Even though you pride yourself on independence and your resourcefulness, it’s okay to accept the support and help of friends or family now and then. Don’t decline the offer and deprive them of the joy of helping someone. It’s a win-win for everyone.
There are times when it’s right to stand your ground and others when the right thing to do is compromise, especially when it involves a friend. The last thing you want to do is lose an ally over something that isn’t all that important in the grand scheme of things.
The stars want to warn you that your ability to resist temptation will be a bit weak today, so just be aware of it. You might find yourself dealing with some sweet talkers, but a master manipulator such as yourself should recognize when you’re being purposely titillated or played.
Someone may spill quite a sob story to you today but be careful how much you get involved in that person’s life. Be cautious about sharing too much about yourself too soon. It’s still too early to understand what this person’s motivations are.
Your focus today should be on doing what’s best for everyone’s interests, including your own, but without trying to compete for a bigger slice of the pie for yourself. Don’t worry if you have to take a lesser share; you’ll make up for your sacrifice down the road.
How are your finances? The stars suggest checking in on your monetary situation and giving it a good analysis to project for the future. You may discover you have some wiggle room to pursue some plans or ambitions you’ve held back on thus far.
As much as you want to step in and help someone resolve a problem, at a certain point, the struggle is a life lesson they need to learn for themselves. Sometimes it’s more helpful to allow people to put out their own fires.
If your intuition is propelling you to step in a new direction today, the stars say you shouldn’t be fearful of following that feeling. Be cautious but not so skeptical as to shoot down any opportunities or possibilities. Trust your gut feelings.
The weekend is still a few days away, but it’s not too early to find out what your friends are up to. You may discover one of them has some pretty exciting things going on, and they even ask you to be a part of it.
Stick to your guns today, even at the risk of ticking a person or two off, because you know better how things need to go. There are times to compromise, but this isn’t one of those times. In the end, the results will prove your plan was the right one.
Before you barrel ahead with any plans today, no matter how excited you may be, remember that you still have a lot up in the air right now. Make sure you’re not overextending yourself or your pocketbook. Curb your enthusiasm and proceed slowly.
You’ve been sacrificing your needs and priorities this week for others, but there comes a point when you have to get back to your normal life and start dealing with your own stuff. Get whatever you’re doing for others wrapped up today, and plan to focus on your agenda tomorrow.
