Growth of personal responsibility, increase obligations and/or burdens are issues on your plate this year and into mid-2005. This can be an excellent time to grow and cultivate a career and future prospects. Naturally there are bumps on the road to success. Maturity comes with a price tag. In addition relationships require more effort and patience. Effective communication is challenging, as your sensitive nature does not like to lay down the law or dictate the course of action. Friends, school mates, colleagues and siblings can offer a great sounding board and invaluable aid and advise. Some relationships can become strained don't cast aside rather discuss issues with diplomacy and honesty. A steady course makes this a great year.
Our friends and colleagues are the ones who help us understand our desires and aspirations. It can be irritating when they make us face the facts and remind us of what we have always told them we really want. This year listen to their advice.
Our school buddies and siblings are the ones that teach us about our daily activities. They motivate us about our education and current situation. How we learn to express our views starts with these individuals.
Spring-Summer brings a period of inner contemplation. Periodically we need to reassess what we need and want out of life. Our values and priorities shift so gradually that we don't pay attention to their impact on our lives. Your perceptive nature enables you to know the inner motivation of others with ease, and thus you sometimes don't voice this with them. Not all of us can read minds, and we need the words. Learning to express these inner thoughts and share them with those you care about is important. Likewise cultivating a better rapport with siblings and alike individuals is important this year. Education and learning are issues you may find yourself contemplating at this time. Discuss your choices and you will find it easier to make decisions.
Romantic relationships, creative work and your real and figurative off-spring will get a boost. Expect surprises and naturally a few shocks along the way. The seven year period that starts now brings a lot of soul growth. When we consciously tap into our imagination the rewards are immense.
