“Making Tight Corners”

Berkano heralds good luck in new beginnings or the birth of something that will bring you happiness. Indicating a period of creativity as well as the ability to move forward with projects & bring them to fruition. This is a lesson of self-actualization representing a critical point in your personal development towards rebirth, healing, or growth. Dedication to not only achieving these goals but to protect & expand upon what you have built so far.  The Emperor in reversed asks you to identify where there’s a lack of direction, maturity or incentive on your part. This includes self-sabotaging behaviors where you can have a lack of assertiveness & willpower. Tighten up any unstructured or loose boundaries. You’ll not be allowed to take the easy road or let another to take the lead but to stand firmly in your power & what you want for yourself.  The Emperor encourages you to be your own champion, putting mind over heart like a responsible adult.  Fire energy (ambition, will power, internal committed drive) will be needed to stay on path or resolve any problem you come up against. Pay attention to any weakness or cowardice displayed on your part -not standing up to others to defend yourself & your work. There’s a need to let go of past hardships & to overthrow their oppressive & authoritarian effects on you- having the courage to put a stop to all of that & blossom into this new version of yourself. The Star cautions against going on intuition alone; it will not get you to where you need to be. Unwarranted optimism, wishful thinking, or putting too much faith in the Divine without putting in the tangible necessary work will not bring this dream into the material plane. Aspirations must be realistically solid & practical. Watch for  “I know, I know”  energy because the truth is, you don’t know. Apprenticeship is needed in these early developmental stages so if feeling inexperienced, seek skilled help. Creative efforts must be harnessed & reigned in to build upon what you already have. Make sure T’s are crossed & I’s are dotted, any necessary permits gotten, requirements fulfilled-You will have to do things “by the book”. If at any time the project is becoming unstable or there’s apparent unreliability or carelessness-Stop and re-group before taking further action.
