Look beyond face value 

 

Clarity is expected to dawn this week (February 22-February 28).

From what I read in the cards that were pulled, new developments, which are likely to be in the public domain, may be mere talk with little that could materialise. Ideas need merit and a firm resolve to come alive. 

However, the wisdom to view matters from the perspective of the greater good could be lacking this week. This prompts us to listen to our inner voice and focus on gratitude if we wish to reach higher horizons.

Sudden changes and transformations are indicated, with transitions largely operating as undercurrents and thus not easily visible.

The focus shifts from the individual to the collective community. 

The trend could shift between foundations that define traditional values and those that embrace unconventional practices at a collective level.

The pace of development is likely to be slow in this somewhat imbalanced week. So one needs to be more persistent.

[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.
