Various complications could arise in your effort to sort out a matter you would like to see an end to. A person you are dealing with seems unwilling to back down and they will argue black is white. Stressful career conditions could affect your health and your mood when you are with your family. You need to achieve a balance between your private life and professional concerns. This could result in you making some much needed changes.

This is a transition period for you in that your needs are changing and your friendships reflect this too. Feelings are particularly strong today and you will find it easier than usual to stick up for your own interests. New business connections lead you down new avenues which mean eventual changes to your world in the future. Agreements made now will have long-term consequences.

You feel you are being forced to use methods or techniques you aren't keen on; you would rather do things your own way. Suggestions other people are making are more like demands. When someone gives advice, you get the impression they expect you to act on their ideas. You would rather have a choice. If you do try to voice your thoughts it will only turn out to be a waste of time. People don't seem to want to know!

Your daily routines could be affected by circumstances that take you completely by surprise. Either there's a need to travel because of what occurs today or travel arrangements already made will be blocked due to conditions you have no control over. No matter what plans have been made and despite every effort you make to be careful and precise something will happen to turn them on their head.

Your main aim should be to try to stay in control no matter what occurs. Not everything will turn out as expected. Expenses could be higher than you had anticipated and it might be tempting to simply go along with the demands other people are making. If you take the time to look at alternative options you might find a way of saving yourself some money.

Your partner or someone you work with seems determined to do the opposite to what you suggest. A little charm and patience might go a long way to keep things running smoothly. You feel a strong longing for peace and solitude and to sort things out in your mind. It might seem, in some areas, as if you're up against a brick wall. Nothing you do seems to go right. A knowledgeable friend could provide the help and advice you are looking for.

You are being serious about your work; even so someone may accuse you of being careless or forgetful. You might feel you are being blamed for a colleague or associate's mistakes. If people won't listen, go straight to the boss and this should help clear the confusion. Because your energy levels and willpower are both high, you should be able to deal with all problems or difficulties that come your way.

Romance and close relationships mean a lot to you but you might feel a bit out of step with the rest of the world today. There may be a need to cancel social plans at the eleventh hour; this won't go down well in the circumstances. You feel weighed down by responsibilities and unable to keep people happy no matter how hard you try. A close relationship reaches a turning point and this will cause some strong feelings and emotional confusion.

Your approach to family concerns is more practical and serious now. Not everyone will be as sensible as you are but you feel certain you can talk them round to your way of thinking! It is going to take a lot of hard work, time and effort to carry out projects being discussed but you are up for the challenge. You are motivated because you can see the benefits new arrangements are likely to bring.

You are more assertive in your relationships as you are no longer prepared to wait for people to make up their minds. You might feel you have given others plenty of time to consider recent proposals and you now want some answers. You are prepared to act on your ideas with or without the help of those around you. It might feel as if you are the only one who is thinking rationally. Eventually others will start to follow your lead.

You could be approaching someone with some money-making ideas. Or a friend could come to you with a great idea or two you would like to develop further. Don't be too concerned about any initial setbacks. If you are prepared to put in the effort, an exciting new venture will ultimately bring pleasing profits your way. A friendship could warm up because you are communicating more effectively with each other now.

A sudden desire to start something new could make for a complete change in your everyday routines. If you act on an impulse to end old ways, walk out of a relationship or start on a new course of action, be sure you are prepared for the consequences. Acting on a whim is not sensible or wise. Although today emotions are powerful, stay in control. Make decisions with your mind, not your heart.
