A longing for validation may come over you today, leading you to approach your loved ones with the express intent of attaining their reassurance. Though your need for acknowledgment may be the result of unrelated feelings of insecurity, others may react to your neediness by emotionally retreating from your relationships. If you truly feel that your friendships and family bonds may be in jeopardy, consider speaking to your loved ones about your concerns. Otherwise, you may be able to attract the affection and intimacy you desire by focusing on nurturing your relationships rather than seeking reassurance. You may discover today that your needs are met gradually, one by one, as the bonds you share with others grow ever stronger.

You will derive a greater degree of fulfillment from your relationships when you focus on reaching a deeper level of intimacy organically rather than attempting to quickly attain emotional validation. True validation comes from within and it is the confidence we project that attracts our soul mates to us. As you relax and let closeness develop naturally, you'll find that your needs are met and your loved ones consider you a deeply caring individual. You won't endeavor to fill your emotional gaps by pressuring the people you care about to show you a degree of love they are not yet ready to express. As you discover each others' value as people, your relationship will grow to meet your needs. As you concentrate on strengthening your relationships today, you will attain the closeness you so ardently desire.
