General Recommendations and Tips
Do not worry about the black stones. Everyone has them and the set of stones changes from year to year. Black stones require greater awareness and help people to engage in self-development. If you have black stones in any of the fields, then try to distribute your energy correctly and harmonize your overall condition.
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!
