A colleague or housemate's irritability causes you to wonder if you've said something to upset them. Before looking into the past for reasons, think about what's going on over the next few days. Double check your schedule and you might realise there's a birthday or anniversary coming up you'd almost forgotten about. There's a good chance someone suspects it's slipped your mind. Once you show you've remembered, their mood will change!

Discussing why things are going wrong could prove more creative than anticipated; new ideas offer new hope. Don't ever curb those aspirations of better things to come and never give up hope. Even if things aren't turning out exactly as you desire, you can make your dreams come true with diligence and patience. What goes on today does matter. Look on it as the first day of the rest of your life and remember: decisions made now can and will affect your future.

Character building experiences allow you to demonstrate talents or qualities other people rarely get to see. This could add a touch of competitiveness into a group endeavour. A team mate had not anticipated how ambitious and determined you can be; they may feel threatened by this. You're starting to realise your potential and this enhances your confidence. If you've always been the underdog you get to break out of this cycle and dance towards the light.

Researching a favourite project or cultivating a personal skill are two things you might think about now. In fact, rather than just thinking, why don't you make a determined effort to get started on something you've been meaning to do for a while? You're more in touch with your own needs, desires and hopes for the future. This therefore, makes it a great time to take action and take advantage of all this self awareness energy.

Why allow doubts about your capabilities stop you from planning too far into the future? Having long term objectives and goals to work towards will keep you motivated. Stop putting a ceiling on your potential. The more experience you gain and the harder you work to develop your talents, the more likely it is your efforts will surpass your expectations. Don't be surprised if you start on a community project in the near future.

A meeting isn't a one off, it's the start of an ongoing process which brings more communication into your world. New ideas are discussed and plans put into action which allow time for anyone who is new to the situation to get used to what's being expected of them. What has been a difficult process is eased because you've now got the support of those in high places. Agreements made today and tomorrow will have big implications for the future.

You can do anything you set your mind to providing you believe in yourself. Imagine the future you want for yourself and this will help you turn dreams into reality. Your creative and imaginative instincts are dazzling. Just steer clear of negative people who don't share your optimism or vision. It would be a shame to allow someone to burst your bubble. Links with someone overseas could help you escape daily realities.

To attain the security you dream of, there may be a need to trust others with your plans and ideas. If this means having to approach an authority figure, so be it. You can't keep hoping for a different future if you do nothing about it. Someone in the know could give you support and guidance. Don't hold anything back when putting forward your ideas. The more positive you sound, the more likely you will get the backing you are looking for.

Being wary is being sensible today; someone who expresses interest in you isn't all they seem. You might feel flattered by the attention a new colleague or colleague is giving you; don't be too quick to think this isn't without motive. Either someone is trying to pick your brain, or they're hoping they'll be introduced to useful people, through you. Once they get what they want, they'll be on their way. You will regret it if you give too much of yourself away.

You might be annoyed with yourself for getting over emotional and doing something stupid. Other people may well get angry and emotive and they're happy for it to show but you would rather your feelings aren't on display. Sometimes you try too hard to control your emotions. Not letting them flow away leads to this kind of embarrassing outburst. Believe it or not, for the sake of your health a little outburst will probably do you a lot of good.

A kind hearted colleague is willing to show you the ropes with an up and coming venture. You're keen to get involved but might feel you don't have the talents or skill that's needed. Someone sees your potential and is keen to encourage you. You're in good hands; open yourself up to their expertise. Everyone has to start somewhere and if others are willing to give you a chance, you should grab this with open arms.

Walking out of a relationship on impulse just because you're going through a tense time could be a costly mistake. This won't be expensive in a material sense but in the loss and difference it makes to your life in the future. Not having a certain special someone near you will make you feel hollow and empty inside. Look on the problems you are going through as a temporary glitch and be prepared to put more effort into this union.
