian solutions could gather momentum.

The ego could find a counterbalance in partnerships if wisdom is given the chance to regulate affairs.

Care must be taken to pause at the peaks to avoid an imbalance or overexertion. Along with the pauses, patience will be a key factor in maintaining a rhythm.

The week is devoid of psychological depths which makes it unanchored euphoria for the collective. It’s thus important to remain grounded and to focus on self-care and compassion.

[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.
