Just in time for the New Year, the Sun now moves into Gate 38, THE FIGHTER, also known as OPPOSITION in I-Ching.

In its highest expression, this is the energy for FIGHTING for HONOR. But of course it could also just be the energy to FIGHT. Many with this energy have trouble valuing something in their life if they have not fought tooth and nail for it. They are energized by the FIGHT.

This transiting energy is a wonderful opportunity to FIGHT for what you believe in. Make that phone call you've been trying to get the nerve up to make to your representative. Go out and participate in a protest. Speak out loud and defend what you deem deserving of your energy to FIGHT this week.

Also, if you generally find it difficult to deal with confrontation, this may be one of those few times you find you have the energy to deal with a nagging interpersonal issue head on. So do it, but don't over compensate by being too aggressive. Calmly ask if you can address something important and wait for the other party to invite you to continue (this is projected energy after all). Then address your issue directly. You have the energy now to FIGHT for your position.

So seize this opportunity to FIGHT for what is right for you and while you're at it, observe how the world doesn't collapse when you FIGHT for what you need. Maybe, just maybe, this will give you the experience and confidence to do a little more FIGHTING for yourself during the rest of the year.
