You’re like a mother bear today, ready to pounce on anyone who says a bad word about one of your friends! Your boundless energy is manifesting itself in an interesting way. You aren’t usually combative, but why play nice when the bullies don’t get the message unless you yell it at them? The time for being sweet and collaborative is over, for a little while, anyway. Today, if you want to make things happen, you’re going to have to demand that they happen. Asking nicely just won’t cut it.

You’re about to enter a period of personal growth and evolution, so be prepared for some emotional upheaval. The results will make it all worth it, though.

The true test of a couple is seeing how they argue. When the two of you have to tussle, you both fight fair. What’s more important, you’re willing to learn from the confrontation and from each other.

The situation you’re in calls for more diplomacy than you think you can muster. Being polite is more important than ever, even though you have much less to lose than you used to. Walk on eggshells if you must.
