From 8 to 13 September

Leheḥiyah accompanies the period from 8 to 13 September and belongs to the Powers. Its motto is «My spiritual growth seeks its law ever further beyond». In this symbolic portrait, the gift is continuing to grow: exploring the world, the mind and your own possibilities without treating any achievement as final.

You can retain a lively curiosity even after gaining considerable experience. An explanation interests you, then you want to discover what it leaves out. A theory helps you understand until the moment comes to test it. This applies to your own ideas too: you can go beyond something you upheld with conviction if a discovery takes you further.

Henry Hudson represents exploration of a passage still unknown. Leo Tolstoy evokes a search that questions certainties even when this creates conflict with political or religious power. D.H. Lawrence brings the movement of travel and personal experience. In all these examples, the journey continues because the position reached cannot exhaust the desire to know.

You may enjoy winning, but even more surpassing your own previous standard. Jesse Owens, with his four gold medals at the 1936 Berlin Olympics, shows the strength of an ability finding concrete expression in a test. Preparation, precision and the desire to advance can make you valuable at work too, especially where existing things need improving.

Your abilities may attract the attention of influential people. You can become a trusted colleague, an adviser or a partner able to see possibilities others miss. In a leader you admire, you often recognise qualities you want to develop in yourself. Noticing this lets you learn without remaining dependent on their approval.

The path matures as you find a direction increasingly your own. You can welcome help, ask for what you need and receive gratefully without handing another person the right to decide your worth. Inner growth becomes real in choices that widen your freedom and help you use your resources better.

The first major obstacle is anger. When routine stifles you, impatience can turn into contempt for those who are content. You may consider others too slow or shallow while waiting for those very people to provide the recognition that should confirm your worth. Inquiry stops: instead of exploring, you begin fighting to be heard.

Fear may also lie behind this harshness. Advancing means leaving comfortable certainties and taking responsibility for what you see. Presenting yourself as a misunderstood hero can become easier than taking the next step. If you gain power, the conviction that you know better may lead you to impose your own path. Ferdinand Marcos represents the authoritarian side of this drift: the force of command loses contact with listening.

The second obstacle is perfectionism. You may turn the same demanding gaze on yourself, magnify a flaw and postpone an undertaking until you feel impeccable. The ability to improve yourself then becomes constant surveillance that removes pleasure and makes beginning difficult.

Lightness helps loosen both forms of closure. Laughing at your own rigidity, acknowledging a mistake without humiliating yourself and accepting that you learn by doing restore movement. The most useful humour includes you too and does not need to hurt someone to make you feel superior.

Leheḥiyah's direction is to go further without losing humanity. You can seek much, receive help and change your mind. Your growth becomes more solid when you allow others a different path and yourself the right to remain unfinished.
