SCORPIO & SCORPIO RISING

Watch out for spiciness in your collaborations right now. Anywhere you’ve merged resources with another — be it with a mate, a muse, or a money manager — irritation could be brewing. Flickers of frustration are in the ether, and their spark is unpredictable. To avoid unproductive battles, practice strategic restraint. You don’t have to immediately respond to your partner’s quips or your mentor’s criticism. Getting the final word in isn’t always necessary. Prioritize your tranquility first.
