Tread water and avoid making a big splash. You could be swimming in a virtual fog. Others may not clearly understand your intentions, or you might not understand theirs. Hold off on making crucial decisions.

The burning desire for material success might outweigh the desire to please others. There might not be time for pleasantri­es. If you meet someone new it could be a case of the wrong person at the wrong time.

The smile doesn’t always reach the eyes. When you hear kind words but sense insincerit­y you could take offense. You might do better to work on your own, quietly behind the scenes, than to confront someone.

If you play with the bull, you could get the horn. Avoid being overly sensitive and short-tempered with others. Be magnanimou­s; try to see matters from the other party’s view.

Offer concession­s and bend the knee. Although you would like to make changes quickly or pursue new tactics, it is better to follow through on existing plans. It may be necessary to concede a point in someone’s favor.

Good things come to those who wait. Tightening the purse strings and waiting for better timing is a very good idea if a big purchase is looming on the horizon. Save your pennies to save your time and sanity.

When the surface is murky it is difficult to see what lies beneath. Conversati­ons can strengthen the bonds of affection if inaccuracy is avoided. You will need to read between the lines to find words of encouragem­ent. Keep moving forward. Avoid dis- tracting fantasies that draw your energies in conflictin­g directions. Nostalgic ideas may grow into an obsession that could impede your progress in achieving more realistic goals.

You can choose to be sensitive or sensible. Be organized rather than feeling like an outsider. You can be practical about real-world matters but remain diplomatic and thoughtful when dealing with people.

Conflicts can lead to confusion. You may be surprised by someone’s rebellious­ness. Someone in the family could give you a bum steer or attack a sacred cow. Hold off on signing important documents.

Worm your way into someone’s heart. The earliest birds get the best worms. If you haven’t been an early bird lately, it’s time to start being one. Develop good habits as they will pay off in the long run.

Weigh risk against reward. Big risks might bring big rewards or just rock your boat. A major change to your financial plan or budget that is implemente­d now could contain a downside that you may not enjoy. During the coming four to five weeks your social life might be popping as casual acquaintan­ces share their ideas and activities with you. You will be at a disadvanta­ge if you pursue business projects or investment­s in August and early September. Following a dream and being inspired by the most mundane occurrence­s may be the keynotes of late September and early October, when a vacation or weekend getaway could be enjoyable. In December and January maintain a low profile and work diligently to avoid criticism. Next February is the best time for making crucial financial decisions or major purchases.
