Absolutely not. "Waiting it out" is only one strategy — and often not the best one.
During a challenging cycle, you can:
- Build inner resources. Study, reflect, heal, strengthen your body. These investments compound and bloom when the weather shifts.
- Change your environment. Your chart's "bad" cycle may be neutralized by a location or community aligned with your Useful God.
- Adjust expectations. A weak Wealth cycle isn't the time to gamble on a startup — but it's a great time to master a craft that pays later.
- Use elemental remedies. If the cycle brings too much Water, cultivate Fire through action, warmth, and connection.
Waiting is passive. Preparing is powerful. The cycle will pass either way — but you choose whether you emerge stronger or simply older.
