Complications during travel may cause your plans to go awry. Make the best of the situation and enjoy food, shows, or concerts with friends and family. The health problems of someone close to you may be on your mind. Voice your concerns and listen to ideas offered. New relationships are in the works. Even old rivals are ready to befriend you. These connections are a positive outlet for your excitement and yield helpful alliances. Finances and deals will be made with the aid of those you enlist now. So spend time with friends or groups. Give people what they want. Be there to witness and listen.

Is it time to have "the talk" today? Stress has escalated in an important relationship, and you can't keep tiptoeing around the problem. With Mercury in your high-minded ninth house getting dinged by shrewd Pluto, you'll want to approach this like a grownup. Rather than let anyone push your buttons, be firm and unflinching with your boundaries. Take a cue from dog trainers and adopt the "calm-assertive" tone: It's been known to work with unruly humans! Instead of ping-ponging off each other's anxiety, you'll bring the drama down a notch or three.
