You may feel thoughtful today and find that you are listening carefully to the words of others. This can help them feel more comfortable opening up to you and create a greater sense of intimacy in your relationships. Because of your thoughtful mood, you may also find that you have insightful advice for those who may be struggling with difficult circumstances, which could lead others to seek your counsel. While you may be able to offer helpful advice, you may also want to take care that you don't become too emotionally involved with the difficulties that are presented to you today. If you can detach from your emotional responses, you will be able to extend compassion and care without taking the problems of others onto your own shoulders.

We can better assist our friends and loved ones with compassionate support if we step back from our emotions and remain rational and detached from the struggles they are experiencing. While our desire to smooth the path for our loved ones is understandable, we cannot help them effectively if we become enmeshed in their struggles. By choosing to remain detached from our emotional responses, we can still extend our support and advice to others. With a calm, focused mind-set free that is free of emotional burdens, we are better able to offer logical insights, which will help our loved ones see their situation more clearly and resolve the issues productively. By keeping your thoughtfulness focused in a rational direction today, you will be able to help others while remaining centered yourself.
