today was one of those days when basically all or my horoscopes were way dead on Holding your ground is worth it, no matter how difficult it seems. Not only will your self-confidence grow, but you'll gain someone else's respect too. Remind yourself of what's at stake and your grip will get stronger. Figuratively sticking a toe in the water is a wise way to get familiar with a new concept, person or place, but make sure you don't dive in just because the temperature feels right. There is a lot at stake here, and you need to make sure you know how deep this water is -- and if there are any sharks swimming around! Be thorough in any evaluations you make today, from checking the temperature of your microwave entree, to assessing a new coworker, to test-driving a new car. If only this person would call, you'd jump. It's a good thing he or she isn't calling then. You have better things to do than go through some mental calisthenics for someone who can't get back to you in a timely way. If something about that certain someone is giving you pause -- whether it's their feeling on a topic that's important to you or just an offhand remark on their profile page -- be sure not to ignore it.
