POWER

“A strategist with critical, orderly and penetrating mind.” — The 360 Symbolic Degrees

It’s an excellent day to stay more quiet than vocal or active. Buried instincts surface which creates illusions – especially self-criticism, resulting in nervousness or maniacal conceit.

Some may lose their way in the dark; others tap into buried personal power.

This is a smooth flow of power, for good or evil. Don’t hold back from fear of suffering. Consider any walls you put up to avoid feeling vulnerable – which creates unnecessary suffering. Find joy in the outside world.

You’re back in your power now, but use it wisely.

Resistance, endurance. Precise strategy. Extremely cold logic. Self-righteous mastermind. Deception, treachery. Caustic. Apathy, fatalism. Poverty. Differences exaggerated. Political events fail or succeed. Get a health check.

Methodical thinking but lacks emotional qualities that make life more vital than a problematical theory. Prefers to stay in background, adding up facts. Misfortune from stasis. Atheist or worse, agnostic. Aching to turn the world around, channeling, expressing what lives inside. Avoid speculative ventures, do everything possible to lead an even, temperate life. Math, Military Science, Food Chemistry, Music, Photography, Satire, Metaphysics. Upper intestinal areas.
