You aren't going to meet some goals by taking the safe route; today it may be necessary to take a few risks. Your choice is: do you err on the side of caution and watch a dream pass you by or do you take a chance and at least know you tried. Reach for the moon and even if you miss, you will land amongst the stars. If you're attached, money prospects could improve due to the good fortune of your partner.

Your thinking is muddled by the confusing views of those around you. One side of you is grateful that others want to share their opinions, another side wants to ignore all they have to say. To make the right choice without it causing you any future worry, listen to your inner voice which tells you to disregard what anyone else has to say and follow your heart.

Encourage others to be honest while at the same time, don't allow them to dictate how you feel about radical subjects. Your good nature and witty conversation will help encourage people to spill out their feelings. Knowing their views, plans and goals makes it far less easy for them to try to manipulate you. What sounds like a simple idea won't be so easy once you try to put it into practice.

The more pressure people put on you, the more nervous you get and the more likely you are to make mistakes. If others really want to see you complete a job successfully, they should agree to leave you to it. People might not even realise the trouble they're causing through constantly watching over your shoulders. While their supposed helpful suggestions seem more of a hindrance than a help!

Try to avoid getting into situations which could cause you future upset or disappointment. If you're single, you might feel you can handle a light hearted relationship but it is commitment and sincerity you need most now. Another person's flippancy will leave you wondering whether you always give off the wrong signals. You're trying to be more sensible and down to earth and you want others to appreciate your more thoughtful side.

You're determined not to change your mind over an emotional issue; someone is trying to break down your defences. Whether they are close to you, work with you or they're an old friend; you need to persist in your efforts to remain resolute. You would only regret it if you allowed someone to sway you from your original intentions. Let others see you can be strong minded when you want to be.

Share joint commitments equally; don't leave it to someone else to do all the work. Even if you'd like to teach a friend or colleague a lesson for dodging some duties recently, this isn't the day to be aggressive. Do your fair share and you can't be accused of shirking your responsibilities at a later date. Don't do anything to rock the love boat even if this means keeping quiet about some of your plans.

Follow your imagination if you're stuck for ideas on how to keep yourself occupied this morning. If arrangements are postponed or cancelled, use this as an opportunity to catch up on jobs lying about the house or workplace. A powerful person might request you do their work for them. This is a test of wills and if you feel they're trying to prove a point, put your foot down and refuse to do their bidding.

There is no need to exaggerate your accomplishments at a meeting, consultation or interview. People can already see what you're capable of. Making a positive impression on a prominent person won't be as hard as you imagined. You know what you want and others can sense your determination. Your readiness to take charge of your life could well move you into a position of leadership.

Someone's slip of the tongue reveals their true and possibly insincere motives; bear this in mind when making decisions. You can move forward now with the personal changes you've been contemplating without worrying how these might affect those who clearly weren't about to give you the same sort of consideration. Another person's devious tactics influences how you handle your current situation.

You can't put off buying essential items for the home any longer. If you aren't in the mood to traipse around shops you might find what you need on the internet. If you're at the start of a relationship, let your instincts guide you. Ask questions you want answered rather than trying to guess how your partner feels. A relative fails to get back to you after you recently got in touch. Give them a call if you need a decision from them.

Find compromise where there is confrontation and try to avoid any arguments over finances. You are right to pay no attention to someone else's pie in the sky dreams but be diplomatic as you turn them down. Love and friendship is something money can't buy and a good relationship doesn't deserve to be destroyed because you're going through financial problems.
