It won't take a lot to steer your mind down new avenues of thought. This will bring some beneficial changes over the months ahead. You will have a chance to travel for a test, audition or interview. If travel expenses aren't being reimbursed by your employer, shop around for the best rates before purchasing tickets.

You may need to be more discriminating about the company you keep and the people you work with. A colleague's oversight could put your own position in jeopardy. Steer clear of workmates who are gaining a reputation of being unreliable. Haven't you been burned enough by opportunities who took advantage of your good nature?

Commitments have been fulfilled. You have carried out work you agreed to do to the best of your ability. Someone seems to be expecting or demanding more from you. Don't feel guilty about saying no. You are not letting anyone down if you feel ready to move on to something different.

A partner at home or at work wants to set the pace. It might be to your benefit to allow them to call the tune. They want to take on more responsibilities and if this means you will have less to do, you will have no complaints. Having more time to develop interests of your own will suit you fine.

An older relative is not happy and this makes the whole family feel miserable too. It seems only fair and reasonable that their needs are respected and you all work on a way to help them find a solution to their problems. There will be some hard times ahead but you will find a way to cope.

You might wonder how you managed to take on so many commitments. All of a sudden you have too much to do and not enough time to do it in. it will feel as if you don't have overall control of your life and to safeguard your professional reputation you should resolve to do things properly or to not do them at all.

If you are new to a study or training course or you have just started a new job, give yourself a chance to find your way. Don't compare your efforts with those who have been doing the same thing for years. You are bound to see a noticeable difference. Take one step at a time and be grateful for every small achievement.

You're looking for answers but these may not be found in the most obvious places. If you're thinking of asking someone something that could be judged as a personal question, bite your tongue. You will find out what you need to know in a roundabout way without upsetting anyone.

You're thinking about including some travel and a change of scenery into your day. If you have a partner and you have not been seeing a lot of each other recently, suggest that they join you. Spending time together in an unfamiliar environment could be just the tonic your relationship needs.

You will admire a friend's achievements and this could have you setting new goals for yourself. If this is something you really want, you stand a high chance of succeeding. Inspiration comes through online discussions and long talks with friends, colleagues and neighbours. It feels like a good time to branch out.

As independent as you prefer to be now, you could find yourself needing an extra pair of hands later in the month. You won't want to have to plead for it. If you accept that some jobs would be handled better jointly from the start, your world will be a better place for it.

Even if it hadn't been planned for, there are issues that need to be addressed. You have some key decisions to make and you will have no trouble getting other people to take you seriously. A few minutes before a test or interview, information will be received that could affect the outcome.
