Someone you thought you’d never see again could pop back on the scene today, although probably not in person. They could send you an e-mail, appear in a search result, or just pass you by on the street. There won’t be direct contact, but there will still be a chance to learn something from the encounter. It’s time to let go of past grudges, suspicions, or hard feelings and realize that life is too short to get caught up in petty games.

Deflect inquiries about your love life for the time being. Interactions are emotionally charged at the moment, especially those involving family members. Issues of romance are particularly upsetting right now, so back off. You can talk about it another time.

One or both of you could fly off the handle. Every relationship has rough edges, and yours is no exception. Don’t run off at the first sign of trouble, and your partner won’t either.

They don’t call reality harsh for nothing. Some people around you are in deep denial while others may be overreacting. The middle ground isn’t any firmer, but it’s your safest place to be.
