Self-sacrifice is like very strong medicine: Used in the right dosage, under the right circumstances, it can be a very, very powerful healer. But in the wrong dosage, and the wrong situation, it can be deadly. Think about this and how it might relate to you. Are you practicing smart self-sacrifice? Are you not quite sure? It wouldn’t hurt to call in a professional or at least a trusted friend who can give you another perspective.

Instead of analyzing every possible alliance, remember how much fun it was to make out in high school with the possibility of getting caught. Throw caution to the wind, stop being your overly conservative self, and recapture the whimsy of youth.

It’s not a good day to sign any long-term arrangements, so see if you can put off any joint purchases or other such deals with your partner. They should understand, and things will pick up soon.

If you’ve learned nothing else lately, you should have learned to be more cautious. Don’t get involved with anything you are unsure of, whether it’s an emotional or financial investment.
