โง the โmy entire identity is changingโ year
โ๏ธ sun in the 1st house
this can feel like a complete reset of yourself. iโve noticed this placement often comes during years where someone becomes much more focused on who they are, how they look, what they want and how they want to be perceived.
you may randomly realise youโve outgrown an old version of yourself. the clothes you used to love donโt feel like you anymore, certain friendships donโt fit anymore or your goals completely change because youโre becoming someone different.
this is the โi donโt recognise the old me anymoreโ energy.
this is one of those placements where life can feel like it suddenly speeds up.
you might make unexpected decisions that surprise everyone around you because internally youโve already been changing for a while.
changing your appearance, moving differently, leaving situations, discovering a new interest or suddenly wanting a completely different life direction can happen under this energy.
