Right now, you should feel free to trust your instincts about a new person who’s arrived on the social scene. After all, they hardly ever steer you wrong. Just be careful not to react to what they tell you, at least not right away. Before you jump to any conclusions about this person, wait until you get someone from outside your circle to confirm your hunch. And don’t be surprised if what they have to tell you is contrary to your gut. Being off base is rare for you, but it does happen.

Find a quiet space to ask yourself what’s really underlying your choices lately. Did you turn down that last date request just because you were nervous? Be as honest as you can and you should make good decisions.

One of you is being awfully stubborn about a certain issue in this partnership, and it’s clogging up the works. It’s time to lose the attitudes and get back to your freewheeling selves.

You want to turn every slight disagreement into a contest, but being antagonistic won’t get you anywhere. Try to find common ground with anyone you deal with, especially if money is involved. As long as it doesn’t put you into bankruptcy, then a compromise is in order.
