Feelings of unease may haunt you throughout the day today, leaving you feeling unsettled and generally disconcerted. You may not be entirely comfortable in social situations because the energy projected by others will likely interfere with your thoughts and feelings. Consequently, this can be a good time to withdraw from the world so that you can pursue a course of self-examination in the privacy of some quiet, peaceful spot. Should you question whether your family and friends will find your absence dismaying today, consider that they likely understand that the time you spend in seclusion is vital to your continued wellbeing.

We need not feel distressed by the fluctuations in feeling that cause us to seek out solitude when we understand that the quality and potency of our love for friends and family will wax and wane over time. Just as our loved ones understand when we need them close to us, so too will they understand when we need to be by ourselves to reconnect with our innermost thoughts and feelings. The simple knowledge that we will soon by done enjoying solitude's embrace and will emerge refreshed from seclusion sustains the people who care about us during our absence. And while we will no doubt miss these special individuals as we focus chiefly on our own concerns, we look forward to seeing them again soon. Any feelings of uneasiness we experience as we distance ourselves from family and friends will fade away today when we remind ourselves that our isolation will be temporary.
