You may feel insightful and observant today as you interact with people in your home and at your workplace. Though you may find yourself in strained or uncomfortable situations, you will likely quickly ascertain the best way to make others feel at ease. Your heightened awareness can help you relate to a wide variety of people, even when they appear to be determined to thwart your efforts at developing a mutual understanding. If you encounter individuals who seem guarded today, allowing yourself a few moments of thought before engaging with them can help you discover why they have built a barrier around themselves. Your willingness to try to understand the emotional needs of your loved ones, colleagues, and peers can warm their hearts and make developing a rapport an easier matter.

We can ensure that our relationships with the people we interact with in our personal and professional lives are always honest and open when we endeavor to break down the barriers that divide us from one another. Our insecurities and our fears create chasms that establish themselves between our souls, preventing us from truly understanding others. As we bridge these barriers by creating an atmosphere of trust in which all feel free to expose their vulnerabilities, we ensure that our peers and loved ones can always speak freely and that we never feel ashamed to reveal our feelings. As we breach each other's defenses, the connections we share are solidified. Your awareness of the walls others erect within themselves will help you understand their individual emotional needs today.
