Outstanding Good Fortune

‘The day of fortune is like a harvest day,

We must be busy when the corn is ripe.’

Goethe

Tremendous possibilities are available to you. Projects you undertake now will be very successful. Relationships will thrive. Outstanding good fortune is indicated. This might well mean a considerable and possibly unexpected improvement in your circumstances. But it could also refer to the way in which you are now able to take charge of your life. You can make great strides in the direction of fulfilling your potential. In terms of your current situation, you are quite clear about where you stand and what you are aiming for. You are in a position to organize your life in a way which will best achieve your goal. Let your decisions and actions be based on what you sincerely believe to be right. Never compromise your truth. Be independent in your thinking, live according to your highest values and fortune will smile upon you.

An opportunity for personal growth

Whatever the situation, your position in it is centre-stage, right in the spotlight. You now have an opportunity to shine. Because you have so much to offer, whatever you would like to accomplish is possible. Do not let this to go to your head. Be kind and unselfish. If you are modest and open-minded, you will gain the respect of everybody involved. You have considerable influence so be sure to use it well. Count your blessings and appreciate them fully. You have a responsibility to all concerned, not least yourself, to maximize your resources. Provided that your motives are unselfish, you will succeed. But do be careful not to bite off more than you can chew. If you need help, don’t be too proud to ask for it.

Further aspects of the situation

NINE AT THE BEGINNING

All is going well. But there has as yet been no opportunity for anything to go wrong. Do not be lulled into a false sense of security. The situation is just at its beginning and will invariably have its ups and downs. If you are careful not to invite trouble, you will meet with no major problems.

NINE IN THE SECOND PLACE

This is not a time to hide your light under a bushel. You have many gifts and abilities and are now in a position to use them to great advantage. Help is available to enable you to achieve your goals.

NINE IN THE THIRD PLACE

You are blessed with certain gifts. They are not meant to be used for yourself alone. If others benefit from your resources, you will be rewarded. Only small-minded people wish to keep everything for themselves.

NINE IN THE FOURTH PLACE

Do not be conceited. Boasting about what you have will only make others feel envious. If the result is that they try to compete with you, trouble will follow. Be modest and cooperative.

SIX IN THE FIFTH PLACE

Because you are so obviously sincere and trustworthy, people warm to you. But watch out for those who might wish to take advantage of your openness and good nature. Be discriminating about who you take into your confidence. Do not allow anybody to behave disrespectfully to you.

NINE AT THE TOP

This is a splendid line which represents great achievement. According to ancient Chinese thought, the able person who does not look for recognition will be blessed by Heaven and receive its help. This means you must be modest and not let success go to your head. Be as willing to support as to lead.
