Emotions are in turmoil; a strong sense of self discipline is needed to stay composed today. Inside you're like a pin ball in a pin ball machine, your thoughts bouncing out of control and reactions to outside events constantly changing. Take a deep breath and count to ten before saying or doing anything. New ways of doing things are replacing the old. You might learn to like, if not love, some of the changes happening now.

You need some time alone or with friends you can trust as there are important matters to consider. A relationship is causing you some concern and though you never imagined you'd be the one to make ultimatums, extenuating circumstances could warrant this now. You might feel you have been a fool putting your trust in the wrong person or for seeing someone through their difficulties only for them to turn their back on you now.

Some company policies make no sense at all; expect to find yourself questioning procedures today. It might seem as if the people who are making the most mistakes and worst decisions are those in positions of power. If there's nothing much you can do about this, look for the humour in bad situations; it will be there. At work and in official functions, as in other areas of life, it is better to laugh than cry!

You are held in higher esteem among your peers than you might think; your personality shines. This is your answer if recently you've been wondering how people see you and you were starting to not like the way you are. It is entirely possible the only person who has been standing in your way is yourself. You're making a great impression on those who matter and you're about to find out how likeable other people do actually find you.

Money making activities are inspiring; you will want to keep the pressure on to consolidate your position. Communications are running at a high level. This, coupled with your determination to make progress will be all that's needed to restore your image with senior colleagues. Take the chance to mix business with pleasure this evening when something connected with your world of work will be a positive pleasure to work on.

Someone's unfriendly attitude makes the going tougher than normal. It's not easy to press on in joint affairs when others are being difficult. Your thoughts are on someone who is temporarily out of your life and you're missing them dreadfully. Life feels empty without them. If you're inclined to just sit around waiting for their return, start a new hobby or get out and mix with others. Don't let it be that a partner is your way of defining your existence.

You're determined to make your own mind up no matter what other people advise or suggest. Are you being stubborn for the sake of it or do you truly feel your decisions are the right ones? Being independent for the sake of it could cause hassles. Your defiance is stopping you appreciating what you have. It might be time to look around and start seeing friends, loved ones and those who are doing their best to support you in a new light.

There is no black and white in some issues you're dealing with today: only grey. You're setting yourself an impossible task if searching for absolute truth, certainty or honesty when there has been too much inconsistency of late. Uncertain conditions and shifting realities will result in you feeling wary and apprehensive. What you are learning out of all this is who you can trust and who to be on your guard with in the future.

How you feel and what you are thinking are two entirely separate things today. Your heart tells you one thing, your mind another; this causes you a lot of confusion. Being able to let go of emotions and psychological baggage is what you should aim for now. You won't ever be able to stop yourself thinking or control some wayward emotions, but you can take the time to evaluate them and stop them influencing your decisions.

You should be reminding yourself of the fullness of your life. This will help you enjoy a sense of gratitude for the things you do have. A mindfulness of your weaknesses as well as your strengths might open your mind to new possibilities as you set your sights on new goals. Your thoughts, aims, needs and desires will all connect with what is going on at this specific moment in time and what you hope to get out of the future.

There's always a point of no return; know when you've reached it today. It's not sensible to expect to be able to go back to where you last left off in a relationship after experimenting with other options. Once you've walked out the door, it will slam behind you. Once you've turned down an offer, don't expect it to be repeated. No deposit, no return should be your philosophy today. If you want to build on anything, invest time, commitment or money in it.

Someone will call the tune and this means you aren't able to follow your own inclinations. It's hard to make headway submitting your ideas. You might wonder at a friend or colleague's tactics to get you on their side. You appreciate the odd word of praise but hearing the same flattering comments over and over causes you to question their sincerity. Trust your instincts if you feel someone you're dealing with today can't be trusted.
