This week, you might become increasingly aware of the difference between the words 'compromise' and 'sacrifice.' It could be increasingly obvious to you during the coming days that you must give something up but are likely to be aware of what you will receive for doing so. Try this week to be integral to reaching an agreement that's fair to everyone concerned. You might also need to be prepared to have one or two counterproposals up your sleeve to offer somebody who believes they've come up with an ideal scenario for both of you. The more helpful you are in terms of being flexible, accommodating, and willing to listen, the more likely it is you will find someone else does the same.

There's always something understandable or seemingly justifiable about adopting a 'once bitten, twice shy' attitude. We're naturally cautious toward challenges or opportunities because of unpleasant experiences with something similar previously. Back in April, Pluto, 12 years into a 15-year visit to Capricorn, appeared to move backward. This has probably contributed to feeling 'stuck' or that effort invested has, more often than not, been more of a waste of time than helpful. This month, the planet of transformation awakens from its 5-month slumber. It's time to adopt a fresh, positive attitude toward what you've grown tired of or deflated by recently. One small attitude shift really can bring spectacular results.
