1. Just Thinking… Behind every great man is a great woman (every great man is supported, guided, helped and even pushed by a great woman). ”The End Justifies the Means…” Sometimes it is necessary to do something wrong to get what you want. If someone feels that the ruler/s of his/her country is destroying the country, that person should try to overthrow the ruler/s. There are circumstances or events that justify murdering someone. Success is worth any price you have to pay. Traitors should be executed. What goes around comes around (karma). Human beings are easily tempted by things they want, even if it’s wrong. Your astrological forecast (your horoscope) is a good indicator of how your day will go.
