Yeyale'el

Yeyale'el accompanies the period from 6 to 10 January and belongs to the Archangels. Its motto is «My higher vision leads me upwards». In this symbolic portrait, seeing and being seen are two aspects of the same gift: recognising something and directing other people's attention towards it.

You may have a presence that draws people's eyes. You can point out a detail, make a possibility clear and help an audience feel that what is happening concerns them. This intensity seeks a way to express itself: through care, understanding or performance. Ophthalmology, neurology and psychology represent different ways of helping people see and understand more clearly, through the training each profession requires.

On stage, the relationship with your audience can bring you particular joy. Elvis Presley, Domenico Modugno, Joan Baez, Celentano, David Bowie and Paolo Conte evoke the talent for capturing attention and engaging many people. Communication is at the heart of the example: a gesture or a voice becomes a shared experience.

You may also be drawn to what lies beyond familiar ways of seeing. Bernadette Soubirous evokes religious visions, Kahlil Gibran mystical exploration, and Stephen Hawking scientific research into black holes. These are different paths with different standards, brought together in this portrait by a desire to look beyond what is immediately apparent.

The gift applies to many kinds of work: art criticism, lighting, advertising, image consultancy, illustration and investigation. Gustave Doré and Boris Vallejo represent the power of images. You can reveal what was hidden, make a scene understandable, expose deception or deliberately create an illusion, as in sleight of hand.

Here the main flaw emerges: the ease with which you shape appearances can become a way of deceiving other people and yourself. When building an image matters more than truth, defending it takes more and more of your energy. Richard Nixon evokes the cost of concealment and abuse of power. The ability to persuade does not remove the consequences of what is hidden.

Honesty is therefore a central practice. Separating fact from interpretation, admitting a mistake and making agreements clear can resolve problems that have become tangled around an image. This applies within you too: recognising what you want and what you fear reduces the need to invent more convenient explanations.

When you find an undertaking you believe in, you can become very active and courageous. Contact with others feeds the pleasure of giving form to what you have to offer. Rigoberta Menchú and Sun Moon appear in connection with communication reaching many people, in different settings; the connection concerns the reach of their public relationships, without equating their ideals or actions.

Prolonged isolation, by contrast, can encourage a closed loop of thoughts. Remorse, resentment, anger and regret occupy the space that once belonged to creativity. The same imagination that can engage others may amplify fears and make certain interpretations seem more solid than facts. This is not an inevitable consequence of your birth, but a difficulty to recognise when it arises.

Returning to concrete communication, with trustworthy people and shared activities, can help you regain perspective on what is happening. If fears or beliefs become overwhelming and interfere with everyday life, seeking professional help matters too. Your direction is to use the power of appearances to make something true visible, while keeping a personal space where you do not have to play any role.
