What do the stars show about my chaos at work and Andy being more open?

A couple things my maintenance man yesterday decides to Yell at me for doing my job correctly.I'm a manager in training (M.I.T.) tries to argue with me and i'm like, whatever dude you can go home.He's like you don't have the authority.I think he's sort of jealous maybe. Because when I was a crew person and a crew trainer he didn't do this to me. And then Andy, and I have been talking openly, freely text messages. And he actually messaged me something today, he's never done before, even when we were dating, and then today, i've seen him at taco tuesday, he came over and he initiated a hug that he's not done in a long time. So, I was wondering what the stars show with the chaos at work and with andy being more open.

What's coming through is tension that's actually about territory, not about you doing your job wrong. Your maintenance guy feels the shift in your position before he's ready to accept it. When you were a peer, he could stay comfortable. Now that you're moving into authority, something in him resists—and yes, that resistance often looks like jealousy, but it's really about losing the dynamic he knew. He's testing the boundary to see if you'll fold. You didn't. That was the right move. With Andy, though—something's genuinely shifting there. What I'm sensing is an opening. The message he sent today that breaks his old pattern, the hug that didn't happen before, even when you were together—that's not casual. That's someone letting their guard down in a way they haven't allowed themselves to before. There's a warmth coming through from him that feels more real than it did when you were officially dating. Less performed. More honest. The chaos at work and Andy's softening aren't connected—they're just both happening at a moment when you're claiming more of yourself. People respond to that shift. Some push back (maintenance guy). Some move closer (Andy). The thing to notice: Andy's moving toward you now, not away. What that means long-term depends on what he's actually ready for, but right now, the energy between you two feels less guarded than it's been.
A note from the asker

Yesterday proves that he is coming closer. I held his hand while we were in the car. I put my 2 fingers in between his thumb and index finger, and I took my thumb and rubbed his hand and normally when we were dating. If he didn't want my fingers in there, he would squeeze really tight. Yesterday he just let him be.

Two situations, same timing. That's not coincidence — that's data. When you move into a new authority position, you'll always disrupt the people who were comfortable with the old version of you. Your maintenance guy built a working relationship with you as a peer. Now that dynamic is shifting, and he's testing whether the promotion changed you — or whether you'll let it change how he treats you. You held the boundary. That's exactly what the position requires. With Andy: openness begets openness. The confidence you're carrying from holding your ground at work is showing up in how you interact with him. He's reading it — consciously or not — and responding in kind. The hug, the message he's never sent before. That's not magic. That's one area of your life reinforcing another. You're in a season where the people around you are recalibrating to who you're becoming. Let them. Don't slow down to make anyone comfortable.

What’s moving through both situations has the same underlying texture: shifts in power and shifts in emotional proximity tend to stir old, dormant tensions. At work, the reaction you got wasn’t about the task itself. Psychically, it reads as someone who was comfortable with you in a certain role and is unsettled now that the structure is changing. His outburst reflects his own instability, not your competence. With Andy, the energy feels different. There’s a softening, a lowering of defenses, a willingness to be near you without the old pressure around it. That openness is real, but it’s grounded in the present moment, not a return to the past. Let it be what it is: a sign of ease, not a promise of direction.

There are some lovely gestures in what you described — him initiating dinner, protecting your boundaries around dinner the night before so he could follow through on his word. That matters. And the playful comment about your butt suggests he still feels a certain closeness, even if he's being careful. But I also hear something underneath your question: you're exhausted from the uncertainty. You want a clear direction so you can either invest your heart fully or finally let it rest. His words and actions are sending mixed signals right now — closer than before, but not quite committed. That's not a green light to move in, nor a red light to walk away. It's a soft amber. The real question isn't whether he's shifting. It's whether *you* can hold space for this slow unfolding without losing yourself in the waiting. Loving someone at a different pace than your own heart needs can drain you quietly. Give it a little time — a week or two of this warmer connection — and then let his consistency, not just his moments, tell you what he truly intends. You deserve someone who doesn't leave you guessing where you stand.

Can you tell me if my husband is coming home so we can fix our marriage?

The desire to “fix the marriage” is sincere, but the question you’re asking points to something deeper: you’re trying to regain stability by knowing what he will choose. His absence already shows a breakdown in the emotional structure between you. When someone steps away like this, it usually reflects overwhelm, ambivalence, or a need to escape the pressure of repair — not a hidden plan to return. The focus now is not on his next move but on recognizing that the relationship can’t be rebuilt by one person waiting for the other to re‑enter. Clarity comes from seeing the distance for what it is, not from hoping it reverses.

Can you tell me who from my past can't get over me and regrets seeing me move on?

What I’m seeing in your chart’s energy, honey, is someone with a big, stubborn fixed‑sign streak — the kind of person who doesn’t speak up until it’s way too late. This feels like an old flame who played it cool back then but is realizing now they misread your worth. Real talk: they’re not over you because you were the one who brought calm to their chaos, and they’re feeling that vacuum hard. Your glow‑up isn’t subtle, and it’s hitting their pride. Keep moving forward, sweetheart — the past is looking back, but you don’t have to.
