I offer a ton of advice on a wide variety of relationship issues via this site, through my Millionaire’s Club and over brunches to my friends. While the issues are all different and I tailor all of my advice to each couple, the truth is, the advice can normally be boiled down to two big things – communication and compromise. I’m basically always saying “more” to communication and compromise. While I don’t think there can be too much communication in a relationship, there actually can be too much compromise. Here’s how to tell if there’s too much in yours. Read more
ARIES.
(March 20 - April 19):
A caustic remark cuts you to the quick, but resist the urge to respond in kind because it's not worth it. Lowering yourself to this person's level only diminishes you.
TAURUS.
(April 20 - May 20):
You're surprised to learn that someone you gave up on never gave up on you. Make plans to get together. You'll be glad you did.
GEMINI.
(May 21 - June 20):
Friends accuse you of playing with your variables, but you know better than to accept things as fait accompli. Keep your options open.

You don't like last minute changes, but let this one come in under the wire because it benefits you enormously.
LEO.
(July 22 - Aug. 22):
You thought you were above a certain type of work but no one's above anything in today's economy. Don't worry. Indentured servitude doesn't last forever.
VIRGO.
(Aug. 23 - Sept. 22):
You hate to leave anything half finished but if you want to maintain your excellent standards then you'll have to let something go.
LIBRA.
(Sept. 23 - Oct. 22):
Your decision may be sudden, but working out its consequences will take considerably longer. Don't let that dampen your resolve.

A last minute cancellation or change of plans throws you for a loop. Think fast because this could work to your advantage.

Practice living in the here-and-now. It's not as easy as it sounds - especially for someone who's keenly aware that the clock is ticking.
AQUARIUS.

Cut out of work early today if you can. Embattled colleagues won't come to their senses anytime soon and you could use a breather.

Not only can you yield on a hotly contested point, but weeks from now you'll barely remember what all of the fuss was about.

(June 21 - July 21):
You still have a ways to go before locking in support but the pledges you collect today can be used to hook bigger fish.
LEO.
(July 22 - Aug. 22):
Good luck buoying a loved one's sagging spirits. There's a difference between down-in-the-dumps and bottomless pit. You might want to shine a flashlight to see how far the drop is.

You can't act decisively without upsetting people in the process. But the sooner you do what's necessary, the sooner they'll get over it.

This past weekend, I was getting drinks with my girlfriend and her new guy. It was the first time I was meeting this guy and he showed up 45 minutes late to meet us. While we were waiting, she said that this wasn’t a big deal at all. He’s always late. When he finally showed up, he was nice enough. But, I texted her immediately after leaving drinks and told her that she had to dump him now. She was shocked at my reaction and the next day, we actually had a long phone call about it. Here’s what I told her Read more
