What does a partnership actually add to your life? What does it cost you in every sense? Where does it thrive, and where are you making excuses? This week, those questions could form the basis of a conversation you've been skirting around. Practical issues matter, but so do the feelings neither of you has mentioned. Dig beneath the polite surface this week. Don't settle for a relationship that only 'works' when nobody discusses what's actually wrong with it.

Sensing it's up to you to motivate someone or others could test your patience this month. Just do your best to keep irritation and frustration at bay, okay? Career opportunities, travel, learning or a big project could be welcome distractions, and an old creative idea could beg for another shot. But your mission is to stop pushing people who won't commit. Find collaborators who give a damn and show up. One enthusiastic collaborator beats someone yawning on the sidelines.
