Your ability to change people's minds may be heightened today, and your first impulse will likely be to use this skill to convince people you care about to see the world as you do. However, persuading others to take up a cause or to support a viewpoint without considering their needs will likely prove to be less satisfying than you imagined. Making the most of your powers of persuasion today will likely involve little more than gently and respectfully sharing your beliefs and values with the people around you in the hope that they will see the light. But if they do not, you can still take pride in the knowledge that you have introduced them to certain truths.

Our powers of persuasion, when used admirably and fairly, can be a wonderful tool that helps us show others that there are many unique ways of navigating life's rigors. Though we may be tempted to goad others into adopting our point of view, changing someone's mind in this way represents little more than an empty victory. It is when we make use of our expressiveness and eloquence to share our values with others that we are best able to help them see how they might benefit from adopting these as their own. Since those in the receiving end of our counsels do not feel pressured by our approach, they are far more apt to give careful consideration to what we have said. Today your ability to convince others of certain truths will lie in the unobtrusiveness of your methods.
