August 23-Sep 22 | Ruling Planet: Mercury
You're more on the ball than you give yourself credit for, but the only way you'll convince yourself of that is by stepping up to the plate.
Don't be so quick to tie things up in a nice neat package. There's a reason why a loose end is a loose end. Leave it dangling.
A partnership hits a rough spot. You want more consistency while the other person wants more flexibility. Both viewpoints are valid so you'll work it out.
The facts are on your side, but that's not what's going to sell people on what you have to say. The secret to success lies in the bold way that you present them.
You can still back out if you want to, but what looks like an expensive step will pay for itself weeks from now.
Have you gone "soft"? With Mercury in Pisces for the next 2 1/2 weeks it's possible. But it's a good idea to keep people guessing anyway.
It's OK to praise another's rebellious streak, but don't forget about your own. The reason you're so taken with this person is because you recognize a kindred spirit.
A sibling (or in-law) feels bad about asking for help - hence their curt tone. Be accepting and you'll get a full-bodied show of appreciation later in the week.
Someone says you must choose but actually you don't have to. Put the ball back in their court and an ultimatum gets downgraded to a suggestion.
Guilt-tripping someone into doing what you want may give you the upper hand, but you'll never know what this person's truly capable of as long as you maintain that advantage.
