From 19 to 23 September

Menade'el accompanies the period from 19 to 23 September among the Powers. The motto «From the place where I am confined, I can generate abundance» describes the possibility of turning a constricted situation into a starting point.

Your gift is finding an opening where there seemed to be only a wall. You may remain stuck for a long time because of practical difficulties, family dependencies, habits, laziness or fear. This time does not prove you are incapable. Observation, talent and the desire to act can mature within a situation offering few possibilities. When you begin to use them, the way you recognise opportunities changes too.

Liberation is not only about leaving. It is a change of direction: attention once absorbed by enduring becomes energy for building. Ideas, courage, curiosity and pleasure in work return. Not every opening comes suddenly, but you can recognise a turning point in small actions that make the past less inevitable. Your example can help others see that a disadvantage does not define an entire life.

Mickey Rooney evokes moving beyond a role that seemed limited to childhood. Erich von Stroheim brings the theme of an identity rebuilt to enter a new environment. Stephen King is connected both with emerging from difficult years and with his stories of people imprisoned in normality and its nightmares. Sophia Loren represents the passage from a confined environment to an international presence; Andrea Bocelli, a career that blindness did not prevent.

Michael Faraday offers a different image: his study of electrolysis symbolically evokes forces changing direction. What once held you still can become material for a beginning. You do not need to erase your history to stop being its prisoner.

Transformation may take time. If it comes late, comparison with those who began earlier can make you bitter. You may have met people who exploited your willingness or discouraged your abilities. Recognising these experiences helps you protect yourself and choose different relationships. It does not oblige you to justify them or wait longer to demonstrate patience. Someone who once underestimated you may learn from your change; they do not have to do so for your path to have value.

The main obstacle is nostalgia. After freeing yourself, you may soften your memory of the old situation and want the security it offered, forgetting its limits. You then risk returning to inertia. Gratitude for what you have lived is different from wanting to restore it. Through his affectionate bond with Georgia and with singing, Ray Charles represents the possibility of cherishing a land of difficult beginnings without remaining confined there.

When nostalgia becomes a rigid outlook, everything new seems a loss. Girolamo Savonarola appears as a figure of rejecting the new, hardening into a demand to go back. The reference to Octavian, Caesar Augustus, instead points to a turning point capable of changing a political system for a long time. These examples clarify two directions within the portrait: defending what you know at any cost, or recognising what needs to change.

You can express yourself in very different fields. What matters is how you work: seeing chains, seeking overlooked resources and bringing unexplored possibilities into the present. In relationships, choose those who support your independence and allow others the right to grow too. Your richness comes when the past becomes experience you can use and the future has room again.
