Someone else may have the upper hand, but you also have something this person wants. Arrange for a favor exchange.
Showing that you still have a sense of humor won’t lessen the gravity of what you have to say. If anything it will help sell it.
Not everyone contributes equally. Rather than form judgments, accept that each gives according to their means. You’ll wind up with more.
Don’t hang back waiting for others to weigh in because that could take forever. Step up to the plate and take charge. Everyone will be much happier – most of all you.
Today’s Moon/Jupiter square brings a consolation prize. Admittedly it’s not what you were shooting for, but a closer look reveals that it’s not so bad.
Close on a deal even if you think you can get more. It’s better to have something in hand (and add to it) then it is to let a prize slip away.
