If you can handle the unpredictable, however, this is not a particularly difficult cycle, and in some cases it can bring a change in fortune that is for the better. There is no typical scenario to this interval except it usually exposes you to situations that may seem quite different than is customary. You have an opportunity to make important shifts in your life, and events may bring them to you. Appreciating the value of what you cannot control can help deal with the erratic nature of this time, and trusting that all will work out to your advantage usually is vindicated.

Circumstances may prompt you to seek greater freedom for yourself and others as you may no longer abide what is tried and true. You tend to have greater interest in what is new, and you may like to experiment in expanding the range of what you know. Occasionally, you can follow a path beyond reasonable boundaries and end up in a strange place that may have no point of reference, but generally you benefit from exploring outside the limits that you have come to accept. Restlessness is often a characteristic of this cycle, and you typically need a lot of room to move around. If you find your way blocked for any reason, you can become unyielding in your demands for freedom.

This period can prompt you to step outside your normal pattern of living. It can bring a refreshing change from what is predictable, and you may find it easier to take risks or at least to broaden your perspective. Success can occur if you expect surprises and recognize that no outcome is fixed no matter what the odds. Although this often is a time of instability, it also can bring opportunities to be yourself, especially if you tend to hide those qualities that make you unique. Encouraging what is different rather than upholding what is the same, you can open the door to unforeseen possibilities.
