Throw yourself into a project that needs thought, planning and concentration. Show others what you are capable of when given the right incentive. This is a good time for action related to your dreams, feelings and attitude. You feel inspired when a recent achievement will have helped dispel past negative feelings about your abilities. Today you know you can achieve what you set out to do and this confidence and optimism will bring you the success you strive for.

A workmate doesn't think carefully enough before saying no to a great offer. You might consider their decision is short sighted but nothing you say will get them to change their mind. This opportunity is essentially there for anyone to exploit and if the person you think would benefit from it most refuses to see the potential positive prizes ahead, you might be tempted to take it up for yourself. Why not? You deserve them as much as anyone.

You might be giving time, money or offering your skills to a charity or good cause. An urgent desire to stand up and be counted will impel you to volunteer to help with a local community scheme or fund raising effort. There may be some changes in your lifestyle coming along and these are linked with your social activities. You're determined to play an active role in community affairs but take care not to seem too pushy. Some people respond better with gentle and patient encouragement.

You've got someone or something in your mind's eye and you are determined to pursue a special aim. A challenge looks more daunting now you've decided to go for it. What surprises you even more is how young some of the people are who will be joining you on this venture. A friend is trying to arrange to meet you for lunch. In fact they desperately need your opinion on an issue that's causing them a lot of concern.

Something starts your mind ticking over and you might decide it's a good time to start working towards new goals. With your mind made up and your hopes on far off horizons, you will be determined today to sort out your life in terms of relationships, career, education even, and job satisfaction. While you're at it you might decide to make an effort to heal a recent rift with a friend or neighbour. Life is too short to bear a grudge

Are you letting a small disagreement with someone you see regularly turn into some kind of power struggle? You have some sensible ideas but another person's fanciful suggestions seem likely to spoil the entire plan. You're beginning to wish you had kept some thoughts to yourself. Is there no way to combine their creative thoughts with your more workable methods to come up with something totally different? You could surprise yourselves and others too!

A couple of things about today will stick in your mind for some time to come. Marriage and partnership issues need some thought but you must take care not to be critical of others. Jumping to conclusions and accusing someone of something they didn't do could cause serious damage to a loving relationship. Think before you speak and watch what you say. You might be singled out for special thanks for work you've recently put in to a community project.

A direct and honest approach will be necessary in a professional arrangement. Don't apologise for being yourself and if there is something you don't like, let other people know it. Just as if you feel a colleague is going about a job the wrong way, come right out and say so. This is the only way to feel truly happy. Now is a great time to introduce changes in the workplace but not so good for changing your employer.

You experience love in the true sense of the word when someone shows how much they genuinely care for you. At last you might feel you have discovered real and lasting love. Shared moments of a twosome kind make you aware of how deeply devoted you are to each other. It might come to you that you'd be willing to sacrifice anything for the sake of this relationship. If you are single, you will feel as if you've known someone you meet today, all your life.

You're looking forward to the day ahead with excited eyes. There's something special in the air and you instinctively know this is going to be an important time for you. If you are a typical Capricorn you prefer not to make instant decisions especially if some form of risk is involved. At some point today there will be a need to take a calculated risk. The good news is: there is only a slight chance of this backfiring and others will be impressed by your quick thinking.

A job you must do as the day begins is a slog but the task will fall into insignificance when the results start pouring in. Happy and constructive communications are yours throughout the day. New and novel ideas will come your way either through emails, text messages or phone calls. You don't have to stick to well established methods for a new creative project to do well. Others will see the value of your inventive thinking.

If you decide to go ahead with a major purchase you might need to adjust your budget to cope with this. Your down to earth and careful view of money matters will gain the approval of those who matter. You're able to put a sensible value on your talents should someone offer to pay for your services and this might get you thinking about setting up in business for yourself. This might mean building up a new business alongside a current job.
