Check the stones of your partners, relatives, and friends. Perhaps their white stones can help compensate for your black stones.
Do not be fooled by a large number of white stones in the forecast for the year. Be vigilant, because white stones, let's say, discourage and incline to laziness. Use the opportunities that open up, but correlate them with the restrictions (black stones) of the year. Remember that the harmony of your internal energies and their coherence with external energies – that’s the key to success and fortune.
Remember to focus on internal changes (in consciousness, in character), not on rituals. Develop a balanced, mature approach to life, use common sense, and everything will be fine. Good luck!

During the year, there will be small ups and downs, energy will increase and decrease. Consider introducing a controlled energy consumption regime, try to distribute your life force evenly throughout the year.
Body

You do not need to rush to the gym, a caring attitude and respect for the body are welcome. Tibetans advise to do a magic trick: change the style of clothing, change the image, hairstyle, hair color, etc., or, for example, come up with a new nickname, alias. By doing this, you can deceive „evil spirits“ who will not be able to find you and damage your health. As with any magic practice, focus on internal changes, be fully aware of the result. But do not overdo it, fit all changes harmoniously into your life.

Harmonize your life, measure your efforts with other indicators of your horoscope and use the increased energy for the benefit of not only yourself but also others.
Fortune
One white stone and one black stone mean that your natal Element produces the Element for the year. This is a neutral combination of stones.
