Seek harmony and balance where possible. This will aid progress in more than one area. Reach across boundaries or international borders for compromise. Calm emotional tension with reason. Saving face is a project for some and they pursue it like a dog with a bone. The planet Mercury turns retrograde Tuesday, upsetting apple carts or throwing things in reverse for a few weeks. It's time to clear, sell, correct, or rebuild. Avoid signing binding contracts. Organize practical plans. Social/romantic activity steps up by the weekend. Spend quality time together. Dine out.
