Both parties may be right, but being equally unreasonable makes them both wrong. Bridge the gap with a compromise.
Watch it with the gruff remarks while the Sun's conjunct Mercury retrograde. You may not mean anything by them, but an offhand comment is all it takes to gum up the works.
An outspoken friend expresses what everyone feels, but don't leave this person hanging. Show that you're on their side.
Are you being just as inflexible as a loved one? Find ways to reopen the lines of communication. Standoffs get you nowhere fast. Just ask Congress.

Don't factor yourself out of the equation. Coordinating efforts means giving as much weight to your concerns as you do to others'.
Don't let the gatekeepers at work derail you. Push to get in to see the right people and you'll find a receptive audience.
