Put your leadership skills to work now

OVERVIEW: Put plans or power plays into motion as there is enough support to counter any opposition.

Pull resources from where you can and unlock frozen assets, etc.

Those with natural leadership qualities will sway others to come on side or at least agree to work together somehow.

Stubborn ones take a longer waitand-see approach for now.

Independent action brings new challenges that are exhilarating; avoid risks. Sudden travel is likely.

Mars enters the sign of Pisces stirring emotions to a more intense level. Check for calm or solid footing where you can find it.

Mercury turns retrograde causing reversals, stalls or confusion. Drive careful. Relax.

ARIES: You pull rank in unexpected ways. Tap those who were with you before as they are available.

TAURUS: Put your natural, stubborn strength to good use. Hold out for position or location you want.

GEMINI: Independent actions have support behind the scenes even though its not obvious to others.

CANCER: Issues with relationships have an effect on status. Manoeuvre from a position of strength.

LEO: You have luck in most areas. Others speak well of you and are helpful with work or home stuff.

VIRGO: Your strong words or actions can turn things around or put them on the right track. Hang in.

LIBRA: Standoffs cause relationship changes. Put it on the back burner for now. Check your security.

SCORPIO: Step forward in a more visible way. Others want to hear what you have to say. Stand firm.

SAGITTARIUS: Your strength of character is noticed. Others are willing to stand with you or join in.

CAPRICORN: Others feel more secure with you in charge or at least representing them some how.

AQUARIUS: You have some control over results or what will happen to others. Research or dig deep.

PISCES: Check who or what you are working with before making behind the scenes deals. Get facts.
