You're being responsible and mature by doing everything you are supposed to in an effort to be a great friend to others. However, it still isn't enough for some. The people who demand 100% of your attention and affection aren't giving you the grace to focus on other vital areas or acquaintances that aren't them. Let them know that you care, but that they aren't the main character starring in your story—that’s you.

In the meantime, enjoy their presence before making any permanent decisions. You’ll figure out what you want once you meditate on your emotions.

Don't get too caught up in the drama people are dealing with. The reason you're interfering in the matter is that you are trying to help your friends or family members find a way to deter them from arguing. Pretty soon you'll come to comprehend that they must squash their issues without your feedback, because the back-and-forth chatter isn't resolving anything—and the interference is having a negative impact on you, so walk away.

January 20 - February 18
Unfortunately, one of your friends is being shady and discussing your relationship with everyone except you, which isn't helping the rift between you. Confronting them may seem like the logical approach, but it won't make a dent in getting through to them. They might deny and deflect because they don't want to escalate the situation. It'll take a hot minute to repair the quarrel. When in doubt, remember, the darkest hour is just before dawn.

January is a great time to reflect on and celebrate your successes and achievements. If your confidence is waffling from high to low, take out your trophies that show your former glories to boost and own your fabulousness. Give yourself a round of applause and a standing ovation—you deserve it!
