The desire to grow, expand, or take on more in Part of Fortune areas may exceed what is realistic. Promises may be larger than what can be delivered.
Optimism may outstrip practical capacity. The square asks for measured expansion - saying yes to genuine opportunities while maintaining honest awareness of limitations.

This transit lasts only a few weeks per pass, sometimes returning for a second pass months later.
