Yes, you're brilliant. No, you won't outshine others, because you need them on your side. However beautifully you might express yourself, your brilliance would be so much less without their backup. They're probably thinking similar thoughts about you, too. Never mind who's better than whom. Just show absolute mutual respect today. Willing partners can make themselves very useful to each other, without ever breathing a word about sacrifice or dignity. Look totally cool and unified to outsiders. That'll be the real upside to this arrangement.

Things at work could start feeling a little messy today, or maybe the sticky situations are occurring at home, or with friends. In some area of your life, your ambitions are causing tension. Maybe it's the way you're trying to communicate your ideas. At the moment, it's hard to avoid saying things you'll regret. Keep your passions under control and draw on your ability to be nice to everyone.

You might have to work a little harder than usual to bring people together and enchant them with your vision -- but only because the cause is so worth it. The stakes are higher, which means your investment is greater. Still, you're embracing the brother- and sisterhood of humanity, and you know you can pull this off. You just can't do it by yourself. If you try a method that doesn't work, don't worry. Just try a different approach. After all, this is just a trial period.
