Jobs you've been putting off are staring you in the face. Start thinking about how you might tackle them today. Anticipate completing these tasks soon and this will help keep you motivated. Refuse to let trivial matters get in the way. Don't look for happiness now. Settle for satisfaction.

It may be modest but additional progress will be made in terms of a recent breakthrough. At work, keep your head down and you will get on better that way. The time is not quite right for ambitious schemes or for sharing ideas. Confidentially is likely to play a part in your success.

You could use a change of scenery for reasons best known or best kept to yourself. Taking off for parts unknown will be refreshing. You need some space to get a fresh perspective on home affairs. Getting away can also help keep boredom at bay.

Your partner or best friend is being secretive and this confuses you. At least you will be honest about your feelings. Instigate a heart to heart chat and discuss your thoughts and expectations. They will be more willing to open up after hearing what you have to say. Home life will be rewarding later in the day.

Don't complain about the slow start to the day. There'll be plenty to keep you busy later on. Someone will promise you a job they want you to do is going to be easy. It will turn out to be the opposite. Still, you won't be beat and you will overcome stubborn problems.

A series of disturbances upsets your concentration. Progress is slow but keep at it. There will be something to show for your efforts eventually. Stay clear of doubtful community activities and gossipy neighbours. It will be easier to cope with duty this evening when there are fewer distractions.

Exasperation can lead you to say things you might later regret. In a fit of temper, you could spell things out too bluntly. Consider how a thoughtless remark can create more tension in a relationship. Deal with problems in a cool, critical way but bite your tongue when tempted to tell someone what you think of them.

Avoid spur of the moment travel. Suggest another date if friends or in laws are thinking of paying you a visit. Postpone a trip if you don't have a good feel about it. Although you are tempted to do so, it isn't a good time to bring up unresolved grievances. If you do, misunderstandings will multiply.

Practical concerns are hampered by conditions outside your control. It seems almost impossible to achieve your aims. If a job isn't going well, push it to one side and return to it when you are in a better frame of mind. Creative work will allow you to express the idealistic side of your nature.

All the planning is over and you're about to launch what promises to be an important and fulfilling project. You are charged up and raring to go. Your practical ideas will come in useful in a team effort. In the workplace, people can't seem to do enough for you. Many hands will make light work.

Don't let anger rear its ugly head. A partner or colleague keeps trying to push your buttons. As a result of their behaviour you will prefer your own company. Someone who is being too cavalier or unfeeling will only have themselves to blame if you pull out of joint arrangements.

Social plans are dealt with surprisingly efficiently. You are working hard to stay organised and on schedule. Your involvement in a neighbourhood project will raise your standing within your community. Romance, a creative pursuit or a hobby will help you relax later in the day.
