I had a good test case the other day, too... the day was slated to be mildly positive, but this was on the basis of a whole mess of Acquisitio! You guessed it, it ended up being a rough road.
I think the personal factor here really matters. Don't people say that you need to build a personal relationship with a divinatory system? I guess this is the sort of thing they're talking about... one's personality and circumstances either mixes well or poorly with certain figures. For example, I'm somebody who's been overworked nearly to death my whole life, and have pretty severe health problems from it. Fortuna Major means you need to burn down some reserves and persevere, right? But I have no reserves, so it usually just means that I'll get steamrolled.
So I guess that's saying that hard work and perseverance is good, but too much of a good thing is bad?
