Some of you might opt for a change in your lifestyle, whereas others will admit to enjoying the hectic pace. If you are single, someone of significance could stroll into your life anytime from now through summer. Be open to this possibility. If you are attached, sometimes the two of you go to battle over nothing. Know that there are better ways of handling your nervous energy! PISCES can be very irritating to you, especially at work.
