Put hard work and discipline behind a plan to garner good results. Others need to know there is a steady hand at the helm. There are stark realities to be faced. Clarify who is in command or if a change is needed. Don't take risks in personal relationships as a lot is at stake and the price is high. Be careful who you trust. Seek favours from those of wealth or power. Prepare papers or documents. Keep your dignity in all matters. Make advances in business. Compare notes to achieve goals. Regroup to win. Avoid substance abuse that would have a negative effect.
