Today is not a particularly strong
day unless bolstered by by other good
aspects, and there is danger that the

perhaps litt!e too elevated, but the
mind should be concentrated and not
allowed to wander off into vain and
Elusive projects. If blessed with means
learn to make good use of them and
not to chase zephyrs.
