You might feel a list of obligations is growing in size, but the To Do list you're working to is one that needs to be taken seriously. As much as you might wish you could be somewhere else doing more of what inspires your heart and mind, this is a time to keep your nose to the grindstone and focus on meeting others' expectations. You might resent having to do as you're told or fulfill what feels uninspiring. If you can keep a smile on your face while doing it, then you'll get through the other side with ease.
Your independent or rebellious side could reveal itself and in no uncertain terms at this time. Maybe you don't mind being asked to do something, but it will be important to you that you're asked in the right way. It's also possible you'll focus strongly on your needs for a change. If anyone sees this as selfish, then perhaps they've grown a bit too accustomed to you placating them constantly.
Children and animals respond particularly well to sugar-coated words. In truth, we're all more receptive to something asked of us if it's done sweetly. If we sense a 'quid pro quo' arrangement is on offer, or we're encouraged to do something for someone willing to offer something appealing in return, then it's easier for discussions to result in something both sides are happy with. This week, something you want or need can be yours provided you ask for it in the right way. Apply some charm but also be prepared to reciprocate someone's support or gesture.
