You are feeling confident, ready to kick back and enjoy your recent successes. Your buoyant attitude charms those around you. Flirt, have fun and make some new friends. Luck is on your side right now. You feel put to the test, asked to deliver the impossible. Let go of ego and ask for help, from friend and foe alike. Keep your goal in sight and put your best foot forward. Soon you can expect rewards and recognition for your hard work. People may call for your assistance. Pets and dependents now also require extra attention.

Telling a sad story can grab people's hearts, but it can also leave them feeling awkward and obligated. Today's Mercury-Jupiter square warns against spinning a tale of woe to get people to do your bidding. (In other words: Don't be manipulative!) If you need support, ask for it directly. And be open to receiving it, however it’s offered. If you're the one being tapped for a helping hand, don't do it out of pity. For example, if someone wants a job recommendation but you're unsure whether they're qualified, it's okay to ask pointed questions. After all, this is YOUR reputation on the line.
