Daily Horoscope: Cancer

A competitor won't give up. It's frustrating, but it also brings out your personal best. You must push like never before.

An associate's fear of confrontation mixes with your fear of rejection to create a silent standoff. Go ahead and put your cards on the table. It's not as bad as you think.

You may not know it, but you're more indispensable than you think. Keep this in mind when a boss tries to clip your wings.

It's important to paint on the broadest possible canvas. Sticking to one corner of the picture blinds you to a vast array of possibilities.

A financial proposition has so many holes you can see right through it. Yet it still has something going for it. You'll recognize it once you start filling in blanks.

Don't worry if a project or venture stalls. Another element is being added and you need to allow time for this new development to unfold.

An offstage complication doesn't involve you . . . yet. Keep a close eye on the situation as it develops.

Finances may be limited but your ingenuity isn't. Challenges bring out your best (and most spontaneous) thinking.

It's tempting to fire back, but don't. You want to break the cycle of recriminations. Set an example with your own self-restraint.
