Daily Horoscope: Virgo

You need to break ties with someone who showed you the ropes. What used to be mentoring is now turning competitive.

You need to reassess matters. You may be so focused on a goal that you don't realize you may have already achieved much of what you set out to do.

Don't worry. You haven't lost confidence. It's the Mars/Neptune square that's making you feel enfeebled. The effect will pass in about 9 days.

Why do you have to cover for people who don't deserve it? Don't worry. Ne'er-do-wells will get what's coming to them in the next 2 weeks.

Work will be crazy for a while. Keep a low profile while colleagues hog the credit or try to escape the blame.

You were burned recently and feel used and abused. Nevertheless the best way to get past this is to lend a helping hand. It's what you do.

Don't pick apart what people bring to the table. You might frighten them or miss out on valuable treasures. Let them show off their wares.

Did it occur to you that family members just like to fight? Stop trying to broker a truce that nobody's interested in.

Adopt a neutral stance. There are so many mixed signals you can't tell who's responsible for the fiasco at work. It shakes out next week.

Damage control skills are put to the test, but if anyone can salvage a situation in the eleventh hour it's you. You may even come out ahead.
