A friend or loved one could push your buttons the wrong way. Their ideas for change have an unsettling effect on your personal life. You will resist if you aren't happy with suggestions.

You get the chance to establish a warm rapport with your partner or someone who is equally as close. You understand those you care for with unexpected ease and vice versa.
