This is a difficult week for pledges and allegiances as Venus comes under fire from both Mars and Saturn. Usually her conjunction to Mars is a good thing but Venus is in fall in Virgo which means you may have sided with the wrong party in a dispute or backed someone without full knowledge of the facts. You could find yourself at the center of controversy as you’re called upon to defend a questionable friend, stand up for an unpopular colleague, or face ostracism based on guilt by association. You can always backpedal if you want or bend the knee. One apology is all it takes. But it looks like your dander is up. You don’t want anyone telling you who to socialize with much less what kind of company to keep. Even if the person you’re fighting for isn’t worth it, the cause certainly is.
