The beginning is honest. Then the beginning of something else is more honest. A life can be a sequence of honest beginnings. From the outside it looks like a person who will not pick.

What the sky is often doing

Mercury wants options. Rahu wants the unprecedented option. Mutable signs — Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces — are often described as weather that changes its mind for a living. A dasha that shifts from a steady graha to a quick one can feel like the plot being rewritten. Traditional notes mention many skills, short roads, commerce, a mind that learns by sampling.

Experiment needs a notebook. Escape needs a story. They can look identical in the first fortnight.

You do not need a chart's permission to change a life that is harming you. You also do not need a transit to justify leaving a piece of work because the middle got dull.
