The importance of being careful in choosing which conflicts to enlist in
In light of the upcoming conflicts and chaos, it is crucial to consider carefully before choosing which fights to join, as once enlisted, it can be difficult to get out.
The potential for regional conflicts and unfrozen conflicts
With the increase in Mars activity, there is a higher possibility of regional conflicts and unfrozen conflicts resurfacing. These conflicts may involve countries testing the limits of larger powers or tensions boiling over in regions where conflicts have been ongoing.
The possibility of World War III
While there is speculation about World War III, it is important to note that the current conflicts do not have the same global scale and consensus as the previous World Wars. The fragmented nature of conflicts and lack of shared civilization make a large-scale global war unlikely.
The significance of structuring goals and using the Capricorn season
As the first half of the year promises chaos and conflicts, it is important to set clear goals and structure one's life. The Capricorn season is a good time to establish routines and habits that can provide stability and focus amidst the turbulence.
The importance of personal sovereignty
In a time of potential conflicts and chaos, it is essential to maintain personal sovereignty and carefully choose where to enlist or align oneself. This ensures that one remains in control of their own actions and decisions amidst external pressures.
