Valid during many months: This influence stimulates your interest in spiritual ideals and occult concerns. You will discover that your usual way of viewing the universe does not provide satisfactory explanations, so you will turn toward concepts that provide better explanations, even though they are not consistent with what you have been taught. Ideas that you have always regarded as impossibly idealistic become more important, and you work harder to make them part of real life. During this time many people become very much concerned with occult philosophy, metaphysics, spiritualism and mysticism. You have a great need to see the universe as a whole and to understand your relationship to it. However, orthodox religions and philosophies will not fulfill your needs at this time, so you turn to less orthodox studies. The overall effect of this influence is to open your mind to entirely new levels of consciousness. But this happens through sudden insights into your experience of the everyday world. It is not necessary to travel to some exotic foreign place in order to experience this. Some people go through a kind of enlightenment during this time, whether through a positive drug experience or through a spontaneous event in their own consciousness. As your consciousness evolves, you will begin to associate with others whose views are similar, so that you can reinforce and strengthen each others insights. In this way you may get involved with organized groups that work to further occult and metaphysical studies. Whatever else happens now, your ideals will be transformed, as will your aims and objectives. After this period you will not be content to follow the same goals; the old ones simply won't have any meaning for you any longer.
