This is a social, healthy year but can bring emotional stress. It is a time for entertaining, traveling, promoting the self, cultivating friends. Success and happiness come through being creative and through expressing words constructively—writing, lecturing, acting, singing.

The pitfalls to avoid are extravagence (which can lead to financial difficulties in the next year) and wasting opportunities by scattering your energies. 3 is also a romance-prone year, and married people who succumb to triangle-type love affairs now may well be paving the way for a divorce or separation in the next year.
