The flow has not disappeared; a habit of looking away from the result has taken hold. It is time to face it directly.
In everyday life
- Love
- This can be an equal, balanced relationship. Measuring the weight of every feeling, though, can make you seem emotionally distant.
- Work
- Follow procedure instead of clashing emotionally and the result will follow. For pay or contract issues, gather written records and evidence first.
- Money
- Recover money owed through proper legal channels. Excessive borrowing and false expenses come back around exactly as they are.
- Growth
- A test reflects your ability without luck or excuses. The direct route is the fastest route.
