“Continuous effort—not strength or intelligence—is the key to unlocking our potential.”

Winston Churchill

Underlying Theme for All the Signs: There are positive signs with regard to growth for those who are practical go-getters, committed, down to earth and clear about goals. Those goals might include the possibility of marriage, starting a family or starting a business, but the approach is the same—channeling energy through hard work, pragmatic ideas and organization to establish a foundation. To manifest the conditions you desire requires that you refine your inner self to focus on what enriches you so that you can make better decisions. The first step is visualization and intense concentration on the details that really matter. New associations also have the potential for solid future commitment when you use resources wisely whether finances, opportunity or people willing to help you in your endeavors. The challenge is being overly concerned with the material or outward appearances and losing sight of what truly holds value.
