- Overall luck
- Busy first, quiet later. If drawn in spring or summer, push ahead; in autumn and winter, slow down and keep what you've gained.

- Sweet at first. When the glow fades, keep it alive together. Say thank you more often.
- Business
- A strong start. Save while it's good, and share with the people who helped.
- Work

- Buying a home
- Be careful and don't rush. Make sure you can keep paying in the quieter years.

- Legal disputes
