You could have some trouble getting your ideas across to those who matter. You will need to be extra persistent today otherwise you might be tempted to abandon a project before it has really begun. Make a determined effort not to let the negative attitude of other people get to you. And don't allow outside difficulties to interfere with your close relationships. Try to develop more sensitivity for your partner's feelings or they may feel that you don't care.

Your regular commitments suddenly don't seem enough for you any more. You want more. You have a strong desire to experience something new and to widen your horizons. It's as if your eyes have suddenly been opened to the possibilities that are around you. Refrain from throwing caution to the wind and acting on ideas that are unrealistic. Careful thought and planning is more likely to bring you what you are after.

Anything that is worth striving for deserves extra perseverance and patience. Rather than scattering your energies, focus on the things that really matter and you will see a difference by the end of the day. There may be some problems lurking which concern legal, financial or property matters. Avoid taking risks and be particularly wary of those who try to persuade you into chancy ventures.

Partners could be making plans that sound a little scary but they want and will insist on you getting involved. Common sense thinking will help you accept that their ideas are likely to bring improvements into the home. Take care, however, that expenditures are kept within a reasonable limit. At work, you might want to avoid getting involved in an emotional entanglement between two colleagues. Only it could sneak up on you before you're aware of it!

You want to make the best of your appearance but don't get so obsessed with diet and fitness that you overdo them. True, you would like your body to reflect your mental agility and the youthfulness you feel inside, but it is more important to feel good, than to look good. Set a few health oriented goals but keep these within realistic levels. At work, your mind flits to possible new projects but colleagues aren't very helpful. Be prepared to stand alone.

If the rest of the week is anything like today you may wonder how you are going to keep up with it all. Most areas progress in leaps and bounds. If single, you could meet a dynamic new love attraction. Despite a few uncertainties, you might still take the initiative in romance. No matter how long or short a new relationship will be, one thing's for certain: neither of you will walk away the same when it's over.

Group efforts seem to be going nowhere when you aren't on the same wavelength as another member of your team. Rather than spoiling things for others, you might decide to do your own thing. It won't help, however, when someone accuses you of sulking. People might blame you for not saying what you are thinking but for once they are wrong. No matter how honest you try to be today, no one seems to believe you.

A tendency to speak your mind could generate tension within your work or family environment. You may not get much cooperation from others and any complaints could draw unfavourable attention to yourself. Don't be surprised if you end up going off someplace quiet where you can catch up on neglected tasks that don't need anyone's help. You feel discouraged with someone's take it or leave it attitude but the less said, the better.

You may have to corner someone about a loan they still owe you or an item they borrowed that still hasn't been returned. An unfulfilled promise they made you threatens to inhibit the confidence you had in this relationship. It is clear now that they can't be trusted. If necessary, issue an ultimatum. And if they fail to respond to your final demand, this could mark the end of your union. Hopefully, it won't come to that but the ball's now in their court.

You have allowed someone to become too dependent on you and now this person is stopping you from living your life as you so desire. It might be hard to get others to realise the sacrifices you are making on their behalf but you need to do so. There is no reason why you should give up on your dreams because they aren't being shared by a partner or someone you live with. It may even be better to cut certain ties than to allow such a restricting union to continue.

Don't be too quick to accept a challenge this morning. Stay within your capabilities. Your usual high vitality is at a low ebb and you might feel more at ease, working behind the scenes. There may be some displeasure when someone who you trusted, lets you down. If you don't raise your expectations, you won't be surprised if things don't work out. It's a day when exaggerations of minor happenings or grievances can lead to enmity.

There is a need to be as tactful and as diplomatic as possible. There's a lot riding on your attitude in your relationships, either socially, or at work. New opportunities could demand that you gain further knowledge or skills in order to be a part of the team. A lack of faith in your ability makes you hesitate. Push past your uncertainties in favour of new experiences. Don't let a fear of failure hold you back.
