January 14, 2011: Description
It is necessary to keep your ambitious under the strictest control today. This is not the best day to show everyone how
clever and tough you are. Spend this day somewhere in the park, if there is such possibility.
Too much of a good thing is all too easy to find today, so try to limit yourself to just enough and no more. Life gets more
expansive in the near future, and you want to have energy enough to handle it!
