It’s a powerful period for psychoanalysis, as we’re just detached enough to delve into our personal psychology more objectively.
We recognize the need for change and reform, but also realize that having a solid plan of action is to our great benefit. As such, it can be a time of measured, deliberate change-making. It’s a fine time for forging new alliances and friendships. We might awaken to hidden or dormant talents, including inventiveness, or recognize a stronger desire for independence and freedom. The desire for new experiences is strong.
On another level, it can be a time to use our power and spread our resources more fruitfully and fairly. It can be a time of important and meaningful social shifts as we recognize inequities and course correct. We’re not only unafraid to address touchy, complex, or taboo issues we once glossed over or ignored, but we also find creative solutions. We no longer unquestioningly accept the status quo, and we no longer tolerate our heads in the sand to keep the peace. Still, we should watch for overconfidence as we unearth dark or hidden matter more quickly than we can process it.
It’s a potentially powerful time for reform, growth, and change, particularly related to sharing power and resources, individuality, and humanitarian, philosophical, or religious beliefs and practices.
