Those attached should be wary of a potential third party coming into the picture. In matters of wealth, you may find yourself beset with legal issues.

You may go through a major loss of wealth; streamline your businesses and wait for a more opportune time to grow. Employees should read legal agreements carefully before committing to them.

Watch out for schemes that threaten to wipe out your savings. Business owners should be wary of hiring people who don’t have the right attitude even if they are talented, as they may prove difficult to manage.
