If you do not know where you are heading, any road will take you there. OPPORTUNITIES: Life is full of troubles, serious predicaments, problems and challenges. In the midst of them all, there is a chance to find a new way. Always be vigilant to see when a favorable moment presents itself before you. WELLNESS: Look well after yourself.
