There’s a community to be found with humans who aren’t exactly like you, so don’t be afraid to seek them out!

Instead of trying to do it all yourself, consider joining a local event to gain hands-on experience. Others will probably love your enthusiasm for the activity!

Regardless, don’t force yourself to be more social than you want to be!

November 22 – December 21

December 22 – January 19
You might be connecting with family members you haven’t seen in a while. These may be biological ties or friends who are practically family.

Regardless, watch what you say, because the way that you communicate will affect the outcome by encouraging or dissuading people from being in your corner.
