This is the critical and disruptive period of life each year.
In one sense it is disruptive, and in another sense it is the first stage to reconstruction. For that reason, each should be warned to take advantage of the natural tendency of this period and at the same time guard against these tendencies that they may not go too far, or that one may not wrongly
labor and run counter with the tendencies instead of cooperating with them.
It is the period when most things that have been hanging fi re and are about to end, or disrupt, do so. If a business or any other affair has been going poorly and has shown a tendency to fail, and go to pieces, this is the period when such a culmination is most apt to occur.

This is a good period for dealing with elderly persons, judges, referees, or persons who must debate and consider carefully and for a long time before rendering their decisions.

It is also a good time for business interests dealing with inventions and mechanical things, and even for applying for patents or government papers of protection.

It is a very good period for dealing in real estate, mines, and minerals, and those things that are of the earth, and deeply seated in it, or in hidden or out-of-the-way places.

It is a good period to deal with persons engaged in lines of business connected with these things, or with grain or fruits of the earth.
