Flattering someone in order to get what you want is a completely legitimate tactic, but if you rely on it too often with the same people, it’s going to start to backfire. If you need to ask someone a big favor or enter into a sensitive conversation today, don’t be overly obvious about just how smart, attractive, clever, witty, or whatever else you think they are. Just be blunt and up-front. It’s an unusual approach for you, but it’s one they will be very happy to see.

Though you might feel a romantic impulse today, something deep down is keeping you from following up. You need to trust your instincts — there’s a good reason to not say hello or hit send just yet!

You can be dropped into any type of situation and manage to make a new friend or two. Your lover marvels at your adaptability. Use those gifts to befriend someone who may not be quite as socially adept.

If you have nothing else good to say about your bank account, the at least it isn’t allowing you to get greedy or lazy. Staying on your toes is like putting you on a new fitness routine, and it’s free.
