A parent or teacher may be going through a stressful time. You may feel ignored or blamed. Try to offer comfort and support. At the same time, see to your own health and well being. Continue your hard work and you will soon be rewarded. You are in need for friends' assistance. Seek out individuals offering mutual understanding and trust. They will augment your talents and hence your effectiveness in work. Rivals will also be on your side. Spend time with others and listen to what they have to say.

Have you been tiptoeing around a delicate matter, unsure how best to approach it? Although that’s very diplomatic of you, that approach may get you nowhere fast. Today, as expressive Mercury trines forthright Mars (in Gemini), you may decide to put an end to all this self-censoring. Think about what you want to say—and the outcome you desire—then trust yourself to find the perfect words to communicate it. Just remember to employ tact and compassion, and you won’t miss.
