Born Today?

Your Year of the Open Hand. Something you have been gripping for a long time releases this year, and the release feels less like loss than like finally setting down a bag you forgot you were carrying. A friendship deepens in April because you stop performing the version of yourself you thought it required. By midsummer, a space opens in your week where the old need used to live, and what moves into that space is quieter and steadier and yours in a way the old thing never quite was. Work finds a new rhythm when you stop angling yourself toward approval you have already outgrown. You belong to the people who see you clearly, and this year you let that be enough. The open hand receives more than the clenched one ever could.
