You're bound to be aware of how you carry everyone this week, but let's address the awkward bit: Do you secretly love the control it gives you? If you want less pressure, delegate. Agree on who handles what, hand over a real responsibility and resist hovering. Someone else's method doesn't have to match yours to work. The New Moon marks the start of a process likely to culminate around the Full Moon in April. Getting into the habit of sharing workloads is a must.

During October, you're urged to take a hard look at what you give in relationships: your time, money, trust and energy. If you've been handing over too much to placate someone, it may be time to admit it. Have an awkward conversation, listen to someone's answer and give yourself room to change your mind. Then check what you need and what you can afford to give – or keep giving. You're not selfish to expect more in return than you've been receiving lately.
