Uncomfortable Comforts

Holiday Mathis on

Just because someone is uncomfortable with a particular comfort, that doesn't make it wrong. Two lunar squares and a conjunction recall the concept of "different folks; different strokes."

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It's natural to be bothered by what you don't understand, but you don't stop at that. You let discomfort compel you to learn more. You'll have your bafflement to thank for the interesting people and knowledge you gain.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The pace will pick up and you'll match it without missing a beat. You would think that with this much going on, life would turn into a blur. The opposite happens. Experience becomes more vivid and memorable at this exhilarated pace.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). A stressy situation has your attention. All it takes to relieve the pressure is one adjustment. You can either adjust the circumstances to better fit your preferences, or you can adjust your expectations to better fit the circumstances.
