How to Use This
A weekly forecast describes conditions, not outcomes. Nothing written for a twelfth of the population knows your situation, and any column promising it does is overselling.
The useful method is narrow: read your sign, note the single house getting the most attention, and pick one concrete action that matches. Then look back on Friday and see what actually happened. Do that for two months and you will have something better than belief or scepticism — a personal record of which transits correlate with your life.
