A loss may be on your mind right now, causing you distress. You may find yourself searching for spiritual answers. Communicate your worries with others, close companions especially. Avoid risky ventures. Take time to get outside and be somewhere quiet and peaceful with your thoughts. Today you feel both hesitant to speak for fear of causing offensive and yet drawn to communication with loved ones. When visiting and connecting, choose your words carefully.

Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.
