Focus on financial priorities; be careful of whose advice you take. With Mercury retrograde you could easily be misdirected. Seek the guidance of more experienced people where your own knowledge is limited. You can sometimes be easily distracted. If your concentration is not at its best, take a step back and try to view things from a distance.

A partner isn't listening to what you have to say; the more you try to talk, the further they turn away. Even if you sense they're making a mistake, wrong move or foolish decision, you might struggle to get them to acknowledge this. The day will not be without its problems but don't give up too easily. A change of approach might be all that's needed to get others to pay attention.

Most of your energy is directed towards your career and other responsibilities. What time is there left for pleasure, romance and relaxation? The week has hardly begun and already you feel worn out and weary. Pace yourself over the days ahead so you aren't running around in your usual hyperactive way. Slow down. Balance all areas of your life and that means: relax as much as you work!

Money and legal matters may cause some hassle but the good news is: emotions are positive and strong. When dealing with stress inducing situations, instead of getting overly alarmed keep a cool head and take a detached look at the issue. Once you view things from all sides, a solution will be closer to hand than you first expected.

You are starting to realise what is most important in your relationships and maybe you got it all wrong in the past. A friendship or romance is at risk because of a lack of good communication. If someone means a lot to you, talk your feelings through. If you're single, romantic encounters and new attachments are significant. You need to devote time to relationships if they are to succeed.

If you can't come up with an answer to problems encountered don't keep on beating your head against a brick wall. At times today everything seems to happen at once and you don't know whether you're coming or going. You need to put jobs that aren't important on hold. At work, when things don't go as expected, the trick is to use your charm and confidence to promote your goals.

Where cash and careers are concerned be wary of allowing other people to influence you. You'd like to think you are making your own decisions. On deeper consideration you could realise some choices are to please others, not yourself. It is possible someone has been trying to manipulate you and you need to keep your wits about you. A thorough and painstaking analysis of a close relationship is long overdue.

Work and commitments you thought would be trouble free turn out to be nothing but an uphill slog. Extra duties throw your life out of balance. Some important adjustments must be made. Few things will come easily today; you have so much to do you can't give a lot of attention to any one thing. Needless to say, don't rush into new areas without thinking about the possible consequences!

Quiet thinking is necessary if you want to get your head around new circumstances or changing feelings. Any complications in your life now come in the form of a past or present partner, or other emotional ties. Normally you aren't shy about going after what you want. Your trouble at the moment is you aren't sure what you think or feel and all this uncertainty is holding you back.

What other people need to recognise and realise is you have your individual needs; they can't make your choices for you. You may have always trusted a friend or loved one's judgement but today your instincts will tell you they've got it all wrong. You aren't being confrontational if you go against someone's suggestions. When all is said and done, you're entitled to make up your own mind!

Your work colleagues may be surprised by the suddenness of your ideas and actions; you just want to get a move on. Other people may hesitate and demand more time to consider new proposals. Your instincts are good and won't let you down. It's one of those strange days when you feel if you don't make a move, you never will. Rather than let anyone deter you, there's just no stopping you now!

The places you visit and people you meet bring so much pleasure you will wonder where the day has gone! There's less time than you thought to fit in all you wanted to do. Either reschedule some meetings for another day or try to squeeze in everything anyway. Even a quick phone call rather than seeing someone face to face will give you the chance to discuss a matter that can be resolved surprisingly quickly.
