When you may most want to withdraw into your own world, people and the workplace might be tempting you to be your most brave and inventive. This isn't being trapped between a rock and a hard place. Rather, it's a great opportunity to expand your people skills while not neglecting any of your own deepest needs. August cooperates with you, bringing offers of pleasant company and sincere favors with no strings attached. Be health conscious and practical in January. Be sharp and at your most effective in March. Charm, diplomacy, and respect are your best friends this year - oh yes, and love!
