This week is the start of a four-week period when you need to hunker down, dim the lights and chill. Preferably as much on your own as you can. If you can get away on an actual retreat, then do it. Take as much time out as you want or your need this week. The insights and revelations which come to you during this cycle can be truly amazing and set you up for the “new year” which starts with your approaching birthday.
