You're on your own more than usual even though this won't have been planned. Someone who was supposed to be helping you will be in touch to explain that due to circumstances outside their control, they won't be able to make it. You aren't sure you believe their excuse and you won't let this deter you from your aims.

Someone who is in charge of a group effort will pull out unexpectedly but all is not lost. You have already put a lot of hard work into laying the foundations of this project. You don't intend for this to go to waste and if that means taking on a leading role, that's what you will do.

It will come as a surprise when a friend admits to why they have been moody of late. You would never have expected them to be feeling as if their kindness and generosity has been taken for granted. It might even upset you that they feel this way when you always saw this relationship as being an equal one of give and take.

Issues relating to the future will concern a loved one more directly than you. Even so, these matters will come under discussion and others will be expecting you to share your views and feelings. Someone close has an important decision to make. You would not like to be in their shoes and you will give them all the support they may need.

Pause before splashing out on items you don't need. Just because you have some spare cash in your pocket, you don't have to be in a rush to spend it. There is every chance something will crop up later in the month that will make you grateful you were able to put some money aside for this.

You like to keep your own business yours. You aren't being secretive when you refuse to give a gossipy neighbour the information they are asking for. You are a private person and you are entitled to keep your personal affairs under wraps as you intend to do.

News about a work or financial matter will be disappointing. This will not be what you had been hoping for or expecting. Instead of accepting this as the final decision, get in touch with those who are in a position to help. There will be room for negotiation.

A romance or friendship takes on a new direction. There will be some confusion regarding a message received from someone you met briefly some years ago. Reply with caution. Beware of hidden motives behind some communications. Write down something you are asked to remember as you have so much on your mind, you could forget it very quickly.

It won't be easy to get an older relative to see your point of view even though you can understand where they are coming from. You share very different experiences and you are doing your best to be reasonable with them. It's not often you are so patient but you happen to be particularly fond of this relative.

You are keen to put some jobs you have been working on for some time behind you. In addition to this you just want to get results. The main hazard facing you is the possibility of you taking on more than you can handle due to the fact that others who could be helping you are conspicuous by their absence.

Normally you would be glad to help out should someone approach you for advice or guidance. Today, there isn't a moment to call your own. You're in need of some solitude and you're even more aware of this due to the fact that everyone seems to need you for one reason or another.

The effort you have been making to strengthen a close relationship has been well worth it. Plans under discussion should bring greater security and stability into your life if they go ahead as you are hoping. You're being strongly influenced by feelings and emotions but in some matters it should be your head that rules and not your heart.
