Competition is weighing on you. You are ready to be alone with your thoughts. Take time to re-charge and resolve your current worries. Debts or recent expenditure may be causing you stress. Try meditation or dream journaling. Look for answers in quiet, contemplative spaces. Others are watching you today to see how you respond to challenging situations. Enjoy the positive attention you will glean from others but stay true to your own goals. You are primed for productivity. Remember <em>history belongs to those that set their own paths and follow their dreams.</em>

The straight talk you crave will be hard to come by today as messenger Mercury moves into a stressful square with shadowy Pluto in your third house of cognition and communication. Pay attention to body language, Sag. Maybe someone’s nervous stance will contradict their charming banter. But are they obfuscating or simply preoccupied? You won’t know for sure unless you observe and ask questions, so don’t assume. Controlling energy abounds now, which could fill your conversations with friction. Try not to cast blame or get defensive. It’s probably not them—OR you!
