August 23-Sep 22 | Ruling Planet: Mercury
People may not want to hear it, but the simple truth is that everyone sinks or swims together. Tell them to stop pointing fingers and to pull an oar.
Avoid taking on the tone of victim. This will only undermine your position. Stand tall and people will look up to you.
Don't worry about keeping up with a rival. Just step out of the way. This person is doing a bang-up job of getting on everyone's nerves.
Don't ignore family matters that are taking place on your spouse's side of the fence. Just because he turns a blind eye to it doesn't mean you should too.
A work situation isn't unsalvageable as you think, but you may have to countenance some unflattering truths. It's a small price to pay for getting things back on track.
Mercury retrograde after squaring Saturn and opposing Jupiter is like a troublesome gear shift. Slow down until you know what's what.
Every time you want to discuss a problem, a loved one trundles out past grievances. Ask her to focus on the here-and-now and not things that happened years ago.
Don't bring matters to a hasty conclusion. Just because you haven't the patience, doesn't mean others do. A premature ending could cost.
Expect to deal with the personal side of a professional matter. Technically it's none of your business, but your human touch is needed now.
Your sensitivity to nuances allows you to negotiate successfully. Your painstaking attention to details always wins out in the end.
