This may feel like a time of restrictions or complications, as you wait on finances and have complex matters to attend to at home. Remain steadfast. Good fortune waits for you as well as possible travel. Communicate with loved ones as often as you can, by any means available. They will be glad to hear from you whatever you have to say. Time for introspection allows you to realize new things about yourself. You are examining your own values and reassessing your priorities. The search for meaning is uplifting though at times you may feel hesitant to act. Before starting on a new project or making a large scale decision, give yourself plenty of time to think.
