How do you react if someone says 'I have good news and bad news'? Most people prefer to get the bad news out of the way. But, then, when they discover it's not as bad as they braced themselves for, the good news sounds even more welcome! This week, you could prime yourself unfairly for the arrival of information you believe won't have you punching the air with joy. But if you keep looking beyond it, you will find a very real and tangible reason to be optimistic.

A challenge or obstacle that arises this week could encourage you to look to a loved one or someone close for support. But don't be surprised if they tell you they're otherwise preoccupied. That doesn't mean they don't care. However, it does mean you might need to fend for yourself briefly until they can assist you. But don't underestimate the progress you can make until their shoulder is available to lean on!
