i'm never missed when I slip away.

Although the days keep getting busier and busier, you are becoming more adept at blocking out the excess noise. The choice is yours; you can also walk away instead of engaging in all the commotion. Make use of the time you gain by relaxing in a quiet space. Meditating or daydreaming can help you recharge your batteries today. If you're lucky, you might not even be missed when you slip away for your little escape.

sometimes my horoscope feels like a therapy session

The Moon forms an uncomfortable semisquare with your key planet Venus today, tying your feelings up in knots.

I mean really angry, and what doesn't help is that the Chicago Tribune reports the tournout as "underwhelming", the Daily Northwestern calls it "disappointing", the Sun-Times didn't call it anything; and all in stories that are like fourth or fifth in the order of importance on their sites. I had to search for the effing things to even find them.
