The Judgment

“Peace. The small departs, the great approaches. Good fortune. Success.”

This suggests:

• Negative influences are fading

• Positive opportunities are increasing

• This is a time to build, expand, invest, and strengthen relationships

• But peace must be maintained, not taken for granted

Peace is not permanent — it is a cycle that must be managed wisely.
