Performance

Celebrate the completion. Gather resources for starting in a new direction. The Rota turns. Each project that is started must also be finished. The completion of a cycle becomes an opportunity to examine what is thought to be 'necessary' and discard that which has been outgrown or that which serves no purpose. Travel lightly.

Leo

Anxiety, Challenge, Schism, Contention, Gambit

Frustration is evident at every juncture. All seems amiss. Clarity is not to be found. What is holding the self back from actualization and purpose? Distinctions must be made between manipulation for self-aggrandizement and sincere efforts of authentic motive. Old behavioral patterns warrant close examination for genuineness.

Sagittarius

Burdens, Dejection, Overwhelmed, Difficulty

Oppression of self, through a holding back of expression, requires correction. While setting limits and enforcing boundaries is imperative, it is also imperative to not restrict either vision or creativity. Omitting the physical overly confines the spiritual; omitting the emotional narrows the mental.
