Today, you should choose to appeal to people’s intellect, not their emotions. Instead of charming them or flirting with them to get them on your side, use a logical appeal. Talk to them about the facts and they’ll be able to have a deeper understanding of what you want and whether or not they can give it to you. This applies to every type of conversation you have today, from asking someone special out on a date to asking your boss for that raise you know you deserve.

It might seem as if the universe isn’t on your side when it comes to romance, but it could just be testing your mettle. Do something selfless as a way to get your energy back on track.

Today’s a good day to consider the financial future: yours, theirs, and yours as a couple. It doesn’t have to be a heavy conversation, but it’s something you need to think about.

Even you have your limits. Bills and accounts can wait until tomorrow. For today, focus on strictly emotional matters, from you own feelings to stories from others.
