As Mercury enters Libra, it’s time to channel your inner diplomat in your 1:1s, especially if the scales are imbalanced in your most significant relationships. Over the coming weeks, wield your charm and your powers of persuasion to advocate for your most heartfelt needs. And if your communication strategies could use a makeover, enlist the support of a therapist or a word-savvy friend to rehearse important conversations. The more you practice pivoting between multiple perspectives, angles, and counterpoints, the more nimbly you’ll strike a compromise that benefits everyone involved.
