Don’t worry. Decide what type of relationship you want, and your decisions will be grounded. If you’re attached, you and your partner enjoy each other, though you might spark a fight or two. Don’t stand on ceremony. Sometimes, you might be gruffer than you realize. Be indulgent of your significant other. SAGITTARIUS often helps you decide your priorities.
