You're bestowed with more energy than you know what to do with. Yet the planets are encouraging you to do something not so characteristic of your sign: Pace yourself, move methodically, and take the long view. You're onto something unusual, with a bit of extra potential. Yet your path to success looks like it will require you to revise your plan several times, including the financial end. Keep in mind that you're not sprinting but rather running a marathon, one whose course is not exactly set at this point. As you take the journey of the next year or two, you'll become a distinctly different person from who you are today. The greatest points of potential emerge where you encounter any seeming obstacle, diversion or reversal. That's where the real power is contained. To tap that power effectively, you'll want to be moving slowly and with conscious intention. The challenge here is that you are likely to be feeling driven and ambitious, which for you translates to the desire for speed. Instead, work for mindfulness and efficiency. Most important, focus on who you are becoming as much as on what you're doing, making or reaching for. When all is said and done, that's the single most important factor in the equation of your life: who you are becoming, in the present, now.
