Your Daily Horoscope

If you flex your mental muscle by provoking other people, they regard it as a challenge and retaliate just as forcefully. When you and your adversary realize that you’re equals in your verbal sparring, stop the personal attacks and insults, otherwise you regret your actions. Avoid this kind of argument so you don’t end up causing needless hurt or bitterness.

Accept any setbacks that occur. The trust you place in people close to you is diminished, and consequently, you’re not in the mood to be as open with everybody as you usually are. More restraint in your activities is required. Take the time needed to discover exactly what is going on. A good idea, if you feel like some exercise, is to enjoy a short stroll.

Conversations are more challenging than usual, as others appear to like taking the opposite point of view to your own. Remember, compromise brings the only satisfactory outcome for both sides. If you prefer not to risk any lasting damage, you are well advised to let the other person win. You soon appreciate that, on balance, this way of behaving is more useful.
