Purchased Flight Itinerary for Step 2

It has been over 3 months since I purchased my flight to New Zealand and when I leave Aotearoa on July 31st it will have been exactly 2 1/2 months. 2 1/2 months in New Zealand at the worst time of year due to the weather. Talk about drastic change! I went from feeling chained to a bullshit existence in a tropical climate approaching summer to feeling uncomfortably free of choice, yet uncomfortably too far removed from the world on an island with a temperate climate approaching winter with southerly blasts of bone chilling winds. Step number 1 has been completed. I purchased my tickets to SE Asia on July 8th, the same day, oddly enough, that my jyotish chart dictated my life to enter my 3 year stage of Rahu. While researching an ancient vedic astrology site yesterday, I found the Rahu phase to signify "foreigners in all fields- people, countries, tastes". How I ended up choosing SE Asia as my next destination, I have no clue. I have a mind obsessed with making plans and setting goals yet somehow my actions are guided by an impulsive intuition which wins over sensible reason 99% of the time. Step 1 was in search of step 2, which has become an out of the blue trip to SE Asia. This pattern is continuing on with step 2 turning into the pursuit of understanding step 3. As crazy as it sounds, I'm in search of what I want in a career. A career, after all, is what I paid my jyotisha to help me understand in my chart. Hmmm...
