From 27 to 31 December

Fuwiy'el accompanies the period from 27 to 31 December and belongs to the Principalities. The motto is «My mouth closes in indignation». This symbolic portrait brings together clarity, a sense of beauty and difficulty communicating with a world you often feel distant from.

You may notice with great precision what is discordant, crude or meaningless. Your gaze is clear, little attracted by career illusions and the ambitions that drive many people. Your dignity does not depend solely on a role. In symbolic language, the affinity with Hasiy'el and Yabamiyah concerns precisely this inner kingship, experienced before any recognition.

The hardest part is sustaining the distance between the harmony you feel possible and the turmoil you encounter. Others' desires, rivalries and frustrations may seem like noise to move away from. The main fault is pessimism that becomes withdrawal: you expect not to be understood and stop speaking before checking whether any space for connection exists.

Stan Lee represents the possibility of turning this distance into imagination: extraordinary characters bring the relationship between power, difference and the everyday world into fantasy. Marlene Dietrich evokes a beauty able to express distance and intensity together. Even in silence you can communicate much, but the fascination of detachment does not by itself meet the need for relationship.

Your abilities may find application in very different fields. The problem is often not knowing how, but finding sufficient reason to begin. If everything seems disappointing, you hesitate, postpone and leave important resources unused. Bitterness can make you uncertain and isolated, until you grow attached to the part of the excluded person. Manuel Puig's characters evoke this closeness to disappointment and the desire for acceptance.

You may also react in the opposite direction, seeking vindication. You then appear conceited, judge others in advance and keep them at a distance with cold manners. Superiority protects for a moment from disappointment but confirms the isolation you want to escape. The useful step is to recognise this defence and make expression concrete work.

Face, voice, language and beauty are areas particularly consistent with this portrait. Singing, acting, journalism and teaching communication give form to the relationship with the listener. Professions devoted to language, hearing or expression may also interest you, through the study and qualifications required. Difficulties in making yourself understood can become a valuable sensitivity for understanding those of others.

The symbol of the mouth extends to food and teeth. Louis Pasteur evokes preserving food and seeking protection from infections; the connection is with a concrete interest in study and prevention, rather than personal immunity. Simon Wiesenthal represents another application of the same determination: seeking accountability and justice for Nazi crimes instead of merely feeling disgust.

You may feel at ease close to power too, even without having pursued it. Madame de Pompadour evokes the ability to use your position to support culture and ideas. Yet even in an important role you may remain convinced that a beautiful ideal is too beautiful for the world. You then risk moderating every impulse until it becomes harmless.

Growth passes through this point: allowing reality the possibility of receiving something good. You do not need to expect a total transformation. You can make a message clearer, an environment better cared for or an intervention fairer. When your sensitivity takes a form others can share, dignity stops being only distance and becomes presence.
