The friendships in your life are becoming more and more important as a source of your healthy self-esteem, and that’s a very good thing. You are loved by your friends, and they are people who accept you for the imperfect but wonderful person you are. Make it a priority to connect with as many friends as you can. They should even take precedence over your partner or family right now. They’re the family you choose, and they would love more time with you.

If you decide to turn toward romance for now, to really put heart and soul into the search, you should find fresh passion and wonderful inspiration. Do something completely different to get it all started!

Today starts with you feeling out of sorts. Your partner can offer a sympathetic ear. They may not be able to make your mood go away, but they can offer you some support until it passes.

The details don’t exactly make the meal, but they play an important part. The finishing touches on what you are dishing up could use a bit of polishing. They aren’t mundane, either, especially given the fierce competition. Force yourself to go over every little detail.
