Mastering a subject can boost confidence, attract opportunities and expand horizons. Get an intellectual workout. Concepts that were once elusive can be easily comprehended under this influence. In addition, the determined Sun begins its journey in Virgo. Acquiring knowledge will be empowering. Develop a reputation for being an expert in a particular field. Specializing in a particular area can pay off handsomely, particularly for Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn. A job involving teaching, writing or lecturing could arrive quite suddenly; there may be lots of travel involved. Looking ahead, combative Mars will make a square to escapist Neptune. Repressed anger could cause a temper tantrum. Instead of trying to suppress powerful emotions, it will be better to find a healthy outlet for them.
