Be on the lookout for ways to repurpose the past. Discarded scraps from one project/relationsh­ip/era can be reworked and turned into something new.

Giving is the theme. Give to the point where it feels good, and then go further. It shouldn’t hurt a lot, but it needs to hurt a little. The spiritual benefit of sacrifice can’t come if no sacrifice has been made.

Study and cultural exploratio­n will bring you good fortune. You will feel determined to do your unbiased research, and you will refrain from forming an opinion until you have all of the facts.

Because of the complexity within the crevices of the human heart, people fit together unexpected­ly and in ways so particular that they would be impossible to duplicate.

Remember when you fell in love with a movie character? Remember when you believed in a book? Something doesn’t actually need to happen to feel real. Use this to your benefit.
