Becoming more focused often is an attribute of this cycle, although you can become frustrated and troubled if you have too many things going on. You tend to encounter certain limitations, especially if you lack direction or if you are off course. One lesson of this period is to concentrate on the primary purpose for your life, at least for the moment. However, it is possible to gain insight into deeper aspects of yourself that define you beyond this period of time.

On a practical level, you can accomplish a great deal in one area or struggle mightily due to an array of choices. The key is to limit your involvement to only one or two objectives, which you pursue to the exclusion of all others. While you still may labor to reach your goal, you generally have the perseverance or commitment to get there. However, if you have many options to exercise, then you likely will encounter impediments to their achievement, which usually means nothing gets done or at least not done to your satisfaction.

Others sometimes challenge your identity, especially authority figures who tend to hamper what you want to express. If you lack confidence, you likely are acutely aware of it now. Even if you have strong self-esteem, questions over your effectiveness or capability may emerge. One aim for this period is to make you more certain of what you know is true for yourself. This may mean that certain props get knocked out from under you, but what is true will remain, and you will know it. This is an interval to assert, or at least to recognize, your command in those domains that you have some expertise. You may protest that you have no accomplishments. Then this is an excellent time to commit yourself to the mastery of an area that appeals to you, so that you can become your own authority, thus achieving greater self-possession.

Although you generally have greater persistence now, pressing too hard to reach a desired end can hinder its fulfillment. This cycle is about time and timing. Learning when to advance and when to retreat is an important lesson available to you. Along with proper timing comes acceptance for how things are without needing to change them. This period usually has delays at some point, and your willingness to accept them as a necessary part of the process can allow you to slow down sufficiently to appreciate all that is around you and within you.
