► Talking is always good, but doing is much better today! This is a great time for taking action -- signing documents, starting projects, and making your big romantic move. Open your mind to the idea that you are ready to go. Stop waiting for someone else to take you by the hand and tell you it's time -- it is not going to happen. You have been procrastinating too long. You need to just start putting things in motion and all of your confidence will come later. Your need for culture is strong now, which could mean that you need to get out there and hit a museum, or create something new on your own. Write a play, take pictures or invent a new app!

I do not fully understand what the meaning of this event, but I feel this is definitely a kind of great things, for example, a man with his two beautiful women, or a man with his two beloved things, such as his son and his lady, a much smaller example: my fiance, my baby and me.

(Mmm, ... ... it could have been so, but it is certainly not about a woman with her ​​two beloved men, Cisca! A real example : ye! See? Even naturally, the Earth refuses polyandry issue, you know? "You are the only one for me," said the Moon to its Sun. Now try to ask it on Mars. Maybe Mars approve the issue of polygamy, who knows?)
