A quotation from Gaiman, Neil

I hope you will have a wonderful year, that you’ll dream dangerously and outrageously, that you’ll make something that didn’t exist before you made it, that you will be loved and that you will be liked, and that you will have people to love and to like in return. And, most importantly (because I think there should be more kindness and more wisdom in the world right now), that you will, when you need to be, be wise, and that you will always be kind.

Neil Gaiman (b. 1960) British fabulist

Uttara Phalguni also incorporates the preparation for returning to work after a resting period.
#Aryaman, the #God of #patronage and #kindness, is the ruling deity who gives Uttara Phalguni a civilized and cultured approach to life. People born under this #star are noble, reliable, and generous. They are quite concerned with helping others and adhere to proper social etiquette. The ruling planet is the #Sun, who gives qualities of radiance, prosperity, charity, and benevolence to Uttara Phalguni. This star has the ability to formulate creative expression and develop opinions.
