The
major theme of this year is confinement, either self-imposed or
imposed by circumstances. While you may be restrained in a physical
sense, your spirit is likely to be uplifted. The more that you can
transcend physical restrictions the more that you are likely to find
this year rewarding. For instance this is the ideal time for
spiritual retreat and renewal, for working in service to humanity or
for intense study or a project that requires concentrated behind the
scenes effort. In a woman's chart this can indicate pregnancy. Some
of the structures in your life may have dissembled enabling you to
contemplate your past, present and future. Your year is likely to be
littered with opportunities for quiet contemplation, to work behind
the scenes and to support other people. In other words this is not
your time to shine in the sun, but rather to reflect in the shadows.
It is an excellent year during which to lay the groundwork for a
future project. For instance this year you could begin to write your
memoirs in preparation for publication next year. Whatever your
circumstances it is time to assimilate all that you have learnt
before you move forward. Patience is a virtue. US President John
Quincy Adams once said, "patience and perseverance have a
magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles
vanish." This could be your year's motto.
You
may also be required to be of service to other people either those
close to you or humanity in general. In particular you may spend time
in an institution such as working in a library, or tending to the
sick and needy in hospital. In spiritual terms this may feel like the
dark night of the soul, but you are soon to experience spiritual
enlightenment. This is a year to go with the flow, act with integrity
and understand that your experiences are leading to an awakening in
some area of your life.
