Trying to do everything alone? That's not independence, that's stubbornness. This week proves that success grows faster when people pull together. Friends, contacts and collaborators open doors that brute force never could. Meanwhile, career ambitions begin to move after frustrating delays. Recognition arrives for the effort you've invested. Let people see what you're capable of. If you've been waiting for a green light, consider this week your official permission slip!

This month, don't let a strong desire to keep the peace or maintain balance in an area of your world trick you into believing everything is fine. You could dodge awkward conversations and make compromises that chip away at what you need. The strongest relationships aren't built on keeping everybody happy. They're built on mutual respect, straight talk and two people pulling their weight. Don't underestimate how upsetting an apple cart or two can help you achieve this.
