Financial matters are never easy to handle. They’re almost always tougher than relationship issues, actually. One particular problem is quickly turning out to be just as heartbreaking as a bad divorce, but you can keep it from escalating to that level. This doesn’t mean you have to get directly involved, if you’re not already, just that you need to pull the strings a little if you want to keep things manageable.

Focus on your inner balance this morning, even if it’s just for a little while. Journaling, yoga, or meditation can put you in a great space for the energy that’s coming later in the day.

You’d like to say what’s on your mind, but your partner might be in a delicate mood. If you have something that must be expressed, think about how you’d like to hear it if you were feeling fragile.

There are benefits, it turns out, to being financially compromised. This is about the only time you’ll ever feel privileged to be deprived. Being in the financial state you’re in wasn’t exactly your ambition, but you certainly know enough to make the most of a bad thing.
