Period
From 29 October to 2 November

Yelahiyah accompanies the period from 29 October to 2 November and belongs to the Virtues. The motto «I seek truth ever higher» introduces an intense energy, capable of captivating others and quickly entering into conflict.

Your gift is a presence that reaches many people. Your voice, gaze, gestures and determination can make each person feel personally involved. Burt Lancaster, Charles Bronson, Bud Spencer and Gigi Proietti evoke this strength on screen or on stage; Diego Maradona brings it to the football pitch. The bond with the audience makes visible an ability that can also operate in an everyday occupation built around meeting people.

Your main flaw is a touchy sense of justice that can become bullying. When someone's conduct or way of speaking offends your principles, you may react with disproportionate intensity and pursue the conflict until the other person pays for the offence. Being convinced you are right does not make every reaction just.

Ambition drives you to seek a full, expansive life. It can sustain effort and courage, but can also harden into arrogance, wounded pride or contempt. Your arguments may be very sound while closing off every possibility of conversation: if you use logic to prevent the other person from replying, you stop seeking truth together.

You may readily recognise what is wrong outside yourself and find it harder to observe your own tension. The desire to dominate, the search for danger or the feeling of invulnerability deserve attention before they become choices. Marie Antoinette appears as a reminder of the vulnerability of someone who fails to protect themselves in the face of historical change.

Meeting many people can give your intensity a constructive direction. A performance, a commercial activity, a public role or group work can turn aggression into liveliness, humour and engagement. This possibility can be found in a simple setting too. You need a real exchange where your energy can circulate and receive a response.

Staying shut away for long periods in work without interaction may be difficult for you and allow irritation to build. Planning breaks and encounters also allows you to preserve the concentration your work requires. Benvenuto Cellini evokes the relationship between intense artistic work and conflict; John Keats, the poetic sensitivity of a gentle person able to express in verse what remains private in daily life.

Ezra Pound brings another risk: intelligence and artistic greatness do not protect against embracing destructive ideas such as fascism. Even when you feel misunderstood or isolated, you can seek people to talk to without surrendering your clarity to an allegiance that feeds contempt.

A couple's relationship may feel confining if it becomes the only place where you bring every tension. A partner cannot sustain your whole emotional world alone. Keeping friendships, projects and opportunities to participate can help you experience closeness without asking the relationship to contain every need. In intimacy too, listening to rhythms and desires different from your own requires a willingness to step out of centre stage.

You can learn to recognise tension before it turns into an attack. Naming a disappointment and asking for a specific discussion make it easier to receive a response. A pause can allow you to return to the conversation with the energy needed for mutual understanding instead of only the desire to prevail.

Your direction is to give form and proportion to an authentic strength. You can be firm, seek visibility and face a setback while remaining respectful. Listening, responsibility and a chosen space for expression make your presence freer and more enjoyable for those close to you too.
