HOROSCOPE
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY
A serious edge to your communication style could color an important relationship. Consider moving in a new direction, which would allow more of your ingenuity and humor to emerge. You could turn a difficult situation into one that is far easier.
You might want to play a passive or laid-back role in what is happening. You also might not have much of a choice, considering your obligations and energy level. You can push yourself only so far. Return calls.
Keep your long-term goals in mind. You could be concerned by a loved one and his or her attitude. Understand your limitations, and know that you can do only so much. Recognize what you want from this situation, and quietly walk toward that goal.
You often are sought out to handle difficult situations or to give advice. Such is the case today, but you also are juggling your own needs. A family member can be downright depressing. Walk away from negativity, whether it is personal or professional.
You could opt to detach from what is occurring at the moment, and you might be a lot happier as a result.
Henri Arnold and Mike Argirion This year, you might rely more on your creativity. The results will be excellent, though you often might be challenged by a partner or loved one. If you are single, you meet people with ease, but often discover that they are difficult, withdrawn or depressed. If you do not want this type of relationship, move on. If you are attached, avoid nitpicking over money with a partner. It won’t help; instead, it will cause tremendous irritation. Conversations could be unduly heavy or serious. The more you avoid this energy and just deal with the issue, the better.
Deal with a partner directly. Hopefully, this person can identify what is causing a sense of tension or concern with your budget. A conversation for only your ears could be more significant than you realize. Listen to what is being shared.
You might feel overwhelmed and could be making this feeling even more intense by either ignoring it or inflating it. Your best bet is to just energize and get done what you must. As soon as you clear out some of your responsibilities or errands, you will feel better.
Remain even when dealing with an associate or someone who is a part of your daily life. If you feel negatively about a request or situation, be sure to weigh the pros against the cons before announcing your concerns. Also, ask for feedback from a friend or loved one.
Much is happening around you. Do you really want to be involved? Choose your battles wisely. Allow more friends and fun to permeate your relationships. Understand what is needed from you.
You are wellgrounded on the basics of life, and you know how to encourage others. Someone around you could feel quite dejected, but you’ll help this person get through it. Maintain a high level of privacy.
Keep communication flowing. News or a call from a friend at a distance might put you off. Listen carefully, and you’ll find that there are mitigating circumstances here. Tap into your imagination, and you will see a situation differently.
Your ability to move past a restriction is admirable, but a partner keeps blocking the path, leaving you in limbo. Detach as much as you can to gain understanding. Timing will be on your side later. Let go of a hassle for now.
