16-22 september ◆ reality bites

Where have you been toiling away this year? What are the important projects you have been trying to focus on but just hitting a wall? What are the far-flung dreams you are laboring to bring to reality? The fog that invaded has begun its retreat and and we are thrown back into reality. This is a turning point in a matter that has been going on for some time. Not unlike last week, the feel of this week depends on what is shaking out. It depends on how diligent you have been and how realistic you remained through the process. Even if you have dotted and crossed every letter, there could be a crack that shows you the faults that lined your path. The only practical advise for this time—which is the only kind you’ll want—is to pay attention to where the movement is. This shift is unlikely to be subtle, but you will still have to be paying attention.
We are asked to give up some part of ourselves that we identified too closely with or built too much of our life around. Chances are this is something that we inherited from our upbringing. Check any limiting beliefs that are no longer serving you—they may be so well integrated that you need someone else, or something bigger then you, to see them. Alternatively, where are you taking on more responsibility than necessary? Are you taking on more than you can handle? Perhaps you are trying to be a critical factor in a matter that is not yours to control. You could be casting yourself in a more important role in someone’s life than you need to. Take a step back and reassess what baggage is yours to carry. This release is tied into a goal that you have been daydreaming about. Now is the time to see where possibility and reality intersect.
Try to take some time to relax on Tuesday, it may be the quietest day. Wednesday bears a noticeable shift: anything from recognition of hard work to bouncing off a brick wall. You’ll receive your graded tests today. Thursday may provide insight into your motivations. Watch for power renegotiations—you’ll likely have an energy boost for making changes. Saturday brings your big plans and dreams full circle. This should be less like a difficult test and more like a coach giving you feedback. Sunday is slated to be an introspective time. It may be taxing to be understood today, if you want to talk at all. Avoid the tendency towards pessimism and harsh words.
