You may find yourself confronting an authority figure today. This could be a good thing if you are friends as well because a clear understanding may be what is needed to push for positive results concerning a whole group.

This could be a wise move as you may sometimes lose sight of the bigger picture. Do be careful, however, in whom you confide. Travel, education and other ways to stretch your horizons are available now.
