If you haven't been paying attention to what others were saying, ask them to repeat themselves. To pretend you heard when you didn't could lead to misunderstandings that will take time to clear. Are you becoming so engrossed in a project that you are overlooking everything else?

You are well aware of all the things you should be doing. In fact you have a list as long as your arm of tasks that you need to get on with. You also need to remind a partner or housemate of their responsibilities. You can't do it all.

You have been putting yourself out for someone who now takes your help for granted. There seems to be little in the way of appreciation coming from them. You are ready to suggest they start standing on their own two feet.

If you allow other people to have their own way, nothing will get done. They won't be as organised as you are. Take things into your own hands early on and this will give you more time to do your own thing, this afternoon.

Cutting corners will only end up costing more than originally intended, whether this is through time, money or effort. If a job is worth doing, it is worth doing well. Ask for help should you need it. There will be plenty of cooperation around you.

Try to see it from their side if you feel as if an older workmate or housemate is being deliberately awkward. An argument will cause tension between you and a partner or close friend. It might help to remember that the least said, the sooner it will be mended and forgotten.

Taking up a surprise offer made to you by a friend will brighten your life. You seem to have a knack for being in the right place at the right time. Still, you won't take this for granted and you will aim to match lucky breaks that come your way with equal amounts of effort.

A housemate is more than willing to lend a hand, should you need any help. All you have to do is ask. Friends, colleagues and neighbours seem extra keen to share time with you. A number of party invitations are coming your way.

When you put your mind to something you can and will get quick results. You will be applauded for whizzing your way through some heavy responsibilities with ease. Have patience with someone who makes a genuine mistake. You might be able to do something with your eyes closed but this does not mean they can, too.

You've been doing a lot lately for your family, friends and colleagues. Today you want to do something for yourself. No one will have any objections. In fact your partner or someone who is equally as special has arranged a nice surprise for you. Relax and enjoy.

Be willing to bounce thoughts and ideas off others. A problem is playing on your mind. If you talk this through with someone you trust they will give you plenty in the way of helpful and supportive suggestions. It helps to talk.

Be willing to push aside familiar methods or codes of conduct in order to try out something new and different. This could open up an exciting new world for you. Give and take is necessary in all relationships. Work on it to get the balance right.
