You’ve been banging away at an issue for a while now, and today you could start to see signs that your perseverance will pay off handsomely. Get ready for things to kick into high gear. It’s almost as if you’ve reached the top of the mountain and can let gravity take over from here! The pace of your day is going to be easier, and you’ll have some free time to play around with very soon. Call up your favorite friend and plan something soon.

Virtue is its own reward, yes — but lately you’ve been gritting your teeth and being virtuous when you know that it’s your darling’s turn to step up to the plate. Say something, for goodness sake! Don’t be a martyr.
