Fortune supports finances and family. Such natives may come from a wealthy or cultured background and often gain from ancestral or spiritual wealth. Speech may carry wisdom.

Luck favors self-effort and communication. These individuals can manifest fortune through writing, teaching, media, or marketing. Courage and initiative attract divine support.

Blessings from past karma support emotional peace, mother, real estate, and education. Spiritual traditions or religious environments in the family are common.
