Jan 20-Feb 18 | Ruling Planet: Uranus
What's happening now has been months in the making. Although you feel for what an associate is going through, you can't fight other people's battles for them.
You discover the fatal flaw in a time-honored formula for success. It won't be easy convincing others that this is irreparable so start with those you know will listen.
Just when you find a way around a showdown, an opponent blocks it. So much for being non-confrontational. You've no choice but to engage.
You step into a new role at work, but don't treat this as a continuation of what came before. It's your chance to recast things.
You're right to make yourself scarce. It allows a temperamental type to compose himself so that the tone is more affable when you meet again.
People who feel burned out are usually the last ones to realize it. If colleagues are hinting about you taking a vacation, then you should seriously consider it.
Your frustration stems from sticking to the old game plan. It's time to improvise on what's tried and true. Even formulas for success need to be updated once in a while.
You have a role to play and must focus on that. Put personal feelings aside and be as objective as possible.
Airing self-criticisms isn't a good idea now. If anything, keep them under wraps. You don't want to give rivals ammunition.
Support you were counting on falls through, but don't worry. Facing a crisis alone proves you have the gravitas to stare it down.
