Jigsaw puzzle, Puzzle pieces, Crossword

A jigsaw puzzle asks you to find order in a pile of scattered pieces, slowly and patiently. It tends to appear when you're trying to understand something complicated: a person's behavior, a decision or the shape of your own plans. Pieces clicking into place give you the pleasure of clarity arriving bit by bit. Sorting them by color or by edge shows a methodical mood, as if you're tackling a problem in sensible steps. Doing a puzzle with someone means you're figuring something out together.

• A missing puzzle pieceYou're close to understanding something but lack one detail. Ask the one thing you've been afraid to ask.
• Pieces that won't fitYou're forcing an answer that isn't right. Step back and look at the whole picture again.
• A puzzle with no picture on the boxYou're working on something without a clear goal in sight. Start with the edges: the few things you know for sure.
• Solving a crosswordYou enjoy mental challenges and could use more of them. Pick up something that makes you think.
