COVID-19: Where Do We Go?

Life is a constant cycle of learning and transformation. We are in the first quarter of 2020 and the implications of the Universal number 4 (2+0+2+0 =4) are being felt. Number 4 signifies reconstruction and re-evaluation of our vision. It encourages hard work, discipline, structure, realistic goals and the need for security in the wake of ensuing obstacles. Add to it the wobble of the Leap Year, makes the need for balance, all the more crucial. It is a pivotal year where materialism is being forced take a backseat.

This is a year of growth in the dimensions that need change. Changes are sudden to bring order in your life, especially in the areas of finance and health. It induces confinement, restrictions and hurdles.

On a positive note, it reminds you of the strength in going slow, exercising thrift and budgeting your excesses. It may get you involved in government-related or collective projects, reworking both your business as well as personal strategies.
