These days, the custom is to talk about what you’ve done, about what you’re happy with and aren’t and, equally, plan for the future. Everybody discusses their goals with others. However, be selective about who you talk to. Certain individuals have an ability to undermine the strongest convictions, but you don’t realize this. Learn when to stop. You will be glad you did.
Ignoring those who are unkind or rude is more powerful than confronting them
As an air sign, you benefit from the capacity to be amazingly logical. However, you are also sometimes subject to feeling something that is entirely illogical, and that is guilt. This is often the result of a conflict, a sense that you should be doing something other than what you’re currently doing—even if you are being entirely responsible or, quite simply, enjoying life for what it offers you.
So the issue isn’t what you are doing, but what your mind insists you should be doing, even if it’s not possible or realistic. That is what makes this complex issue tough to spot—you’re worrying so much about others, you don’t pause to think whether those feelings make sense. And that’s what is most important. While, it’s true, you are an air sign and therefore incredibly logical, there is a part of your nature, particularly when it comes to alliances with others—with loved ones, with family, and even with partners—where your loyalty to them overrides your logic. Most of all, you feel that if you can make them happy, then everything else will be great.
The lesson now is to recognize those commitments: the sense that you have to deal with your own guilt about others not being happy, and your responsibility to make them happy. In both cases, it is entirely up to them. For you, life’s joys are entirely up to you.
Building on the issue of guilt, here is what’s important for you to recognize: you don’t need to help those around you to be happy. Let them take care of themselves. Your job is to be true to yourself. The more real you are, the more authentic you are, the more passionate you are about life itself, the closer you will be to those who matter most.
There are certain individuals who are by nature excessive, and who plunge into things. For you, as an air sign, a balance is essential. If you are hanging out with somebody who overdoes it, the biggest gift you can give to yourself is to stop—even if they carry on. Tell them you’ll join them later, then take a deep breath and appreciate who you are.

It’s time for a frank discussion with somebody you’re close to. So close, you wouldn’t think this is necessary. The problem is, that closeness can mean you assume they agree about changes or new plans, when in fact, they don’t. Talk these through now. The longer you wait, the more complicated it will be.
