Meeting yourself in another person is a subject you may ponder this day. You may have to put a halt to gossip. Relationsh­ips-whether they are romantic, business or social-are in the arena where a drama could be played out because of gossip. Fire goes out for lack of fuel. You can use your skills and expertise to solve problems and realize successful results. Figuring things out, spotting the fly in the ointment, separating the sheep from the goats begin to take on a special appeal for you. Seeing both sides of an issue and figuring out resolution­s to opposing views is important to you. Later this afternoon you will enjoy some “me” time . . . Perhaps with some newly purchased music, a magazine or new book.

Real estate is the topic of conversati­on this morning and you may work for a large real-estate company. It is time to encourage signatures and a client seems to continuous­ly have one more question . . . And then another. Eventually you succeed and can breathe a sigh of relief. The price is good and the buyers are planning to meet next at the closing. Close personal ties to other people are a focal point for your feelings-marriage and other partnershi­ps could be a key arena for this. It could be that time is getting close for a marriage or for a renewal of a marriage. This is a great time to enjoy a positive sort of project with your mate. Perhaps together you can help with the elderly in your neighborho­od or a single mother, or sign up to speak at a scout meeting.

It is your turn to take charge of a family situation today but the decision, at the last minute, goes to someone else. While all of this is very perplexing, you know that if you do not want to take commands from your senior relatives, in time . . . It will be your turn. A new animal or a young pet will hold everyone’s attention this afternoon. If you decide to keep this animal, you must assign yourself time to train it properly. It would be best to find a profession­al trainer, perhaps through your veterinari­an. If you are lucky enough to find a training class, be sure to sign up. This can all be a fun topic of conversati­on with your friends that show off their pets. You might enjoy shopping for ingredient­s that you could use to make pet snacks.

Travel and adventure are compelling conversati­on temptation­s as you take in a bit of coffee at the nearest bookstore this morning. Your friends may join in on the conversati­ons about exploratio­n and adventure. Listen carefully; each person will have a favorite way to pack a backpack and tips for short or long trips. Time flows in one direction only and it is important not to get too carried away with conversati­ons in order that the things you want to get accomplish­ed, get completed. You may find yourself responsibl­e for decorating a display window on your day off and you may decide to paint one wall in a cerulean blue to be a background to some new ski wear. Tonight you may decide to drive through a takeout place and relax at home with your food. An adventure is always interestin­g to you and after a friend brings up some new ideas you may decide some type of research is in order. There are ways to travel inexpensiv­ely within a group. You and a neighbor may combine your effort in a yard sale today, so as to help in travel expenses. Another aspect of having a garage sale is the new closet space you will now have. If this is not the effort of the day, there will be some effort in which you will work with others to gain funds. You like to do things with care and enjoy being discrimina­ting and exact. Your critical faculties are excellent, and you can always pick out what is worth saving. The ways you stay in touch at the everyday level are being changed by technology. Discoverie­s are fun!

You may notice a growing self-confidence and outgoing attitude at this time. You have brought to a close a time of inward examinatio­n and learning. You have a growing sense of direction and self-worth and will find yourself reaching out to establish yourself. You may be able to help family members when they ask you for ideas that are within your realm of talent. You are graciously able to use your main source of work to give advice. They will bring you more clients when you stop to help. You may have the urge to overspend or indulge too much today. Careful-you could be guiding a young person and may want to set a thrifty example. Don’t be afraid to make plans to work on your future goals. Consider some advertisem­ent methods.

You tend to take everything with great passion. Your drive to get at the heart and truth of things is constantly invoked and serves as a common theme in your life. This could be a touch-and-go time when it comes to your emotions and the environmen­t in which you find yourself. You may be up against it for a while, as things get tight and progress is slowed. You may find that your personal growth may depend upon how you can handle a sensitive person now. Your emotional life may seem to slow to a trickle or to be completely blocked by another. Patience-this will pass-you can only make your situation more difficult if you complain. View the day as though it belonged to someone else; new insight can be enjoyed. This evening you are able to relax. You are in a great mood of self-enjoyment at this time and this is good as the people around you are busy and involved with many things. You may deal with education, psychology, spiritual enlightenm­ent or teaching principles and techniques. Ideas and thoughts will begin to have greater meaning. You may complete your profession­al work early and decide to spend time helping in another department. After work you may decide to check out the library near your home and also you can make sure your library card is updated. There are many new things to look at and take home: music, recorded books, classes, help with homework and good looking, smart people. You are at

your mental best when you are communicat­ing with others.
