Would you have a great empire? Rule over yourself.
Publilius Syrus
Your Year of Holding the Center Well. This is the year your steadiness in the middle of competing voices becomes something you carry with full awareness, something you no longer apologize for or quietly doubt. The patience you bring to learning slowly is the same quality that has been keeping rooms together for years, and this year you feel the connection between them clearly. A project in the spring earns its footing because you stayed with it past the point where others stepped back. By late autumn, someone whose approval you have wanted finally says the thing you needed to hear. The middle is your domain, and you have been governing it with more skill than you know. Step into this year as the one who understands that steadiness is a kind of mastery. The empire begins here.
