Don't ignore the nagging sense that something at work needs attention.
The person who matters most needs to know they matter. Tell them.
About Cancer Full profile & history →
You remember birthdays, grudges, and the exact tone someone used in 2019. Cancer feels everything first and explains it later, usually in the kitchen.
In love
You don't date casually, you adopt people. That's a gift, but check the paperwork: not everyone you've taken in actually pays emotional rent.
At work
Teams hold together because of people like you. The quiet glue. Ask for the title that matches the work, because nobody hands it to the modest.
Body & energy
Your stomach keeps the minutes of every meeting your mouth smiled through. Eat like you matter and let one grudge go this month. Just one.
