You have outgrown who you were, and it is time to allow the transformation of Self into who you want to become. Don't underestimate your ability or readiness to shed the old and become the new. Have the strength, courage and tenacity to do what is needed in order to move forward and make manifest and real the person you see yourself becoming rather than continuing to expend energy towards maintaining the old you and your old life. This is a period that can be characterised by death. While this might mean having to deal with literal death in your life in some way, it can also mean having to let go of the old and put to "death" the old way of being. Be willing to let go, to no longer cling to that which has no life. You've carried around the dead weight long enough; let it go and let it rest in peace. It doesn't serve you anymore, so why allow it to continue being a burden you bear ? Prepare for opportunity disguised as loss. Instead of holding on to it for dear life, let it go gently into its passage to the West so that the new may then be allowed to come forth. A bond is being or needs to be severed; a relationship needs to be radically changed. But, like the phoenix, know that you will be able to rise from it and be the better for it. Adapt to the demands placed upon you right now rather than fighting against them just because they might involve something different. In order to rule, you must learn how to serve. Remain humble.
