Inner dignity ***

Valid during many months: Your contacts with others will repeatedly make you aware of the fairly inflexible, rigid or conservative sides of your nature which sometimes makes you your worst enemy. You might notice that you sometimes deride weaknesses in others - ones which you are all too well aware of within yourself but would rather ignore. Such experiences can often be humiliating and we tend to react by distancing ourselves, clinging grimly on to old convictions. We are under no circumstances willing to change our point of view, and would rather criticize those who, consciously or not, are more open about their mistakes.

This influence gives you the opportunity to become more aware of such weaknesses within yourself. It is now particularly important that you try to accept these without immediately wanting to change them. After all, you do have your own unique virtues - a few character flaws don't make you completely unbearable! If you can learn to accept and tolerate your less desirable characteristics you will be less prone to feeling uneasy or reacting violently when faced with them in others. You will then develop a more relaxed and natural authority, based on an inner dignity which is characteristic of someone who has recognized the depths of their own soul.

On a more superficial level, this influence should make it easier for you to change course or break out of existing patterns in your life, even when faced with obstacles or resistance from others. This will in any case be a time of increasing psychological stability, in which you will feel more able to get in touch with your own aims and true values.
