Opt for a subtler approach to your issues today. Going overboard could get you into all kinds of hot water. Today’s momentum is making it seem all the more urgent to get the show on the road. This could mean you’re preparing to make some demands, but think twice about that. You know how authority figures react to ultimatums, right? And it’s not usually all that well, is it?

Sentimentality is really where it’s at for you. So on your next date, go old school. Here’s a tough one: shun technology altogether (and mean it). No PDAs, no iPods, no phones, no texting — nothing. Go out for malts and hold hands. They’ll find your old-fashioned ways totally charming.

Although you and your partner might argue over a phantom issue, there’s no need to dig too deeply. You’re chafed at what you see as an intrusion, and only time will heal it.

The details can drive you crazy if you let them, so don’t let them. Rushing through them won’t help matters, either. Just stay calm, sharpen your pencil and stay focused.
