Mebahiyah

Mebahiyah accompanies the period from 22 to 27 December and belongs to the Principalities. The motto is «I shape and produce spiritual forces». In this symbolic portrait, imagination and organisational ability serve to give form to an ideal that concerns others too.

You have energy, tenacity, courage and a strong need for freedom. When you nourish the mind with study and experience, clarity, method and communication skills join the initial drive. You can sustain a new work even when it meets personal or social resistance. Repeating what already works is not enough: you want to open a possibility that was not visible before.

Your gaze tends to embrace a broad whole. Mao Zedong evokes the ability to grasp collective aspirations and impose a new order; this strength requires responsibility because the breadth of a vision does not justify every means. Sadat represents the courage to seek agreement between Egypt and Israel in the face of strong opposition. Believing in a cause may make you willing to pay a high price, but does not require putting your life in danger.

Another part of the gift lies in recognising structures that remain hidden. Champollion evokes reconstructing a linguistic system by deciphering hieroglyphs. Nostradamus represents, within the symbolic framework, the attempt to organise inquiry into the future within a broad vision. Their common point is the meeting of intuition, an overall view and the need to give coherent form to what you discover.

Profit alone is unlikely to move you. It may even drain enthusiasm when it becomes the sole criterion for deciding. You are more interested in the value of the undertaking, the effort required and the possibility of feeling equal to something great. Michael Curtiz and Casablanca evoke the distance between a work's value and calculating its return. Jesus of Nazareth brings into this portrait the priority given to a spiritual ideal and justice. This is not a promise that selflessness produces money: it is recognition of the kind of motivation that makes you more present in your work.

To feel well, you seek a link between profession and personal mission. You need to recognise meaning in what you do and be able to act independently. The main fault arises when this dedication makes you neglect concrete needs. You may consider rest, necessary money, personal time and the quality of relationships secondary, as though attending to them would reduce the value of your ideals.

In relationships you then tend to be overly optimistic. You see what someone could become and pay little attention to how they behave today. By settling for little, you risk accepting unbalanced relationships. Later, commitments and concentration on your aims can leave little energy to change the situation. Looking at everyday facts, recognising your needs and setting precise limits make your dedication stronger too.

There is also an opposite movement. After idealising others, you may judge them harshly when you encounter their limits. The distance between the world you want and the one you see can become indignation, discouragement and a desire to isolate yourself. Carlos Castaneda evokes detachment from ordinary reality as a path of inquiry. The image associated with Alexander I evokes the desire to step away from a role and regain inner space.

If disappointment takes command, courage turns into hostility, ethics into moralism and spiritual interest into sarcasm. You defend yourself against what truly matters to you and lose a source of joy. The path consists of keeping your aims large and your care concrete: choosing dependable people, accepting partial steps and continuing to work even without feeling in tune with current fashion.
