People might say they need you right now, but do they really? Can’t they make do without you just this once? Find out. Because you can’t possibly respond to every issue that erupts, and right now you need to put yourself first. There’s nothing wrong with taking care of your own issues and then seeing how you can add something to the lives of others. Too many people think they can snap their fingers and you’ll come running. Show them that’s simply not the case.

Your ability to deal with bad people and startling change is sure to be tested today. Get ready for the unexpected by tucking away a few backup plans in your mind. Don’t panic when your ideas go astray.

You’re a master of the lighthearted quip, but every now and then you like to talk about something more profound. Share something about your past, your family, or your feelings with your partner. You’ll surprise yourself.

You have no problem admitting you’re shallow. If you sigh just thinking about the days you could afford to do something for yourself, don’t waste another minute. Come up with cheap forms of self nurturing instead.
