An amiable, accommodating attitude can put you in a cooperative mood today. You may find yourself in a situation where your needs conflict with the needs of the group or where you are called upon to act as arbiter for individuals with contradictory desires. Since you will likely be more attracted to win-win solutions than to other outcomes, your stance in the negotiations may be one of willing compromise. You may be able to grasp multiple perspectives and see the relative merit in each. If you have difficult drafting a solution where everyone's main needs are met, you may need to ask yourself where you or those you are negotiating for can trim your demands. Today may be the day that you and a former rival enter into a peaceable collaboration.

Communicating cooperatively allows you to speak frankly about your own needs while taking the needs of the individuals around you into account. Often, our deliberations are marred by our tendency to think only of the ends we wish to achieve without considering how those ends will affect others or whether their goals correspond with our own. Cooperative communication is universally beneficial as the wants of the group are the focus of all involved. In engaging with others in this way, you'll be able to implement solutions that everyone can appreciate and meet the varied desires of the people with whom you have been chosen to collaborate. When you approach conflict in the spirit of compromise today, you will assign everyone's needs equal weight.
