Okay, enough of the wallflower stuff. It’s time to take matters into your own hands when it comes to your career. You can’t always be holding space of others, making sure they get to come along for the ride as well. There are times when you need to put yourself out there and take credit for the work that you have done and the work you will be doing. This is one of those times and if anyone is trying to horn in on your success, do not suffer fools. Put them in their place and tell them nicely that they should not mess with you.

I recently went to a press screening of “Tyson” a documentary on the troubled fighter by film maker, James Toback. Tyson comes across as brutally honest and extremely sensitive. It’s pretty clear that he was a creation, a Frankenstein of fists and fury that made money for lots of people, but all he ever wanted was to be loved and respected. Mike Tyson is a Cancer and there is something very resonant about his story for you right now, especially as it relates to your career. You don’t have to pummel the competition, but you do have to stand up for yourself.

Mercury retrograde portends a time when you will get back in touch with dreams, both figurative and literal and get much closer to what is meaningful for you, beyond your career. So be prepared to do some inner work as well as outer, especially as it relates to your hopes and aspirations of the future. Let the energy of your opposite Capricorn, colored by Pluto push you more towards being your authentic self than ever before.
