Convincing a senior colleague that your ideas are feasible will take a lot of time and effort. They want to look at all angles and have all their questions answered before they give their approval. You know your plans will work and you can't help feeling they are being too critical.

Use discretion when an issue of contention comes under discussion. You feel strongly about an issue and you will find there are others who feel the same way. At work, no one seems to be speaking the same language when you may have to repeat yourself more than once to be heard.

Looking at ways you can cut your expenditures is difficult when you are already trying to manage with a tight budget. As your financial situation changes, your circumstances regarding the benefits you may be entitled to, change too. Talking to a helpline or advice bureau will give you a better idea of any support that is available.

Despite having plenty to do on your own a friend will approach you for a favour. If this involves a loan, they may have to try someone else. A problem with a long-term financial contract will need to be dealt with immediately. This isn't the first time this issue has cropped up and you have a feeling it won't be the last.

Stretches on the budget could mean less money being spent on family outings, holidays and having fun. There are ways to fill your time that don't cost a penny and that don't involve shopping. Before making even a modest purchase you might need to take another look at your finances.

Conversations and sharing interests with others stretch your knowledge. You might think about looking further into a subject that fascinates you. A neighbour you hardly know will ask for some advice. You might be surprised about how much of their personal life they are confiding in you.

New group projects will inspire you and for the moment, teamwork brings out the best in you. Just be careful about overdoing your desire to help the team. Your support is gratefully received but there are some who will start to take your kindness for granted until you might wish you had never got involved.

A matter that hasn't been giving you a lot of happiness will soon be brought to an end and this will be an immense relief. Someone who knows you well may have a hand in it but something will be agreed upon today that will make life far easier for you in the future.

You've got so much to do that there may be some regret about an unfinished matter. You should be able to wind this up within the next few days. A mixed bag of activities will keep you on your toes. A workmate will suggest a new way of handling certain routines. You need a bit of convincing that it will work.

News you have been hoping for will be received and this will help to revitalise a close relationship. Your partner's loving advances will prove that recent arguments have been forgotten. Don't be surprised if you notice a closer mental rapport developing between you. You're looking again for new ways to save some money.

It could be time to make an effort to improve your health. Some form of physical exertion will make you realise you need to get more active. Your mood is quite determined and once you make up your mind on what you are going to do about it, you are likely to stick to a new fitness regime.

Some of the ideas being shared today could confuse you. You had made some definite plans regarding a group or community project and it will be quite upsetting to find other people have other ideas. You might feel someone doesn't really know what they are talking about and the annoying thing is other people are actually listening to them.
