Use skillful means today to deal with power struggles about shared property, taxes, inheritances, debt or jointly held items. Don't be pushy, and don't let anyone else push you around either. Get the bottom-line facts with courteous intent.

This is the classic day for squabbles with parents, bosses and authority figures (probably about power and control). One party might try to manipulate the other. Ask yourself if your quarrel is something worth fighting about. Is it?

When it comes to your job, your pet or your health, you might feel out of control, which is why you might act compulsively because you feel you must "do" something. Take a step back and give things some breathing room. Take a beat to reassess. (The lead dog always has the clearest view.)

Don't get hung up on power struggles with romantic partners today. Likewise, parents must be careful not to get sucked into power struggles with their kids. After all, you're the adult. Look at the facts of the situation, not who is calling the shots.

Discussions with family members might be tense or pushy today. Home repairs and chaos at home might lead you to believe that something has to be done in a certain way. Lighten up! Don't make a big deal about anything. Let go of your need for control.

Today you have strong opinions, which is why you might feel compelled to do something a certain way or stick to a particular idea. Hey, we all know that the rigid tree is the first to snap in a storm; the pliant tree bends and survives.

Although you're an excellent debater, you don't like conflict. You want harmony in your environment. (At least matching towels.) Be kind to yourself and avoid arguments about money and possessions today, especially as they relate to sports, socializing and kids. Stay cool.

Today Mercury is in your sign at odds with your ruler Pluto. Keep an open mind and resist becoming obsessed with one idea. Don't force your point of view on others. You can use today's energy by studying something or being introspective. Perhaps aspire to "know thyself."

Your ability to research something or look for hidden information is excellent today because your mind is focused, almost driven. If you need the truth about something, you will leave no stone unturned. You'll be like a dog with a bone. Persistence and tenacity!

You look great to others because the Sun is casting you in a flattering spotlight. Travel appeals to you. But today you might find yourself at odds with a friend or member of a group, especially someone younger. Don't take the bait. Be gracious. Listen to someone.

There will be little benefit in arguing with parents, bosses or authority figures today (including the police), which is why it might be wise to avoid doing so. Do not trifle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

This is the classic day to get on your soapbox with your opinions about religion, politics, different countries, different cultures - you name it. Don't do this. Listen to what others have to say with respect. Don't get involved.
