A struggle to free yourself from the influence and expectations of others rests deep inside your psyche. You are on a slow but fixed path to becoming a truer version of yourself. This is extremely challenging and requires courage and confidence. The desired outcome is mental and spiritual freedom, independence, and maturity. This process can help you become more confident and self-reliant. 

At the same time, a need to define yourself and recognize your distinctive individuality drives you to distance yourself somewhat from those who have known you for many years. You seek the strength you need to become self-sufficient and complete. For too long you have allowed yourself to fit the expectations of others without establishing your own true identity.
