Whatever issues have a firm hold upon you may become more than you can handle during this period, and circumstances may push you to make adjustments. You may recognize that in order to move forward, you have to leave certain elements of your past behind. Pressure can build during this cycle between the opportunities for growth and the force of ingrained patterns that may interfere with your progress. Such tension can produce an environment suitable for significant change or at least for a fuller understanding of the motivations that assist and hinder your development.

It is possible that excessive friction exists during this period which can exaggerate those pressures that coerce you and those that you may not acknowledge or recognize. One potential outcome of this cycle, however, is to increase your awareness of your deepest urges and to improve your skill in expressing them constructively for your benefit as well as for others?. A good use of this time is to rebuild what is in disrepair. Whether it is your own life, a business, or a relationship, efforts that you expend to make better what is in need likely are productive.

This period can bring about success in certain areas, but much depends on how well you deal with power, your own as well as others. You may have an opportunity to demonstrate your strength, perhaps against substantial resistance. But what you encounter tends to make you stronger. Even if you don?t attain your desire, you likely are more capable of realizing it in the future through the tests that you may endure now. Although challenges may emerge during this period, they can activate and support the passion that makes your life meaningful, emphasizing what is essential and nothing more.
