Give nostalgia some room
A creative project or a romance from the past may knock on your door today. Feel it fully before you decide whether to open it. Your instincts are strong right now, but nostalgia can blur the line between what was and what could be. Deeper conversations about trust and closeness may feel easier tonight.
✦ Honour the past, but choose what you truly need now.
