Over the next 13 years, <strong>oversaturated desire<\/strong> boils down into acts of personal initiation. Fantasy impatiently shakes loose its unsturdy frame as our visions begin to demand physical embodiment through actions and deeds that match our values and desires. <strong>Courage is the new spiritual terrain<\/strong>.
