You have some excellent social and career connections, but you can’t rely on them too much right now. It’s much wiser to pursue your current goals by yourself. Not only will it help you strengthen your own skills, but it will help show these folks that you don’t always need them for everything, and that will improve your stature in their eyes. It’s time for you to flesh out your reputation as a mover and shaker. Looking like a follower isn’t good for you now.

You may have some personal things going on at the moment, but don’t bury your head in the sand. The situation will work out. Meanwhile, making an effort to connect with others will help.

You may need to postpone something you’ve been looking forward to. It’s normal to feel disappointed, but the situation will ultimately work out to be better for your relationship.

The time of year brings out the best and the worst in those around you. But you’re far from a neutral observer. When it comes to spending money, you weigh in on one side or the other.
