Standing up for yourself today is not only going to be essential, it will also be lots of fun! Few things are as rewarding as telling someone who thinks they know how you should run your life to take a long walk off a short pier. When you say your piece, expect some applause to erupt from the peanut gallery. People have been eager for someone to take a stand, and they’ll be so glad it’s you! You’re a born leader, and people are ready to follow you today.

You’re not in the mood to suffer fools gladly. Are you ever? If your date says something silly or thoughtless, remember that your fuse is a little shorter than usual before you reply.

Take a step – even a small one – outside of the usual routine for the two of you, and your relationship will follow. Something as minor as a starlit stroll can lead to interesting places, conversational and otherwise.

Life is a series of challenges, right when you think you deserve a rest. You have what it takes to meet them head-on even if you doubt that fact. Focus all of your energy on work.
