You may have a strong need for companionship and interpersonal interactions today. Since you likely feel drawn to others, you may find yourself striking up conversations with strangers or expressing yourself more candidly with your loved ones. You may be able to build a bond of friendship or cement a bond of love simply by baring your soul to your acquaintances and the individuals you care about. If you're willing to speak openly about your desire for intimacy and to truthfully share your feelings, others will sense your honesty, integrity, inner strength, and kindness. People will likely react warmly to your confidences and respond by opening up to you.
