What it says about…
- Overall luck

- Love
- No rush. Spend time together, and move forward only if you still like them after seeing their flaws.
- Business
- Some early snags, easing by the eighth or ninth lunar month. Stay steady and look after your customers.
- Work
- If you've been there long, stay a bit longer. A new job is fine, just hard at first.
- Buying a home
- No rush. Look again in the eighth or ninth lunar month, and if it's still there, take a careful look.
