Your calm influence will be a big benefit when dealing with an erratic hothead. You aren't too impressed by someone whose outbursts reflect poorly on a team. Instead of making a drama out of a minor crisis you will encourage others to adopt a less frenzied approach to work you are sharing.

News from an old friend will bring mixed feelings. You will be glad to hear from them but this will also remind you of things that are best forgotten. This may have something to do with a relative of yours and you will do your best to make sure that they do not get hurt again.

The last thing you will want to do is rock the boat but you're starting to feel a work relationship isn't working. A colleague isn't taking the job as seriously as you are and especially if you are trying to better your prospects, you would prefer to work alongside someone who is more qualified, experienced and professional.

It will be the mood of other members of your household that will determine your own enjoyment of life at this time. If someone is feeling miserable, you can't expect your day to be much fun. If those around you are relaxed and carefree, you should be in for a wonderful time.

A young relative will look to you for encouragement. Be lavish with praise where you feel it is due. Someone close who has been preoccupied of late will show a wonderfully creative side to their nature. Why not join them by sharing some of your own imaginative ideas?

People will look to you when mistakes are made as you have the patience to stick at it until you find a solution. You will be able to put things right as will be expected. Praise and gratitude will be heaped on you but don't let this compel you to grant every request that comes your way for help in the future.

You may have to go behind the scenes and talk to people in the background to get to the bottom of certain issues. This goes against your desire to mix and mingle. It may be that you will get others talking about a touchy topic by just taking them discreetly to one side.

Take your time to get a job you are working on perfect first time. No matter how keen you are to get results, it's important to check this work from every angle before handing in the project. Give others who are involved a chance to get used to new ideas.

Emotionally you feel pulled in different directions. Half of you is longing for activities that might make life more thrilling and exciting. The other half is more hesitant about upsetting other people by pulling out of commitments already made. An online conversation will open your mind to enterprising new project ideas.

As excited as a friend might be about a business proposition, you will not be persuaded into putting your money into risky ventures. They can only see what they want to see. They don't want to consider the risks, the flaws and the loss that could result.

Happier days are on the horizon. If you've felt unsettled, discontented or uncertain about any area of life you should now start feeling as if things are changing for the better. This is a great time for getting ahead of the rat race. To make your mark you need to keep one step ahead of the rest.

Put more thought into those bright ideas you recently came up with about making your money go further. A friend is interested in a little business venture you are thinking about setting up from home. Stick to improving your own personal situation rather than getting other people involved.
