There might be a bit of a power play going on early in the day. How you approach it will greatly influence the rest of your day, so give solid thought to whether or not you want to fight for what you believe in. It’s a good time to take control, but taking control will increase the stress level of the day. And keep in mind that you can still influence the way things go without being the big boss. Working from the outside can be effective.

You’re almost but not quite ready to go out with someone out of sheer pity. Still, since you know they’re not right for you, avoid the temptation to give them even one mercy date.

It’s time for you and your partner to get organized! Organize your sock drawer, spice rack, travel plans, living room, whatever. You’ll be glad you did.

Right brain, left brain — are you putting two and two together? You’ve managed to connect a few important dots already. If you can connect others, you’ll begin to see the picture. But brace yourself. It’s not pretty.
