Today you’ll be put into the position where you’ll need to tell someone some news that they won’t like hearing. But you have to remember that sometimes, helping others can be a thankless job. Deliver the news with a gentle touch, and keep what you say short, simple and straight to the point. They won’t shoot you as the messenger, but they might need your shoulder to cry on or your ear to hear them. Be generous with your time and honest with your support.

Communication’s crackling, so send out some definite signals. Don’t overlook the power of the nonverbal. A mundane conversation can have very significant undertones if you let it.

Reworking your budget is a great idea, especially if you and your partner have financial goals you’d like to meet soon. Remember to think in terms of both small and large results. It’s less intimidating that way.

People have no idea what your plans are but that doesn’t mean they should be able to distract you from them. Keep your cards to yourself if that suits you, but it falls on you to make conversations short and sweet.
