Although this period can enhance your thinking, it usually affects your ability to visualize in terms of wholes rather than parts, especially regarding opposites. Because you typically are more sympathetic to many sides of life no matter how divergent, you may have a much greater capacity than normal to embrace extremes without conflict. While you may draw powerful experiences at this time, you likely can handle them more easily. Acceptance of the inevitable is available to you now, not so much because events of this period require it, but because you can contemplate a wider context than usual. You benefit from reflecting upon matters of crucial concern and their effects both personally and on a universal level. By doing this at this time, you can overcome certain fears that may underlie the larger issues of life.

You have the opportunity to look closely at your weaknesses without avoiding them and to probe behind appearances to the core of any disturbance. Getting past illusions to the truth can clear up many misconceptions. Since this cycle can help to dispel whatever is false, it can bring a subtle yet profound shift in your awareness where you see yourself and the world differently. What was once distorted can come into focus.

Your sensitivity often is deepened now where you notice more intensely everything around you. This may mean that you are more attuned to the power that life offers from nature to business. Circumstances may allow you to open to forces beyond your control without being overwhelmed. In fact, you can become adept at flowing amidst turbulence or in strong currents without being inundated. While this generally is not a time for direct action, it can inspire you on the deepest levels to do better. You tend to respond when prompted by the best and the worst conditions since you are less likely to pass judgments. In this way, you may filter very little, and certain experiences of this process, no matter what their luster, can prove to be very rich.
