This is a period of much self-reflection, analysis, and inner growth. The journey now is inward. You will feel a need to spend more time alone to contemplate your life and those close to you. The questions that pursue you are the fundamental ones of life: Who am I? What I am doing? Why am I doing it?

Your environment or milieu will seem more aggressive than during previous years. This is more a function of your heightened sensitivity and intuition. This will naturally drive you deeper within yourself, causing you to ferret out the important issues that have directed your life to this point.

In order to deal effectively with those around you -- especially family members and co-workers -- you will have to refine your expression in all respects. Don't push people too hard, lest you damage close friendships unnecessarily. This is not a time for being extroverted or aggressive. This is a time of introversion and deeper self- understanding. Be gentle with yourself and those around you. Think carefully before making important decisions. Be cautious when making major changes.

It is a wonderful time to study and to specialize in one particular field. Your ability to think deeply and clearly is at an all-time high. Indeed, your mind is your best tool. You are attracted to the great books, new realms of study, and higher learning. You have the ability to focus and concentrate. You can penetrate below the surface of subjects, to see the inner workings of yourself, others, and life around you.

Avoid becoming cynical and skeptical. Don't be too intellectual, lest you leave your heart behind. This is a time of deep spiritual and psychological integration. The head and the heart should be working together, not opposing each other.

You will likely discover what you most enjoy doing now. Follow these urges; study areas that you have long neglected but wanted to pursue. The inner-self guides you during this time. Listen carefully to its advice.
