Independence is often a characteristic of this cycle, and you can attain it more easily now if you want it. While it can mean seeking your own, it also can be a time where you champion the rights of others who are underserved in some fashion. You tend to have a greater appreciation for what is different rather than what is the same, which makes you more willing to take a position that is counter to the prevailing majority. You have the capacity to find opportunity that others might overlook or they avoid because it is too unorthodox. Taking a calculated risk can mark a turning point that puts you on an exciting path. Attempting what is out of character or is a departure from your normal pattern likely appeals to you in some way.

The opportunity exists for unusual insights during this period as your mind is exceptionally sharp at times and alert to what most people miss. The more original your approach, the more likely you will arrive at answers to what you wish to learn. Circumstances may make it easier to deal with what you don?t know, and unexpected events may hold welcome surprises. There is an element of discontinuity that pervades this cycle although you may experience only one or two disruptions during this entire interval. Yet whenever you are thrown off course, you likely encounter something or someone interesting and unusual which can have a sudden impact.

Conditions favor an objective perspective where you can see things for how they really are without undue subjective influences from you or someone else. Being in the present can minimize the effect of the past on your decisions, and confidence in what lies ahead can prompt you to make changes without looking back. You do well with few restrictions, and often you are lighter than usual because you are unencumbered by excessive responsibilities. The advantage of this period is in offering possibilities that you may not ordinarily consider while allowing you the freedom to explore new dimensions that can alter your life for the better.
