*The Friendly Game Continues*

At a practical level, using your abilities to further your purposes is well-emphasized and favored, up to the time the moon goes void-of-course in the middle of Wednesday (depending on your time zone). Systems are "go" for careful, well-thought-out moves until then. You care about your standing, reputation, career: what people think of you. The best way to further that is in a non-nonsense way. Dramatization is not necessary directly--but may happen indirectly since the moon in Leo.

Emotional matters, both before and after that, are something else, with a likelihood of facing glum moods and glum thoughts about someone who does not seem able or likely to respond to you in the way you wish. There is probably misunderstanding on both sides. You cannot rely on this person to help you with or understand your practical business or career decisions. Therefore you need to make those on your own and try to be patient with whatever reactions you get from anyone. Perhaps you have postponed something beyond the point where it makes any sense to continue with it in its once-planned form. This might look and feel like stagnation. Still you can continue with other things which make sense in your immediate context.

Dropping people or ignoring them for a long time could be an issue. Whether getting back with them right now is wise or not depends on the practicality of the question. If being with them would be sensible in a practical way, it is probably good. Otherwise you could be wasting your time. A friendly comment and then convenient temporary separation might be best. In other words, there are limits at this time to any dependent sort of connection with anyone and so it is better not to expect much in that regard.

Deeper wisdom has a way of curing worries about how much you are liked or appreciated.

Shared pleasures are favored. This could be at your place, with yourself being the host or hostess, or at someone else's home, or in a public place which serves as a temporary home. You would like to be hospitable, and will find others feeling the same way. Such a situation can help soothe feelings and separations mentioned above.

Games, or thinking of things as games, is possible in a constructive way. Perhaps a conversation is game-like, or you and someone sharpen wits together. Using your wits to solve money problems is possible, up to the void-of-course period. You make one move, the "opponent" or fellow-player makes a move, you make another and so on. Both can win, that is, there is more than one game; but also losing can be winning if something less tangible (but perhaps more important) than direct victory is gained in the process.
