18-31 january ◆ seen from outside

Where have you come together with others? What parts of yourself have you given away or contributed to the whole? What beliefs and causes have you organized yourself around? The newness of this time is exciting and maybe over-stimulating, so as the dust begins to settle in some places, it is time to take in the lay of the land. This week illuminates the ways we bring our individual selves into relation with groups and communities. What have others brought to light about your ideas and viewpoints? If you can see your persona or self-expression through someone else’s eyes this week, spend some time recalibrating your understanding. It may take some kindness with yourself to do. We may have a moment where some part of ourselves that we haven’t seen or sought to bury will be in the spotlight. Arguably, the response to this break is more important than what comes up. Let the news soak in before taking action: respond instead of reacting. If you need to grieve for any parts of your life that have left recently, don’t skip ahead without concluding the matter. Those who welcome the change will have a view into the void that now exists. What is being pulled into place?
We are at the beginning of an interval of re-evaluation. It may not be apparent yet, but the next several weeks offer us the ability to rethink and reassemble the parts of our lives that have recently been dismantled. Whatever you have been working on will likely need a slower, more thoughtful approach in the coming weeks. Plan not to get it right for the first go, but be sure to bring the knowledge from that misstep or failure to the second, or third, rounds. Reconfiguring the way we socialize has been a significant facet of the last year, but this period highlights the topic in a new way. What new technology is out there now that wasn’t before? Who are you connecting with that you were previously unable to? How can you continue to reinterpret what it means to gather?
The start of the week brings in some unexpected news or energetic self-expression. Try to be flexible without breaking, something probably easier said than done now. If you have not been “feeling like yourself” for a while, this might be the jump that starts you to integrate those new aspects that appeared recently.
Relationships might be challenging through the middle of the week. Part of the disharmony is being more self-interested at this time or feeling separate from those around you. Don’t be surprised if everyone wants some more alone time, and don’t be afraid to ask for some yourself. A more difficult underlying issue in your union might surface and demand a change. Consider the foundation on which your relationships are built and check for areas that need to be fortified. If there have been issues brewing, now might be a better time than usual to try and resolve them.
As the week comes to a close, it seems like there is a push to be productive but not much support to take action. If you are met with several roadblocks, reconsider your approach or simply give it some time. Plans or communication may be disrupted, so consider an alternative should things go awry.
