Friendships will blossom and deepen whereas a close and loving relationship needs gentle handling. You get the impression your partner is making too much of problems or even dreaming up some that don't exist; but they do exist in their mind and you need to listen with patience and kindness to their worries. Give them a shoulder to cry on or a strong right arm to lean on and you'll end the day on a more harmonious note.

Ask plenty of questions if at first you don't understand proposed alterations on the job scene. Your initial dislike of some ideas could lead you to dismiss suggestions that are both feasible and reasonable. Where there is confusion, time should reveal all and you will like what you discover. You may feel some slight concern for your future but no drastic decisions are likely to be made today.

It's one of those days when you will enjoy yourself no matter what you decide to do with your time. If you're romantically involved, don't be surprised if your partner acts a little out of character. Other people might think up some crazy ways to inject fun and variety into your days. Finance is the one area that calls for caution: curb any thoughts of wild extravagance and avoid money talk with someone close.

Be guided by your intuition and you will discover why someone is reluctant to reconsider a decision. You might feel a judgement or pronouncement was incorrect or unfair but you may not be aware of all aspects of the situation. Someone knows something you don't and today your instincts will tell you although they can't reveal all, they do have everyone's best interests at heart, including your own.

A great home improvement idea could come to you today but caution is called for. Keep your thoughts to yourself for a short while longer. The time is not yet ripe to exploit your ideas. Wait until you have fulfilled existing commitments, then you will have all the spare time you need to put your plans into action. Those you live with are more likely to support you if you are methodical and organised in your preparation.

You could pick up a tip for improving your income. Either through a part time job, or an upcoming vacancy in your firm which offers a bigger pay packet. You have high hopes for the future and these will be matched by someone you live with who has some good news to share with you. You could be invited to attend a gathering of old friends or a school reunion but new commitments are more interesting.

Don't feel obliged to take on someone else's problems just because you have done so in the past. Isn't it about time you encouraged others to stand on their own two feet? Steer clear of situations that shouldn't involve you. You might think people can't manage without you but if you leave them to their own devices, you will be proved wrong. As well as giving others more autonomy this will give you greater independence too.

The best way to shake off any tension is to admit you have taken on too much or that something is bothering you. Being honest with yourself will help you find the solution to your problem. If you're struggling with a particular job, find something else to do for a short while or simply tell others you are having problems. Either way you will feel more relaxed much sooner if you stop being excessively independent.

More seems to be happening on the social scene; you don't want to miss out on having a good time. Taking on more commitments at this stage in your life is not a good idea. Soon you will find your interests veer towards other areas and you may regret having got too heavily involved in a group concern. No matter how friendly people might be today, refuse to let them persuade you to take on more responsibilities.

You have a lot of influence both in your social life and professional relationships. If you notice something needs to be done, say the word and others will spring into action! People seem to be bending over backwards to please you. A relationship that has been slow to get started could get moving now as you impress someone with your practical and down to earth suggestions.

Reaching the end of a difficult task gives you increased scope for exploring new ideas. Whatever your plans, you will miss out if you don't take time to consider all angles of the situation. Accepting the chance to travel in the future could impede your professional progress. What might have been a great opportunity had it come earlier, now could be a hindrance. Rethink your priorities.

It might seem as if you are at the centre of chaotic trends but you can see orderliness in the disorder. You know where you are going and you know too that all will be fine once you get through a tricky situation. Friends and loved ones might be finding it difficult to cope with the turmoil but it will only be temporary. Sometimes there's a need for mess before everything is once again tidy!
