FRIENDSHIP
“Two hands linked in a close grip of friendship.” — The 360 Symbolic Degrees
It’s a beautiful day to connect with the world. Join hands, collaborate, hang with friends…. It might require some courage. Emotional insecurities might get triggered. But it’s best to take it slow anyway.
First get organized, for a calm mind.
Then decide which projects to do, because you probably can’t do them all – unless you prioritize.
Flow into your new future.
Some may be lost in confusion and out of alignment. Should you be tactful? Or should you be wild and spontaneous?
Relaxed professionalism and diplomacy may be best, for now. Everyone will get what they deserve. What goes up, must come down. Watch for misinformation now, too. Travel not advised.
Take it slow, practice self-love, join together.
Social collaboration, starting or leading large association, good intellectual ideas may earn fame or profit. Illumination, aglow with promise. Harmonizing results in security, comfort. Thorough efficiency may be wasted. Always needing more money. Danger, losses. Criminal tendencies, violence, poison, suicide. Military mutiny. Travel not advised. Remain at place of birth. Two marriages, double identity. Unconcerned about worldly success. Neurasthenia, heart valve. Mineral ore.
