Key to Success this Week: Leadership and Action

Action and effort are highlighted this week under ambitious Mars and mindful Mercury influences. Showing leadership skills and a mature attitude helps you win friends and influence people.

This week is also blessed by a waxing Moon, which inspires growth, expansion and progress. If you’ve been hoping to get a project off the ground or gain momentum on a long-term professional commitment, now’s the time.

This Moon-Mercury-Mars link highlights the importance of translating ideas into action. Slow and steady wins the career race now, so be prepared to pay your dues. Taking the initiative pays off as your boss appreciates the foresight it shows. Professional passions are fired up under Mars’ influence, making this a great week to reach for your career dreams.

Saturn is in the spotlight too, and highlights the importance of reliability in the workplace. If you make a professional promise, honor it. Be realistic before you commit, though, figure out how much time is really required. The old adage “under promise and over deliver” applies now.

Saturn highlights the importance of teamwork and partnership this week. Share your ideas. Compromise is key to harmony, so boldly focus on inclusiveness. Showing you’re a team player let’s others know that you’re prepared to support the group.

Saturn is also about time, so if you have outgrown your current role, be mature and let the appropriate people know of your intentions. Preparing for transition helps everyone adapt faster, and shows that you’re confident enough to be honest.
