Faith is the basis of the Path,
the mother of virtues,
Nourishing and growing all good ways,
Cutting away the net of doubt,
Freeing from the torrent of passion…
Faith can assure arrival at enlightenment.

Note: There is a close mutual aspect between Jupiter and Saturn through the end of the month. The impact will be greatest on Cancer rising sign persons, companies, and countries. Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn, and Pisces rising signs should also be careful and patient. Do not take risks or chances, watch your health, and avoid debts and disputes.
