Success in an educational or work project will put you in a position of leadership. As you near a special goal, change won't scare you and this will lead to considerable advances in your work. A competitor may hardly be cheering you on but they will show respect for what you have achieved.

A surprise gift or text message will make you feel like the happiest person on earth. It isn't often you feel so positive and uplifted and it will feel good. Work recently submitted is being assessed and you will feel secretly pleased with the heartening feedback that is received.

You have a wonderful way of inspiring others. Friends and workmates will readily agree to your plans and suggestions. Just be sure you don't allow your imagination to run too wild and free or some ideas will be unrealistic and it might take a practical friend to point this out to you.

You sense a lot of frustration coming from a workmate. Encourage them to talk. They might feel as if there is nothing to show for all the effort they have been putting into a difficult job. Offer to share the load and this will help them get over a stumbling block that has been holding them back.

Taking on new responsibilities will come with an offer of promotion. Although this move has been in the air for some time, you never took it for granted that it would happen and you will breathe a sigh of relief that your hopes are starting to come true. It could take a few days for it all to sink in.

You're tired of listening to negative comments just because it is taking a little longer than everyone was expecting to get a campaign off the ground. Some people expect you to give up on this idea altogether but you aren't a quitter. You will find a way to move this project forward.

Someone close seems to be getting very needy. With you having demands from a number of areas including work, family and social obligations, you are not in the position to give in to someone's emotional demands. You might wish you had the courage to tell some people what you are really thinking.

Time is running short and when you are working to a deadline your whole focus will be to meet this goal. You will do better when left to your own devices. Friends and colleagues will make what they think are useful suggestions but they may not be useful to you.

You sometimes have a tendency to rush ahead and leave things a little ragged at the edges. Resist the temptation to cut corners. Now is a good time to put all our effort into finishing a project you have been working on to your own and your employer's satisfaction.

It will feel as if you are taking on too much if you get involved in a friend or neighbour's problems. If they turn to you for help, admit that you have too much on your plate already. The financial situation will be sensitive when you are trying to prepare for a larger than usual bill that is due any time now.

A sudden desire to change everything around you will not be echoed in a partner's thoughts. If you insist on going ahead with some ideas, all they are likely to do is stand back while you get on with the hard work. Since it was your idea in the first place, you cannot really complain.

A job, commitment or political position is coming to an end. As well as suggesting you are preparing yourself for new beginnings this will also leave you free to move on to other things and even another location. You have a few good reasons why you should get started on a project which up until now has been in the planning stage.
