The Home 
Because you've been extremely busy and are in need of a rest, you'll postpone activities involving travel to another day.
Inheritance 
Your best success will come through your ability to maintain control over volatile conditions and utilize ideas in order to bring forth the kind of results you want.
Focus 
The focus is on all the things you thought you had completed or had a handle on -- old friends, lovers, habits, desires, health, money, or business problems -- resurfacing for the sole purpose, it seems, to "test" you to your very core.
Desire 
You want spiritual assistance in producing the solution to a problem.
Success 
You are going to have an unexpected call from or "encounter" with an admirer (someone you were attracted to or involved with in the past) who has returned as if to have a last goaround or to close that chapter in your life for good.

Disappointment 
You will no longer be subject to limitation, anger, frustration or emotional pressure.
Beginnings 
You will "inherit" spiritual encouragement and positive changes by looking beyond your limitations.
Action 
Someone who likes you a great deal will give you something or lavish his/her generosity upon you. This could also indicate a spiritual gift of some sort.
Blessings 
You will consider it a blessing that you have a friend or boss that favors or loves you.
Guidance 
Mundane: Many unforseen or unexpected events are going to come up, but these elements will chemicalize, neutralize, or transform situations, all with a positive end in view. Esoteric: What you're experiencing is a clash between the old and the new, a chemical reaction in mind, body, and affairs caused by a reaction to a new action. There is nothing to fear; it's part of the process and without it change could not occur.
Fortune 
Work on yourself, and don't be afraid to air your fears or let your "demons" surface. Confront them head on, and if you need verification or more understanding, ask for it!
Outcome 
The right ideas or actions will be provided, but it will take special effort or concentration on your part to use them to your advantage.

Desire

A debilitating illness, business disagreement, or emotional issue will cause a loss of employment or earnings.
Work/Career 
You will have an upsetting confrontation or argument at work (or related to your work) with an employer, competitor, or one you conduct business with. However, it will be adjusted or resolved.

News 
You're going to have a conversation concerning a loss of some kind -- something important. (This could be financial).

The problem is not going to go away of its own accord. You must alter your stance or take action to resolve it.
Blessings 
You will be grateful for the arrival or realization of a new platform for future endeavors.
Guidance 
Mundane: The first step in correcting a problem is to acknowledge the fact that you have veered off your course or are moving in the wrong direction. That recognition is enough to stop the momentum from continuing. Esoteric: Your pain could be an indication that you are healing. On the physical plane, when one has surgery the next step is recovery, which can be just a painful. When the spiritual or emotional body undergoes "surgery," the healing process is much the same.
Fortune 
Your timing will be excellent, and you will acquire something that will relieve your tensions or correct for losses.
Outcome 
You will do some re-thinking but, in the end, will decide to pass on, withdraw from, or sever a partnership.

Luck will be with you in reaching positive solutions and in achieving most of your goals in a relatively short time.

Mundane: It's the call of destiny that motivates you or compels you to go on. Your desire is NOT in vain, and what you are yearning for will ultimately find fulfillment. Esoteric: Yogananda states: "The Karmic Law requires that every human wish finds ultimate fulfillment." Could it not follow, then, that your desire is the thing itself, knocking at the door?
Fortune 
You will make great strides in your longterm professional goals, be showered with gifts, assistance, and business calls, and good news will arrive offering new hope and the promise of future success and fulfillment.
