Every now and then you use your talents to manipulate things to your favor. What’s the big deal? Everyone does it, especially in defense of someone or something that can’t defend itself, like now, for example. Think of it as the iron-fist-in-a-velvet-glove syndrome. You’ve been called on to slip your hand into a well-disguised glove. Do it guiltlessly because you know you’re doing it for the right reasons.

Stay open to changes in your schedule — they just might end up better than your original plans. So if a pal suggests skipping the movies to check out a new skating rink or art gallery, for example, roll with the punches!

Head outside with your loved one for a walk around the neighborhood. You won’t have to say a word. Just take some time to appreciate the small wonders all around you.

It’s more a day of unease than of upheaval, but it’s still not the best time to make financial decisions. Today the sky could be filled with clouds, and forecasting even one day ahead is impossible.
