A CUP OF YOUR LOVE

You seem to know things intuitively and have some degree of psychic power. Your best communication is often nonverbal.

Few things bring you greater happiness than a successful, close, personal relationship. You have an innate understanding of the interconnectedness and interdependence of all forms of life. Empathy, compassion and emotional rapport can be your strongest virtues. However, not many people are ready to merge the way you are. Learn to recognize and respect other peoples' boundaries.
