You may be uncertain about decision-making or lack your usual confidence. Wait for the air to clear and hear what others advise or have to say. Take stock of what's happening in emotional life and make new decisions.
An unusual or eccentric female may feature in proceedings. You will have to navigate from there, keeping in balance professional and personal concerns or attachments. Family members may need attention just as work or responsibility makes a high demand. You may have to deal with extremes or exaggeration. You may find it hard to understand what others want.
