DECISION - ACTION
The first half of the zodiac teaches about how we emerge out of unconsciousness and put own own unique stamp upon the world. The first 3 signs are about differentiation as we experience desire, which is shaped by potency, made into form, confirmed and then expanded in its reach by discovering new ways to be and showing this to others. A major shift of direction occurs at the summer solstice when yang energies reach their zenith and the power of yin steals the light and, slowly but irresistibly, makes us turn within. The second 3 signs require us to stabilise who we are in order to gain better self-awareness, and begins with decision. |

DECISION - CULTURAL IMPLICATIONS
The decision of greatest consequence - who we are - begins with the recognition that we fit into an integrated whole as part of a huge dynamic process of give and take. To escape the implied limits, of duty and inevitability, requires that we can imagine something that seems almost fanciful but we see that others can be special so we copy them until we learn to trust our own intuition more. Yet if we want to go the whole way we must find and follow a guide. |

DECISION - INDIVIDUAL IMPLICATIONS
Having come to acknowledge that we need to decide who and what to be, we monitor our physical urges and emotional responses to our environment before shaping a more considered philosophical approach. By ridding ourselves of inappropriate belief and opinion, we reveal much greater potential and assert the will more strongly in the direction of fulfilling the highest level of attainment. It is by walking the path of Truth than we find realisation of both the inner and outer planes. |

CONSOLIDATION - ACTION
Our decision about who to be is consolidated into life through a threefold process - doing, feeling and understanding. The first stage of them begins with a concentrated effort to embrace each side of all the many inner ambiguities and polarities and, through that, progress towards greater fulfilment. We need to take full responsibility to finish what we start and integrate ourselves properly within the framework of our particular community, adopting certain of its customs and ways. |

CONSOLIDATION - CULTURAL IMPLICATIONS
Whereas 'fame and fortune' is the most worshipped of gods, it is a false god and leads us off the path of joy. Trusting that we can passively but intentionally draw into our lives that which fulfils the soul's purpose, we begin to integrate the various aspects of self into a unified whole, and this creates a resonance at a higher vibration of magnetism and, through the strength of faith alone, causes us to become leaders of our circle of influence. |

CONSOLIDATION - INDIVIDUAL IMPLICATIONS
The interplay between the individual and their community is conducted as a creative tension, each side pulling and then giving way in turn, co-creating a society that must necessarily both limit and support free individual expression. The power-possessors will use their influence to protect their elite position, and yet forces of Nature and the spirit of humanity's rebelliousness are always going to challenge fixed positions. This process mirrors a similar one within each of us as individually and we find that with age we tend to become less the rebel and more part of the consolidating authority that experience bestows. |
