Others may be confused by your enigmatic attitudes today because they are likely used to your projecting a far more open persona. You may be in a mysterious and private mood that inspires you to evade direct questions and to express only those thoughts and feelings that give little of your true motives away. Yet while you may derive a great deal of satisfaction from your ability to keep others in the dark today, you may soon find that your peers and loved ones cease trying to maintain the intimacy that once existed between you. If you feel you must close yourself off from others, you can avoid alienation by explaining your intentions before anyone is hurt by them.

There will inevitably be times in our lives during which we feel a strong need to protect our privacy. Though we may not have any specific confidential information we are trying to protect, we may nonetheless feel that it is our right to hold back whatever personal thoughts and feelings we do not wish to share. However, before we close ourselves off from potentially positive interpersonal experiences, we should consider the effect our evasiveness will have on our relationships. It may happen that others will interpret our choice to keep certain information to ourselves as standoffishness or disinterest. If we have reason to believe that our reticence will weaken the bonds we have forged with others, we should consider opening up to some extent. Thinking carefully before acting enigmatically today will help you make wise decisions at work and at home.
