Your struggle with family issues could make you moody today. Although at first it might seem that your reactions to the emotions of the people closest to you may have to do with their interactions with you, it could also be that you may have to look at how much your feelings have to do with your reactions to them. Maybe this could be a good time for you to examine the boundaries that you have set with your loved ones –perhaps because of your closeness you have allowed them to enter too thoroughly into your private affairs, for example. Taking time to reflect on the level of intimacy that you wish to grant your loved ones could be a good way for you to reset your limits today and do what is healthy for you -- you may find that this could make you feel less uneasy about other people's problems.

Establishing our priorities and boundaries in our personal relationships is a wonderful means to help us deal with our loved ones' issues in a compassionate and nurturing way. Because of the closeness of such relationships, it is all too easy for us to allow other people's emotional fluctuations or shared history to impact us. When we create parameters with our own wellbeing in mind, however, we are concerned firstly with our own emotional health, and, by becoming healthier, will be much more able to cope with others' problems with greater equanimity. By setting boundaries for yourself, you will do what is best for your emotional health today.
