Your famous sense of fairness and equality is stronger than ever today, and it could cause you to speak up despite your discomfort. Who cares if you draw attention to yourself? Everyone else in the room needs to hear what you’re saying. You know what is right, and you shouldn’t let arbitrary politics or outdated rules of etiquette keep you from crying foul when someone goes out of bounds.

Get up to date on the news of the day, the hot-button political issues, the latest must-read books and posts. When you meet someone new, engage them on an intellectual level and see if they wow you.

Pry yourself out of a fit of shyness that might leave your lover confused. Get in touch with your inner funkiness. Dig up some old soul music and shake it, baby.

Just because something isn’t easy doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do it anyway. Consider your financial commitments to be just like sticking to an exercise routine or a diet — no pain, no gain.
