General
The night is ending and dawn is breaking — but this change shows its true power when it finds you centred. A sudden realisation may suddenly clear up something that has long been hazy. Hope is no longer abstract but concrete and certain.
Love
The uncertain, dark time in your relationship is behind you — everything is now much clearer and more open. This moment of awareness is carrying your relationship into a new, healthier stage.
Career
A deep transformation, even a revolutionary breakthrough, may be at hand in your working life. The solution you have long been looking for may come clear when you least expect it. To act on this insight, you need to stay centred and calm.
Stands for sudden awareness and breakthrough change; but it asks you to be centred first — it is held to be strongest in a moment of calm, not in the middle of chaos.
