When we take the time to ask questions and listen, we find that every person has a fascinating story to tell and an utterly unique perspective from which to tell it.

Bearing this in mind, we have the opportunity to approach the world around us in a new way. There is never any reason to be bored at a party, or on the bus, or in a conversation with a stranger. When we retain the spark of curiosity and the warmth required to open someone up, we always have in front of us the makings of a great story. All we have to do is ask.

today's horoscope...

Bound by Intimacy
Aries Daily Horoscope

Today you may feel open to shifting the nature of your relationships. Perhaps there is an individual in your personal life that you feel like getting closer to or someone you would like to forge a work-related partnership with. Today is a good day to express what you are feeling to the people around you. Others may also approach you with a desire to forge closer bonds. Going with any inclination you may have to be more open or vulnerable could result in more intimacy. Being vulnerable and allowing others to see who you really are can give you a wonderful sense of freedom.

Openly expressing our thoughts and feelings helps us form closer bonds with others. When we share what is on our minds and in our hearts with another person, we establish an atmosphere of trust. In response to our sincerity and vulnerability, the other person feels comfortable opening themselves up to us. This exchange of thoughts and expression of emotions can become a genuine bond. By allowing ourselves to give and receive in this way, we can experience a profound sense of freedom. We are free to truly be ourselves and let others be their authentic selves when they are with us. Be honest, open, and vulnerable in your conversations with those you wish to be closer to today, and you will form or strengthen your personal bonds.
