Taking a well calculated risk will pay dividends; your ability to keep calm in excitable situations will also help. Timing is all important and you will wait until the very last minute before you act. Unsolicited advice will be offered by those who think they know better than you: ignore it! The worst thing you can do is allow others to distract you. Being able to act decisively at the precise time will be a distinct advantage for you over others who are too impulsive or too slow.

A female friend admits her guilt after revealing details of a secret arrangement you didn't imagine existed. Although you sense her bewilderment, now you know about it, you will want to find out more. This situation needs to be approached with an open mind. You won't want to get anyone into trouble but you can't bury your head in the sand. You may also want to confront someone who is aware of the truth but has been feigning ignorance to avoid an investigation.

Someone's trying to force your hand; they're pushing hard to get their own way. There's a temptation to give in if only to find relief from the pressure they are putting you under. Stand your ground. You are doing okay as you are and there is no need for anyone to suggest otherwise. Common sense will help you make the right decisions. Even if you feel a strong sense of responsibility towards them, you must not let their selfish pleas cloud your judgement.

There's nothing you like better than combining your imagination with your wonderful powers of intuition. Put your creative mind to work and see what you come up with. Projecting your thoughts towards someone whose actions over the past few weeks have left you baffled could have interesting consequences. There is something you have missed that is so obvious to you now. You might come to the conclusion you need to put more effort into this relationship. Such a revelation can only help strengthen the bonds between you.

Plans concerning a further training or study course may suddenly seem a long way off. Someone's expecting you to lose interest. Their attitude could have two consequences. Either it causes you to have second thoughts about your long term aims. Or you will become even more determined to stick at it and prove them wrong. Even if you missed the start of a course and will have to wait until the next one begins, don't give in.

Tension is starting to show in some kind of business or legal affair. Other people are wondering whether it is the right thing to do but it is too late now to pull out. You for one have no intention of changing your mind. It doesn't matter if your stubborn attitude means this matter could drag on for quite some time. You would never feel happy about making changes at this late stage. The sooner other people realise this, the sooner you can all get back on track.

You're torn between teaming up with a person you always get on with and someone who is useful to know but not as pleasant. Making this choice is scary because it will have big consequences on your future. The differences between these two people are mega. Choose the latter and you are guaranteed a future that is more tranquil and harmonious. With the former, life will be frantic and discordant at times but it will also be exciting!

Someone has noticed you're on to a good thing and they're trying to get in on your secret. You need to be careful when dealing with people you hardly know. They may not be as honest as they are making themselves out to be. Don't give anything away if it seems like someone is being overly inquisitive. Heed your intuition. It may be to your advantage to tell others just enough to keep them interested but not enough that they might steal all your best ideas.

A relationship is on the verge of blossoming into a deeper connection. It may be a while before you realise someone is in a position to pull a few strings to help you achieve a goal. Appreciate the benefits of making friends with an influential person; you don't have to like them! Even so, if the pair of you do happen to hit it off, it will be far more enjoyable. You will get to experience successful moments through a good friendship.

If others aren't going by the book it doesn't mean they're going to make a mess of everything. They may actually know what they are doing. The more flexible you are, the easier you will find it to work alongside other people. It might seem like they're going about it in all the wrong ways but different techniques can lead to similar results. You could learn a lot from others if you can find it within you to trust them and leave them to it.

Is agreeing to sign on the dotted line a good idea when you aren't as alert as usual? This is no time for making decisions or dealing with financial and legal affairs. Take notice of how other people are reacting to what you say and do. If it seems like a competitor is happy with your decisions, think about how they might benefit from this or use it against you in the future. Is someone trying to deliberately distract you? Delay making commitments for a wee while.

New obligations or some sort of private frustration will keep you occupied for longer than intended. This leaves you with very little time to review a report or some other literature before you must act on it. While willpower may not be your strongest suit, you may have to insist that others are willing to wait until you've had a chance to mentally digest some complicated pieces of information. Once you have taken it all in you will be more certain about your next course of action.
