The problems of other people don’t interest you too much right now, and even juicy gossip doesn’t thrill you the way it used to. Right now you’re much more self-involved, which is quite a switch for you. You’ve been putting the needs and wishes of other people before your own for too long, and today your mind wants to find a balance. Don’t you deserve to be a bit selfish once in a while? You don’t have to ignore a friend’s call, but you can feel free to let it go to voicemail.

Romance could be on your mind early in the day. Maybe you’re returning a flirtatious e-mail or basking in some admiration. But later, it’s time to be all business, or as close to it as you can manage.

You’ve made a commitment to eating right and you want to stick with it, but your partner is growing tired of hearing about your proposed regimen. Get with the program or stop pontificating altogether.

If anyone deserves a bigger piece of the pie, it’s you. Or so the situation looks from where you sit. Don’t let your frustration fester. Doing as little as possible to set things right will only hurt you while lining the pockets of others. Speaking up is well worth the money.
