This life calls us to make strong choices. I feel this usually gets translated into "quick" or "decisive" choices, but I propose expanding this notion. How do we move towards action, including non-action, that is victorious for ourselves and for the people around us?
I've long been curious about this aspect of Warrior nature, but I wasn't expecting it to come up the way it did. I was trying to gain insight into this upcoming Year of the Snake. This past Year of the Dragon has been tumultuous to say the least, but it has brought us a greater consciousness about unlocking our voices and standing tall in alignment with our purpose and vision. By kismet, I stumbled on Rob Brezny's Free Will Astrology. Scroll down to the bottom of this page:

He does a really nice job of summarizing the Four Dignities of a Warrior's Path - you can backwards engineer that situation by reading this thorough, albeit dense writing on the same subject, complete with corresponding animal forms for each dignity:

Kudos to Eastern thought for turning fairly unexpected and unappealing words into sharp and compassionate concepts that are practical and wise. My sincere wishes for you are wrapped up in these ideas. If you have any thoughts or examples of these principles working in your life you'd like to share, we're all ears. (Eyes?)
