Everyone goes through phases in which they feel powerless, and you might be going through one now. But what you feel simply isn’t true. You have the power to change whatever it is you don’t like. All you have to do is communicate! This is one of those rare days when your efforts and actions can make all the difference, so you’d better be prepared to step up and state your case once you get your face time with the powers that be.

Some especially unromantic duties have your name written all over them today, and you’re also called upon for assistance. Think of it as shoring up your foundation and building up your karma.

A comment you meant as a joke may be taken seriously by your loved one. Try to gauge their reaction. If they seem confused or upset, explain your intentions.

You’re happy and content on a shoestring, but that doesn’t mean you will be forever. Start thinking ahead. If you want your old age to be secure, the time to start planning for it is now.
