May 21-June 20 | Ruling Planet: Mercury
You need to buy time and thankfully today's Mars/Jupiter sextile provides that in the form of a rarely cited clause or a half-remembered rule.
Timing couldn't be worse for friends to call in favors. Do your best to meet them. It clears the in-box and provides a welcome diversion.
No sooner are you taken off the back burner then you'll be put back on it again. But now that you know what's going on, you won't mind it so much.
Tap dancing in and out of a situation consumes more energy than committing to it. You'll never know if this could work unless you stay put.
Blind alleys are all part of finding your way. They may seem pointless and meandering, but you can't map out a plan of action without exploring them.
The good news is you sold 'em! But now the question remains: can you deliver as promised? Start texting friends and calling in favors.
Nothing you say seems to work today. Either you show too much concern or not enough. This reflects others' shifting moods; not yours.
If you throw a hissy fit every time someone asks a favor then you've got a problem. Rethink the put-upon signals you're putting out.
A simple apology is all it takes to wash away the rancor and restore good feeling.
It's up to you to ask the question that no one's asking. People may feign shock and disbelief in the moment, but they'll thank you for your candor later.
