This week carries the feeling of departure. Some begin literal journeys. Others step into new intellectual territory.

You may encounter a passionate teacher or mentor, or find guidance from someone you once admired from a distance. What's striking now is how far away certain places or people feel — and yet, instead of discouraging you, that distance pulls you in.

Things that are easy to reach or quickly understood don't hold your interest right now. What calls to you is something farther off, something that somehow pierces the heart.

These distant presences shine brightly in your world this week. As a sign of travel and knowledge, your natural curiosity is awakened by forces reaching you from afar.
