For now, concentrate on working with the major changes that are slowly yet methodically unfolding around you.

You’re stressed by today’s conflict between your desire for adventure and your need for perfection. You’re tempted to sacrifice quality in order to squeeze more activity into your day, but you may regret this kind of foolish behavior later on.

However, caution is advised, because there may be a price to pay for keeping your real feelings secret. It may be wiser to just be honest from the beginning because unexpressed negativity can often turn into resentment if it doesn’t have an outlet.
