From leaderboards on TV dance shows, to sporting league tables, we enjoy categorising teams and people on a scale of winners and losers. So, what about the idea that it's 'the taking part that counts'? It's easy to say, but not so easy to live by - especially when we're not doing as well as we think we 'should'. Rather than jumping to conclusions about your current state of progress, give yourself a break today. The obstacle you face is challenging. But in dealing with it, you're learning skills that will take you to the top.

What are your natural gifts and talents? Where have you gained your most helpful life experience? You've acquired the skills to deal with problems that flummox other people. Although that doesn't mean you can justify sitting around while everyone else is stressed, it does mean that you don't need to lose your cool and join in the panic. As your ruler, Mercury perfects its conjunction to Venus (pleasure), don't respond to pressure today. By staying calm and collected, you'll spread a wave of confidence that's much appreciated.

There are reasons why so many of us have too much 'stuff'. Our difficulty in throwing things away stems from deep psychological factors including emotional attachments to objects that link us to memories about happy/sad times, and fear of needing something later and stock-piling 'just in case'. We hang onto old notes/letters/emails. Fortunately, we're better at getting rid of broken pieces of equipment - fridges are harder to form an attachment to! As your ruler links with Saturn, you can move on from a problem that's cluttering your life.

It's easy to underestimate what we know. We've all got access to a vast subconscious pool of knowledge which we don't always access with ease. But we also sometimes overestimate our grasp of familiar subjects. Which is why critical thinking is so important. And that's something you're good at. You might not think you've got all the information you need today. But you know enough to make a decision. If you stop doubting your ability to assess what's going on, and trust your instincts, your next move can be transformational.
