The word resolution often evokes the idea of making a promise or strengthening our commitment to something. We set goals and intentions for the new year, hoping to achieve them with determination and perseverance. However, there is another meaning of resolution: the quality of being clear and detailed, or the act of resolving or clarifying something. In this sense, resolution is not only about what we want to do differently, but also about seeing things differently.

Increasing our clarity, gaining higher resolution, or bringing what is important into sharper focus can help us understand ourselves and the world better. Higher resolution can help us identify not only what matters to us but why it matters. We can unearth hidden facets of our personality, shedding light on aspects that were previously concealed or obscured. Clarity can also help us appreciate the beauty and diversity of life, the complexity and interdependence of nature, the richness and depth of culture, the creativity and innovation of humanity.

By increasing our resolution, we can also enhance our decision-making and problem-solving skills (a big theme for this blog this year and moving forward). We can see the big picture and the small details, the causes and the effects, the advantages and the disadvantages, the similarities and the differences. We can avoid jumping to conclusions or making assumptions (this a bad transit! Or this is a disastrous eclipse!), and instead seek evidence and reasoning. We can be more open-minded and curious, and less judgmental and biased.

Astrology serves as a powerful tool that can enhance our perception of life by providing a more detailed scope of time, the horoscope. It enables us to tap into universal energies through increased awareness. By scrutinizing our past, understanding our present, and visualizing our future, we gain a deeper sense of clarity and perspective. Thus, Astrology holds significant potential to enrich our lives, to the extent that it could be considered a hidden advantage for the small percentage of the population that actually studies and applies the knowledge.

Therefore, this year’s NEW RESOLUTION can be a powerful tool for personal growth and social change. Instead of making resolutions that we may or may not keep, we can increase our NEW RESOLUTION using astrology to see things more clearly and deeply. We can use our resolution to learn, explore, create, and contribute. We can use our resolution to make our lives better, to create a more meaningful and beautiful world.

Happy New Year!
