You may have an overwhelming desire to withdraw or to retreat from the stresses of the everyday grind since you likely are significantly more impressionable now. Harsh circumstances may impact you in some way, a way which you may want to avoid. This cycle, however, can allow you to embrace the extremes that you tend to invite making you less fearful of people or circumstances that are outside of your control. You can initiate steps at this time that can ultimately break through groundless apprehensions that may have undermined your efforts to achieve what you want.

An irony of this period is that it can intensify weaknesses in order to bring out strength. Your vulnerabilities may have a compelling attraction to you and to others. While you can be exposed at your softest points, you can begin to fortify any shortcomings by probing them to their very core. In this way, you unmask what may have caused you untold problems in the past but seemed to have eluded definition. Situations sometimes demand that you take a look at what you ordinarily ignore and may coerce you to uncover the truth. To the extent that you have equivocated on various matters by not being direct, this process can require that you repair what is misleading.

The air that you may clear during this cycle can set the stage for a new beginning where you are driven by a need for purity in intent and in action. It is possible, however, that this cycle merely reinforces the very ambiguity that can make you and life in general difficult to read, despite persistent efforts to have you investigate the source of any confusion. While you may pass through this period oblivious to the possibilities, on some level it probably activates a greater openness to the mysteries that surround you.
