What it says about…

Overall luck
Good overall, with luck close to home. Hold off on long trips or moves, and talk with family first.
Love
Good, though slow at first. Be thoughtful, never tricky. Couples, talk more and meet halfway.
Business
Competition is normal, so go steady. When harvest comes, save what you earn.
Work
Waiting to hear after an interview? Your chances are good.
Buying a home
Very good. Check the condition, papers and neighborhood before you sign.
Health
Eat well first. Surgery looks favorable, but ask your doctor everything.
Exams
A sign of passing, and good news for promotions.
Legal disputes
Likely to win. Save messages, receipts and contracts, and let it go afterward.
Family
If there's still friction, it's between people. Start with a kind word and a meal together.
