You might be finding out you have even less in common with someone than you'd originally thought. You've always suspected there's little that you share, either through interests, outlook or lifestyle. Events today will prove your suspicions right. You weren't ready to take action until your qualms were confirmed. Now you know this relationship will only bring you grief in the future, it's time for you and this other person to say goodbye.

A meeting or seminar could be more exciting than you anticipated; you will be glad you didn't miss it. New possibilities now open up and you've got some serious questions to think about. You don't have to continue down the same path just because it's what's expected of you. You have the freewill to make your own choices. People you're in contact with now may become either business partners or promoters.

Don't worry if you didn't make a good impression on someone the first time you met. Once you spend more time together, they'll soon forget the original unfavourable impression they had of you. A practical and sensible person keeps everyone calm in a mini crisis. Follow their lead and you could learn a lot about yourself; this habit will serve you well in the long term future. A financial hassle can be relieved through new agreements.

An event or something you see could trigger memories from your past. Explore these feelings before they run away from you again. New ideas or suggestions may not fit into your comfort zone; the question is do you force yourself to experiment with what's unknown, unfamiliar or challenging or do you remain as you are? A flash of insight will help you break out of old, destructive patterns that have been holding you back. New ideas and experiences could be surprisingly good for you. All you have to do is try them.

There's greater independent scrutiny of a system you've been involved in. This could lead to a fundamental shift towards a more positive future. More people are being encouraged to join in and be responsible for achieving targets aimed to bring future improvements. The fact you're being trusted with more responsibility inspires and motivates you even in times when you have to make some difficult decisions. You're ready to show the world what you can do.

Believing in yourself and the promises you make will make a dramatic difference in the way others see you. If group associations haven't been going well and there are people who aren't taking you seriously, find new ways to express yourself. Even if it means a change of appearance to boost your confidence, this is what you should do. Choose a new hairstyle, spice up your looks with new cosmetics or change your wardrobe and notice the difference in the way others start to treat you.

A training or study course could take your mind to places you never dreamed of. You may not be content to settle for the one course as there are others too that might grab your interest. An older friend or colleague will help keep you grounded as you explore new ideas and possibilities. Watch the company you keep these days. Unusual characters may seem irresistible at first but you will soon discover their ideas and plans are unsettling.

Someone is playing with your emotions; challenges and difficulties face you in your close relationships. The cooler you are in your reactions the more likely it is you will retain control over proceedings. A joint transaction should not go ahead if a partner isn't being honest with you. New friends are keen for you to join in their pastimes. This gives you an excellent chance to mix with people who expect nothing from you but your company.

Live by your principles as only in this way will you be truly content. Don't let anyone, no matter what their position or status, persuade you to get involved in anything you aren't keen on. Changing your priorities to suit others is no way to improve relationships. It will be important to stop allowing people to divert you and to follow your own ideas. A smiling rejection of requests and offers should eliminate any chance of giving offence without altering your decisions.

Just a few small changes can make your life more interesting and rewarding. If you feel you're in a dead end career, there has never been a better time to find work to give you a new sense of purpose. When thinking about a change of job or volunteering your services to the community, consider where you can contribute best with the education and experience you have acquired. Be ready for a short spell of uncertainty until you find the right course for you.

Smiles around you will dim a little when expectations are disappointed. Hurdles that get in the way of progress should not be looked on as difficulties which cannot be overcome. Don't fritter away your time grumbling and moaning about what could have been. In terms of performance, you can get better and improve your prospects if you push aside your disappointment and try again. You will make a good recovery from a current or recent setback.

Despite your attempts to keep in control of your life, sometimes things happen and throw everything out of kilter. You might attribute the spontaneity of some events to a new friend who has a restless spirit and expects others to accept their penchant for changing everything at the last moment. You might feel motivated and driven to achieve a goal but it is becoming increasingly clear you're working with the wrong people.
