Karmic tail 12-19-7: Warrior

In this life

Yet a series of events keeps pulling them into outward confrontations. These are not necessarily wars in the literal sense: more often muffled hostilities, clashing interests, at the office, at home, or among acquaintances. Everything depends on how they use their strength, their influence, and their character. As soon as they take sides and defend a camp with ardor, above all through physical force, declaring it in the right, they are, according to the method, taking the wrong slope, and life makes them pay for it. It often happens that those they were fighting for only recently turn on them suddenly. Conversely, when their energy serves to build and to calm conflicts, the results are excellent. Their charisma is powerful; they know how to lead people effectively and bring them along. It is in this role as a guide, turned toward building, that they have their finest successes.

The lesson

According to the method, the lesson is to learn to take in each situation as a whole and to rise above it. It means understanding and accepting varied points of view, examining each thing and each event from several angles, without siding with anyone in quarrels. Even if the pull toward real war zones is felt, the recommendation is to stay at a distance. Talent behind the wheel, strength, and boldness will find their place in peaceful professions.

To this outer fight is added an inner struggle that holds back access to what they want.

Before taking any position, you step back and look at the conflict as a whole. You practice restating each point of view, including the one that bothers you, and observing each situation from several angles. In disputes, you refuse to pick a side. And you direct your boldness, strength, and leadership talents toward a peaceful activity rather than toward battlefields.

The steps

• Before taking sides, describe the conflict as seen from each camp
• Examine a tense situation from three different angles
• Stay neutral in the next dispute among loved ones
• Set aside projects that lead toward combat zones
• Explore a peaceful profession that uses your strength and your driving
