You’re entering a very contemplative time in your life, so be open to your moods and follow them. Any urge you have to turn your thoughts inward might distance you from your friends a little bit, but if you keep the lines of communication open, you can get the space you need without making anyone worry or feel shut out. Feel free to ignore the external world for a while, and focus your energy on getting centered in your own mind. Take all the time you need.

If you have to convince yourself that this person is ‘the one,’ you’re trying too hard. Don’t allow desperation to force you into a situation you’re not entirely comfortable with. Better to be alone than to feel obligated to couple with someone you’re not that into.

Sweetie’s words and deeds aren’t quite matching up today, but you’ll be able to reconcile them without making things worse. In fact, you may want to keep quiet about it for the time being.

You’re cooking up something amazing, and it’s not the books, either. Your culinary skills are all above board. This concoction takes every bit of your effort and stamina to see to completion, but you’re not one to leave the kitchen because of a little bit of heat. Use your apron to wipe your brow and keep on stirring.
