While you may have a clear ambition, obligations may redirect your drive towards what others demand of you, and those in authority can diminish your ability to pursue your own objectives. If you resist the demands placed upon you, you can become angry from trying to make things happen against the will of the times. Being patient and accepting the limitations to your desires can fortify you for the occasion when restrictions no longer impede you. However, you can accomplish much during this cycle by working hard on the tasks at hand though it may mean placing your own agenda on hold. Should you have the freedom to follow your dream, you likely still have to persevere against setbacks, as progress generally is slow.

Exerting too much force can have unpleasant consequences, especially if it is a reaction to something you dislike. If active by nature and you exercise restraint, you can find this interval a weight that holds you back. If disposed to a cautious approach, you may grind to a halt. One purpose of this period is to slow movement down sufficiently so that you can see clearly what you truly want and what you don?t want. Then you can redirect your efforts toward what really impels you, which ultimately can allow you to achieve your end. Any discipline that is a combination of mental and physical training and that concentrates your energy in a purposeful yet deliberate manner likely produces positive effects which can offset any disappointment now.

Although this sometimes is a debilitating interval, it usually manifests only if you fight the current and insist on going against the grain. Pressures exist now that are likely too much for you to conquer, and you do best to bide your time, otherwise you can encounter one obstacle after another. They serve as a reminder that there is a time to press forward and time to wait, and that you benefit more by saving your strength rather than wasting it. If you must confront life aggressively, you can still succeed by knowing well your capabilities and choosing your competition and engagements carefully.
