A high level of perception helps you tune into the needs and feelings of those around you. You will know how to motivate those who are in a slightly restless mood and you will inspire youngsters whose interest isn't always easy to ignite. Let's face it, your leadership skills are supreme and no one can match you in energy, zeal or enthusiasm. You find it easy to get everything going your way and other people will champion your ideas and methods.

A bargain offer could catch your eye and trigger off the idea to persuade a partner to make a joint buy. Buying an item you might both benefit from at a considerably reduced price seems too much of a good opportunity to pass by. Cash is not the only thing you are spending today. You are investing time and effort into making family and working affairs run like clockwork. This type of investment will prove to have been well worth it.

You won't be pleased to have to postpone family plans to fulfil a sudden work related responsibility. Whether this was something overlooked in the past week or a situation that has occurred out of the blue, you will still feel it could have been avoided had someone been more attentive earlier. Even so, it's no use crying over spilt milk and the sooner you get on with it the sooner you can get back to the family and activities you are hoping to enjoy.

Don't allow a professional or an older person to intimidate or influence you. Your views are equally as important as theirs. Someone with a scathing tongue might try to manipulate others with their clever words and innuendos but if you pay attention, you might notice some inconsistencies in what they say. If tempers are heated and conversations confrontational, this might be a sign you would be better off finding a new set of people to mix with.

You could attract good opportunities your way today but you won't know this unless you make a special effort to do so. You could, for instance, underestimate your abilities in certain areas and this will hold you back from going after what you really want. Fear of failure might also result in you failing to get involved in experiences you would have thoroughly enjoyed. Today, there is no reason why you can't at least try anything once. Remember: those who dare, win!

A happy, inspiring day prompts you to be more spontaneous than usual; someone finds your impulsive behaviour so sexy! A part of your nature which can be alluring is your instinctive modesty and self control. Today, you are both passionate and zealous. You will show your feelings in a charming and dramatic way. Your high spirits might take others by surprise but you are unlikely to hear any complaints!

It's your personal hopes and wishes that are highlighted at this time with a chance of a secret wish being granted. Although there's something private about your dealings and quiet about your surroundings, the day seems to have a certain glow abut it. This is all because of a feeling something special is going to happen soon. You won't be able to explain why you feel that way: you just do and this mood is making you positive, optimistic and assertive.

Your social life is on the upswing and this gives you the incentive to press on with group activities. In areas where people haven't been getting on well together, things have noticeably changed and the atmosphere is far more harmonious. Cooperation abounds and this inspires you to share your ideas and long term plans. Even suggestions that were turned down in the past will now receive a positive reception!

There is zeal and enthusiasm in the way you attack your social and other commitments today. If you're working towards a joint goal, give other people the chance to catch up with you and remember: you are all in it together! By mutual consent you and your associates might decide to delegate the work and although this will give you less to do, it will at least give you more chance to relax at the end of the day!

A check of finances might reveal you, a partner or both have been splashing out more on amusements recently. Either you will agree that indulging in some form of personal extravagance has not made too much of a difference to your financial situation, or you will decide it is time to seriously economise. It is likely to be an unusual day in that instead of dwelling on past mistakes you are more concerned with how to put things right for the future.

Devoting time to a friend in need could cause some upset in an emotional or sexual relationship. You could never turn your back on someone who is having problems but a loved one may not understand your compulsion to help. Aquarius is a fixed sign and when you are committed, you are really committed. This attitude and your concern for others is what makes you who you are and those who love you need to accept this without resentment.

You may have to explain to a young child or someone who has a childish outlook that fairy tales are just fiction! You can see why they are taking such a naive view to a situation because you can put yourself in their shoes. Even so, not all circumstances lead to a happily ever after ending and the outcome of many situations depends on the amount of work and effort that has gone into it. A highly charged atmosphere could result from you suggesting someone stops dreaming and starts doing!
