Even as we try to expand our reach or expand our power and authority, we feel pressure from past hang-ups, the kind of thing where our own fears bedeviled our efforts before, and those same fears, especially ones around destruction or loss, plague us once again. What we’re not recognizing is that opportunity, especially opportunity uniquely suited to us, only comes when we choose to be fully Self-responsible; the urge to not ‘go it alone’, in this instance, isn’t about partnership, camaraderie, or cooperation, it’s about fear. Admit that, and you’ll see exactly how you’re ‘choosing wrong’ for your goals–and so will know how to ‘choose right’.

Good day to . . . operate solo, even in the midst of others.

For those born with the Sun at 04 Virgo. Check your natal chart for the correct Sun degree (you may want to read both the degree number and the one that follows, if you have minutes on your Sun position–together these offer a more complete picture of your year ahead). Dear Virgo, it seems you’re getting serious about getting serious–and everyone knows–but do they know how deeply you feel, how very much emotions are affecting current efforts? This solar year, through to your next birthday, you may need to face and possibly share these feelings. It’s all so you can banish some long-time hurts, once and for all, so that you can get in touch with your own personal sense of authority and exercise it within your domain, and best of all, it’s a way to deal with your past and at the same time build the future you want. Biggest asset this year: your beauty as a person. I’m not kidding. Good luck!
