After working hard for so long, you deserve a little leisure time. Enjoy but don't overdo it, especially financially. Spend money wisely, on worthwhile investments such as repairs or renovations. Make time for a spouse or significant other. Share your creativity with family. You're subdue and reserved today. Now's the time for hidden meetings, secret activities, even an undisclosed love affair. In this more introspective period, you might be more sensitive about health, work and daily routine. Silence is golden. Silence is productive. Silence is love.

Doing things by yourself is admirable—when it works. But if you wind up wasting a day, or a gallon of paint, attempting something that could easily be outsourced, well, that’s not so impressive. Today, as Mercury in your zone of familiar faces teams up with Mars and Saturn, a helpful person could step up and offer an unsolicited assist. Swallow that useless pride and accept. Adopt the Buddhist concept of "beginner’s mind" and listen to what they have to say. You might learn volumes!
