It could have something to do with you, but likely not. You won’t regret staying within your own boundaries and letting others do the same. Taurus (April 20-May 20): You know someone really likes you when that person tries to be an all-around improved and heightened version around you.

What happens will be pretty funny regardless of the ultimate outcome. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You sometimes question what people want from you, and this is only smart. You don’t have to be a cynic to be on guard against the darker inclinations of human nature. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Blood is thicker than gossip. When it comes to your family, you’re fiercely protective regardless of whether they are in the right or not. And, if necessary, they would be similarly protective of you.
