Work and money
Push for the promotion, the deal or the raise. Effort is often rewarded with authority and money this year. Stay honest, because shortcuts tend to backfire in an 8 year. It is the strongest money year of the cycle for income, property and getting back dues, so pay your taxes and debts on time.
Love and family
Balance ambition with time for the people close to you. Respect is the language of love this year. You may support your family with money; plan it, rather than giving each time you are asked.
