‘Norham Castle, Sunrise’ By Joseph Mallord William Turner 1845 {{PD}}
There are power struggles, and then there are power struggles; the key is figuring out which are worth engaging in, and which will only frustrate, lead no where, or be, in the end, inconsequential. Hints for success in claiming your ‘day in the sun’: don’t take on authorities–at the moment they have the advantage; make the effort in areas you would describe as your ‘territory’, and then listen, both to instincts and to what surfaces in consciousness that you ‘know but don’t know’; and make sure what you’re showing the world reflects your true ambitions and desires–it’s only if we ‘own’ these that we have any real hope of fulfilling them.

Happy Solar Return to those born with the Sun at 10 Pisces! (See your birth chart for your Sun degree!) Love or Money hits an extreme this year, with sudden accident, surprise, or innovation causing the extremity, or arising from it. You may even see a related pattern, a roller coaster of ups and downs in some Venusian arena. What’s causing this? Truth is uncovered, things ignored or denied come into the open, and then new, unexpected opportunities arrive from having the facts in evidence. What can you do to have the smoothest, most profitable (in all senses) year possible? Don’t insist on having your way–sometimes, to paraphrase the saying, the highway is actually better; be aware that the most difficult things you face are the things that will actually shape your future; and seek counsel from wise others–your inner guidance may be a little off, right now.
