You hide your feelings well as you say all the right things to all the right people. Others have no idea what is going on in your mind which is often the opposite to what you say! You know the way to get people on your side is to be tactful and go along with them for the moment. Later, you can be more assertive. Today, it seems appropriate to play a secondary role.

New social opportunities bring the need for you to seriously consider your relationships. Accepting new offers and getting involved in a different circle could mean you have to cut social ties of the past. Think about what you are hoping to get out of your relationships in the future. Old friendships and group ties may have become dreary. Perhaps it is time to move into a new future.

Something you have dedicated a lot of time and effort to, shows signs of being a success. No-one is surprised; your work is first rate. People may not realise how much sacrifice and effort it has really taken to get this far. Even so, you are pleased with your achievements. This could bring new challenges your way and your mind starts working along different lines.

Life continues to be full of surprises; relationships are more harmonious and you feel secure as a result. A neighbour or relative shows their curiosity, wanting to know more about your business. You will reveal only what you want them to know. Someone close is about to splash out without considering the financial consequences. In this case, they will learn from their mistakes!

Whether you need a loan, some advice or practical assistance, don't think twice about asking for help. You are a generous and caring person and people value your friendship. Others won't mind in the least if they have to stop what they are doing to give you their time. Don't feel you are putting anyone out in a day when friends will fall over backwards for you.

A cautious atmosphere is evident when you might be teaming up with someone you have not worked with before. It will take time to get used to each other's ways but this won't be as difficult as you might be imagining. You could be surprised you get on better with someone than you expected. Keep ambitious to a fairly modest level today and devote more time to relationships.

Before you can put the plans you are considering into action you need to give them more thought. There may be a need to consult other people who are involved. Making arrangements without their knowledge could cause problems when dates are double booked or people are unavailable when you need them. Make a special effort to keep others informed every step of the way.

New responsibilities don't hold too much of a challenge but they may interfere in some of your other plans. You won't mind doing people favours. Little favours mount up and soon they will be taking up time which you should be giving elsewhere. Whether new commitments concern your job, a neighbour, friend or relative, start thinking about limiting what you do for others and think about yourself.

Relationships with a neighbouring family are so tense you avoid them whenever you can. You might think of a way to resolve the issue causing all the problems. Rather than thrashing things out between you, you will find a more subtle way. Even so, the days ahead could be stressful as you confront a difficult situation rather than run away from it.

Letters, emails and messages need replying to as you are ready to tie up loose ends. If there is anything causing you concern, leaving it standing will only magnify your distress. You need to act because thinking the same thing over and over again is too exasperating! Don't leave it so you don't know where you are tomorrow. Deal with problematic issues today!

Rather than being shoved about from person to person, deal only with those who know what they are talking about. Whenever it seems as if you are making progress, something or someone seems to get in the way. The moment you suspect things are starting to go wrong, step away from the scene. You will view things differently if you are looking in on the event, rather than being at the centre of it all!

You might be keen to start on something new but something inside prompts you to finish what has already been begun. If you don't complete the jobs you are working on now, they might seem to drag on forever. Concentrate your effort for just one day in putting the finishing touches to work that is almost done. Now is also a good time to attend to appliances that need fixing or replacing.
