This year you often make extraordinary efforts to reach out to others who are withdrawn. Someone could open up at the most unexpected time, and you might wish he or she never had. If you are single, finding the right match can happen, but you often end up in fights with those who are not right for you. If you are attached, the two of you need to learn to express your needs and desires with less judgment.
