Tent

Tents, Pitching a tent, Teepee

A tent is a home you can roll up and carry, pitched for a night and gone in the morning. That makes it a natural image for a temporary situation: a short stay, a trial period or a phase you know won't last. Feeling snug inside while the wind tugs at the walls shows you can find comfort in an unsettled time. A big tent full of people, at a wedding or a festival, turns the dream toward celebration and togetherness. A tent in an unexpected place, like the middle of a city, may show you're making do somewhere that doesn't quite fit.

• Sharing a small tentYou're in close quarters with someone, whether at home or on the job. A bit of humor and a clear sense of space will help.
• A tent blown awayA temporary arrangement has ended sooner than planned. Gather what you need and look for firmer ground.
