As far as you’re concerned, freedom and privacy are pretty much the same thing and absolutely necessary for your peace of mind. Put off returning phone calls and emails or following up on social obligations. Not only will these tasks make you cranky, but you also won’t be able to devote your full attention to them. Right now you want to make the boundaries of your personal territory very clear, and woe to anyone who enters without an invitation.

A little knowledge can be a dangerous thing. A pal of yours has been on a journey of self-discovery, and now they can’t stop analyzing the love lives of all those who surround them, including you! Tell them kindly to step back.

Ask your partner for patience and space because other things are your priority right now. They’ll appreciate the gesture and give you everything you need.

It’s not easy for you to share what little you have left, and that makes this a rather rough day for you. But even though it’s hard, resist the impulse to keep all of your resources to yourself. Sharing is still the best way to get ahead.
