Learning a new skill or enrolling in some new training sets you apart from the competition. Diplomacy is needed in the workplace, where you may feel enemies around you. Take time for leisure with friends and family. Injuries and accidents can be avoided by careful commuting. Take a break from your worries and enjoy some creative or spiritual pursuits. This transitional phase of the month is full of excitement as you explore new options for yourself. What seemed impossible before now suddenly seems plausible. Make good use of this new energy. Today's a good day to handle difficult tasks and conquer those tasks you've been avoiding. Let yourself soar.
