Applying yourself to important and intimate issues can bring real progress in their understanding and their resolution. This is an excellent time to recognize the difference between the conditions that have shaped you, and the needs that are your own. It is likely that some of the expectations that you attempt to fulfill are a product of your past or of someone else?s need for you and may actually hinder your own development. You can use this time to eliminate unwanted patterns that have conditioned you to respond in particular ways that may not enhance your well-being. While you must have the motivation, actions that you take now, to bring greater personal contentment likely take hold and can have permanent results.

Working on family matters can reinforce the bonds, and wherever there are weaknesses, your efforts can bring greater harmony. You may benefit from uncovering your past as exploring its history and engaging those members who know the most about it may assist in giving you a profound perspective of where you belong. Although this generally concerns your physical family, your examination into your roots may seek a larger framework than your immediate lineage, and you may experience a connection to life in general that offers a security that anchors you as deeply as possible.

In whatever ways you feel discontented, this period offers you the possibility to alter unwanted conditions. There is something irrevocable to the forces that are at work now, and you can use them to end what is no longer needed and to fortify what is at your core. Energy put into your home and living situation can make them better, especially if you seek to pare down to what is indispensable. There likely is satisfaction in purging unnecessary elements in your life, allowing the essential to stand out and the new to emerge.
