Prepare to sign on the figurative dotted line today, because now is the right time to advance a project, commit to a sale, or begin a new relationship. You have to stop pondering and start committing or your opportunities will fly away from you. They’re tired of waiting for you. Even if you feel you’re taking a risk, what if you are? Life calls for risks, especially if you want to make progress. Today, face the fact that you create your own reality.

Before you totally lose yourself this time, ask how well this person actually fits with you. You don’t need to break it off. Just give them a trial period to prove they’re all that.

Things may not go as planned today, so allow plenty of time to make substitute arrangements. Be extra patient with your partner. They may not roll with the punches as easily as you do.

Times are tough and getting tougher. But if you place your career above your family, you may end up with neither. Keep your life and the dollar’s place in it in perspective.
