Don't take a loved one for granted. Take this opportunity to express your gratitude for their emotional support and practical assistance. A gift will go over well. Pick something that reflects your friend's style. If you're not sure what to choose, enlist the aid of a perceptive Scorpio. It may be necessary to enforce a strict rule. At times like these, it's more important to be effective than popular. Turn a deaf ear to complaints. Your job is to get the best results for the largest amount of people.
