This is one of those days when you need to treat just about everyone you encounter with kid gloves. If you take care when dealing with others, you will reap huge rewards — either in terms of good will, or in terms of gratitude. There are many fragile egos around you today and they are attached to some people who have powerful ties. So making friends and making people happy should be your number one goal. You won’t regret expending the extra effort it requires.

Friends should share secrets, dreams, and dinners, but you’re probably better off not sharing dates. It always works out fine in the movies, but in real life it will probably just make things unnecessarily complicated.

Give up the need to control and you might find that your relationship takes a much smoother course. The only trick is to pry that grip of yours off the steering wheel. One finger at a time ought to do it.

There are a few legal issues you have to sort out before starting any new projects. If you handle them right, they won’t break the bank. But if you don’t address them in a timely manner, there won’t be any point in taking on anything new anyway.
