Focus on what’s good for everyone as well as what you want. Set a good example by showing a friendly face in the crowd and lending a helping hand. A great attitude makes your day better and sets a good example, too.

Use careful judgement when dealing with anyone who is camouflagi­ng their true feelings. Sometimes enthusiasm can make the difference between making a positive impression and receiving a lukewarm reception.

Extremes aren’t the best basis for setting policy. Do any prep that is needed to avert disaster but don’t assume the worst. Plan for success and trust your ability to handle problems when and if they arise.

You recognize good sense when you hear it, so a partner or friend may end up favorably influencin­g key decisions and personal plans. Don’t let interperso­nal politics or policies get in the way of doing your tasks well.

If you prepare yourself for the challenge you can make headway if you are called to perform at a high level. By listening to someone’s advice you could make clever personal choices, or smart financial moves.

If you’re making yourself vague promises thinking it’s all a dress rehearsal, it’s not. No one can grow your wings for you, you have to do that for yourself. If you’re not 100% living up to your potential, consider how to begin.

People shovel shame onto others to try to avoid carrying it themselves. You don’t need to take it personally or let it undermine your confidence. The cure for both is self-work.

Consider going ahead with a creative venture even if you must do it alone; not everyone has a crew that is generous with support. If you need to go it alone for a while, you can. Unless a purchase makes good sense, don’t buy it.

Don’t be afraid to reveal the depth and extent of your soul’s passions to the right people. But first, be sure that is what they are. Be discerning about who you open up to and you won’t need to trivialize yourself.

The staying power to achieve success can be just getting up off the floor one more time. Embrace opportunit­ies and pour yourself into your work or tasks. Remain confident and don’t let anyone put doubts in your mind.

You might want to be a team player, but that doesn’t mean you can’t demonstrat­e individual competitiv­e skills. Throw the full force of your personalit­y behind any ambitious undertakin­g that could lead to success.

Every person and every relationsh­ip comes with baggage, but you could be beginning to feel like you’re stuck in a cargo hold. If you start digging, you’ll may see that it’s the emotional equivalent of missed opportunit­ies.

For the next week or two you may make new contacts and even lasting friends who can assist you in achieving your goals. You may be sensitive to your environmen­t during the next four to five weeks so you can adjust your habits to attain better health and peace of mind.
