With an abundance of energy, this week you will want to fill your days with variety. Someone puts forward an intriguing proposal. Whether this concerns business or pleasure it will sound far too good to turn down. You are being spurred on to take a gamble you would normally walk away from. Do you want to run the risk of making a big loss? Caution is recommended.

You have no qualms about helping others when they run into difficulties. A domestic problem or troubles on the work scene could make for a chaotic start to the day. Some around will be argumentative, angry and obstructive but you won't lose your temper. If you force yourself to remain composed, your calm influence will help bring things to a speedy conclusion.

A change in management or work routines may not have your full approval. If you must answer to a different set of people you are understandably nervous about this. You have ideas you would like to see established. Before putting these forward, try to get friends and associates interested. You have some crucial decisions to make today concerning your career.

It would be sensible not to do anything unusual where money is concerned. Today and over the days ahead, you need to avoid making extravagant or careless gestures. Any rash moves could tip the balance of the financial scales the wrong way. This will cause more harm than good. Instead of thinking about spending, concentrate on putting your energy into making more money!

Is a close friend or loved one exaggerating when they complain about their problems? They may say they need you; you might feel they don't! Are you only seeing what you want to see? How will you feel to have dismissed their pleas for help when they really needed you? Hear others out. Be there for them. With hindsight you will be glad you put yourself out even if it did mean missing out in other areas.

Some peace and quiet would suit you down to the ground but you have too much on your plate to make this seem possible. Even so, where there's a will, there's a way. Some jobs will not suffer from being put aside until a later date. You don't have to deal with people who make you feel tense and nervous. If you are the one who chooses how you spend your time today, you will have no complaints by the evening!

A male friend or colleague is starting to get your back up: is he taking your kind nature for granted? If someone constantly expects you to fall in with their wishes or to jump at their command, it is time to let them know you have things of your own to do. Rather than flying off the handle as you are inclined to do today, a few quiet, carefully chosen words will prove to be more effective!

Your ability to act decisively in a difficult situation could mean others start taking you more seriously. Those who matter rate you highly. Your actions today prove to be just the right way to get in your superiors good books! The qualities you show are admirable in that they are natural; you aren't trying to impress or prove anything to anyone. Continue like this and you should be able to look forward to a bright future.

If you're making plans or setting off on a long journey, check and double check the itinerary. Avoid risks. Confirm details and do all you can to make sure everything will go smoothly. A well prepared traveller is a safe and contented one. If you are responsible for making the arrangements or for looking after other people, then this is the time to make sure nothing has been ignored, neglected or overlooked.

Someone who is being pushy and forceful makes you feel you're being pressed into a corner. Your suggestions could trigger off an argument which seems to get blown out of all proportion. To keep others happy you feel driven into going along with their ideas. If you aren't happy about this, you aren't provoking an already tense situation by letting people know it. You have a right to have your views heard.

There will be moments when you feel as if things are going against you. Even those closest to you can't seem to agree with anything you say. This gets you wondering where you are heading. Are you truly satisfied with life the way it is? The fact such questions keep popping into your head suggests some changes are in order. Amend joint arrangements and establish new rules in a work relationship to get things working in your favour again.

You are thinking in terms of widening your future horizons; and this may mean a change of jobs. Someone makes a choice or decision out to be urgent; they are trying to force your hand. If risk is involved, you need more time to think about it. Don't let anyone put you under pressure. You sense change is in the air but you need to time to adjust to the idea of new possibilities. Act only when you are ready.
