We recommend avoiding the abuse of alcohol consumption
Complete acquired religious obligations
Strengthen your marriage on a solid base of respect and mutual understanding
Recuperate ethical values and morals that permit better interpersonal understanding
It is a sign that marks the benefits of climate changes—when they are normal
Being disagreeable and capricious does not solve problems
Be very careful of the intrigues caused by a third party: they could affect the relationship between two people
PROVERBS OF THE SIGN
The rooster pecks at the young male chicken because he sees in him a future rival.The chick follows the hen because she feeds him.Whoever robs 1000 will loose two thousand in the course of his life.There are many choices in life.
