Need others to follow you, back you, support you, work with you? No problem. Today's inspirational Mercury-Neptune trine has you feeling  both sensitive and empathetic. You’re able to sense everyone’s mood, and them yours. This is a great time to do favors or ask for them.

The Water Signs of Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces should use this energy to encourage people to make a real difference. Apply your vivid imagination and creativity to help them come up with something that inspires. That could be anything from writing social media posts for an animal rescue to teaching kids to read.

And Fire Signs – Aries, Leo and Sagittarius – you have a deeply caring and compassionate side. But you don’t like to show it often. Bring it out today and share both your strength and your warmth.

If you’re an Earth Sign – Taurus, Virgo or Capricorn – you love a life of comfort and have a taste for the finer things. Hmm. The tools of persuasion come in many forms. Look at your audience and then ply them with luscious chocolates or yummy donuts.

Air Signs – Gemini, Libra and Aquarius – bring your idealism to the fore today. And also bring yourself down to earth. Your lofty ideas need a grounded voice. You have some truly liberating ideas to share, and a humble approach will make more people listen.

Peering ahead to Saturday, authority figures, if approached the right way, are unusually helpful on Saturday thanks to a Mercury-Pluto sextile.
