Chair

Chairs, Armchair, Rocking chair

A chair holds you up when you need a pause: a place to rest, wait your turn or settle into a task. Your dream chair often reflects how supported you feel and whether you're allowed to slow down. A comfortable chair that fits you is a good sign: the people and routines around you are holding you up well. A wobbly one suggests support that feels less reliable than it should. Pulling up a chair for someone else shows you're welcoming them into your life. If every chair was taken, you may be struggling to find a moment to sit down in a busy stretch.

• A chair that's too bigA new role feels larger than you right now. Sit up straight and give yourself a few weeks; it will start to fit.
