Smoke going to the right
When the smoke blows to the right this represents that you have to continue focusing on your desire as it is definitely manifesting for you now. Do not let the vision go, focus on what it is that you're doing for yourself.
Smoke going to the left
You're doing the right thing, when the smoke blows to the left that represents that you have to let go a little bit of your desire, as you might be over obsessing over it. You Might be overthinking it a bit, thinking that you can't have it, so learn to detach from that so that you can manifest it easier. That basically it for what the smoke directions represent for you.
