Hide your impatience and chose words with care when confronting someone about a touchy topic. Even if you feel you have every right to be annoyed with the situation, your anger will make someone feel intimidated and they are less likely to be cooperative or helpful.

In a group situation, be diplomatic as you put forward your suggestions and views. Some people may not appear to be taking their professional responsibilities very seriously but you have no idea of the work they are putting in, in the background. Legal, financial and property dealings will seem laboriously slow.

You're hoping that the longer you ignore a problem the easier it will be to cope with. This is unlikely to be the case. It will be best to deal with serious concerns as and when they arise. What could make it easier is to get the help and support of someone you can trust.

Someone is not doing their job properly and what's worse is the fact that they are relying too much on you to do their work for them. This is a situation that cannot continue and despite how it may look at first, it will be possible to agree on a compromise. Take the time to explain how you feel.

Exploring new emotional territory can make you feel quite anxious. You're being encouraged to discuss feelings and reveal your deepest thoughts. Although this won't be easy, it will allow you to face your fears and the results will be well worth having made the effort.

You will be pleased to note that someone who spent more time grumbling about all they had to do has changed their strategy. After recently proving a point that it is better and easier to just get on with the job, they have stopped running off at the mouth and finally got down to work.

Financial matters are on your mind. Take a step back and consider whether or not you are putting your money to good use. If cash has been slipping through your fingers lately because of a few festive extravagances you need now to strive to be in charge of your financial destiny.

You're treading a delicate path in your close relationships. Your hope is to persuade someone close to agree to support you in something that means a lot to you. They won't be as keen and it is going to take more than a little charm to talk them around.

Routine responsibilities are getting you down. You're impatient to see results and to be able to get on with other things. You may well wish to be anywhere other than where you are at the moment but don't be fooled into believing the grass is greener on the other side of the fence.

Be honest with yourself when you consider whether you have been trying to burn the candle at both ends or if you have just been expecting too much from yourself recently. As you look ahead, start making plans to enjoy a less stressful lifestyle in the not too distant future.

Even if you are good at your job you can't afford to take a cavalier attitude. It will be important to take other people's feelings into account. You have plenty of energy but carelessness could, if you aren't careful, cause accidents. Slow down and give others a chance to catch up with you.

You may have to cope with extra demands on your time but you will organise yourself in such a way that come what may, you will still be able to squeeze in a few hours to call your own. Above all, you're looking for ways to exercise your creative ability.
