You are fussier about how you're perceived in public than you let on. While most of the world knows you to be somewhere between hard-boiled and crispy fried, you and your astrologer know that you're about as sensitive as they get. Therefore, keep a close eye on your public image, and take steps in advance to make the presentation you want. This counts for the somewhat tense work front, and your of-late itchy and scratchy social life. Get some opinions before you send anything out to an audience. If you send a resume, make sure it's actually up to date. Accept only the social invitations you want the most. Wear your best clothes. The world may feel like a stuffed box at the moment, but I assure you that there's ideas, opportunity and love in them thar hills.
