- The good forces are growing, and you are in a position to lead and move others.

- Where it is heading
- Things are moving toward Sun (Decrease): Giving something up, cutting back a little, is worth it now.
- What to do
- Lead and help people with sincerity, not with sweet talk or pressure. Prepare ahead of time for when the tide turns.
