You realise you're never happier than when you're pursuing your personal goals. For this reason if you sense someone's doing their best to impede you, you will find a way to bypass the problems they're producing. This might mean talking to a higher up or being more secretive about your current plans and arrangements. You won't go to extremes but you will be more wary about your associations with some people now.

It's hard to keep your optimism intact as you work through today's trials and tribulations. Getting irate and frustrated isn't going to help keep things running smoothly. Anyway you're never happy in an agitated atmosphere. If you can see where others are going wrong, give off subtle hints and a gentle push in the direction you feel is right might help you all start making progress.

Don't keep tormenting yourself by going over every word said in an emotional dispute. You've been heading for a collision for some time. You've needed to declare everything that has been bottling up inside. It's not often you fall out with a friend and maybe that's because you've been too selfless towards them in the past. You won't be unaffected by their cool attitude towards you but have you been giving too much in this relationship?

As much as you have indulged someone you love, be smart and know when enough is enough. Of course you won't ever resent having to help out someone in need but there is a chance a friend or loved one has been leaning on you too heavily. To make it clear this is not something you intend to make a habit of it's time to encourage them to be more autonomous.

A busy work situation could be made so much easier by accepting the enthusiastic help of colleagues and associates. It doesn't matter who does what as long as the work gets done. Similarly, if in a joint effort everyone wants to run the show, too much time will be wasted in confrontation. Arguing over who gets most attention only means there's less time to hear views which could and should be expressed.

You discover you have more in common with someone than you realised. Your twin interests give you something to plan for and share in the future. Before starting on anything new you will insist on tying up loose ends from the past. Someone is encouraging you to spread your wings and you won't be against venturing into new territory, as long as you have it all planned down to the last detail, beforehand!

You might feel justified in airing a complaint or objection even if this means getting on the wrong side of someone. Tension in the workplace could bring on physical manifestations of your emotional state such as headaches or a nervous stomach. If disenchanted with your job or in any other area of your life, you must take the initiative to find a position you do enjoy. Don't stand back and do nothing.

Your passion and zest for a creative venture brings out the child in those around you. Although a situation was not supposed to be fun or entertaining, it could turn out that way once you pool your imaginative ideas. Apart from the enjoyment you're getting out of this, you can safely relax in the knowledge jobs are getting done and it's turning out to be a more productive day than expected.

You're all fired up and eager to accept a challenge that is both dicey and demanding. If you can find someone you might share this with, you will instantly half the risk. Start out single-handedly on a long term venture and you will be in for a rather lonely time ahead. Give some thought to new future possibilities but if you can, delay important decisions for a wee while.

There's immense personal satisfaction out of bringing order to chaotic circumstances or surroundings. For the second time in as many weeks, you will get the chance to sort out a predicament so everyone and everything is more methodical and organised. You handle a situation that requires patience well. Others are starting to realise the benefit of bringing about changes to a working routine.

The reason you are making progress when others seem to be going backwards is because you're keeping an eye on your goal. It's all very well working alongside people who are quick to think and act but if those around you aren't focused, they will lose track of where they're heading. You might come to an understanding others are allowed to experiment and try out different ideas as long as they leave you to get on, in your own way!

Before going ahead with new arrangements take a step back and survey what you have accomplished so far. Instead of looking at things through an emotional lens and allowing this to colour your impressions, strive to be logical in your thinking. You might feel you haven't come very far but in terms of understanding other people, improving relationships and making personal progress, you have done well.
