Sometimes it's the history you share with someone that gets you through the rough patches more than compassion or having the answer. The past few months haven't been easy as you did what you could to be supportive of a loved one or close friend. This person faced some steep challenges and subsequently drew heavily on your patience and stores of goodwill. There were times when you wanted to throw in the towel, but you didn't. That's because you knew they'd eventually pull themselves out of their downward spiral, and thanks to the Mars/Saturn trine on February 9th, it looks like they finally will.
