If it walks like a duck and it quacks like a duck, what else can it be? Just possibly, it could be a fiendishly clever piece of animatronics.

You are now going through a phase of doubt and uncertainty. You want to know how 'real' a promise is or an arrangement, perhaps even a relationship. The more you question it, the more you undermine it. Try trusting it instead.Astrologers have to be careful about giving good news. Readers tend to feel let down by promises on which there seems to be no delivery. Better to set expectations low, so that hopes are surpassed than to raise them too high and invite disappointment.

One difficult factor is now eating up so much of your concentration that you can hardly stop to think about anything else. But don't worry. You can deal with it.
