You're itching for more excitement but be careful of pursuing a person who is already involved with someone else. Winning their interest might be a great challenge for you but ultimately it's a recipe for disaster. Both you and your workmates need to control touchy tempers and avoid loud and unnecessary disagreements. Think before initiating any serious discussions especially with regards to sex and politics.

Check the references of those you are hiring to redecorate or renovate your home; be sure you can trust them. Also check they're a member of a relevant trade association. Or you could be left with a half finished, useless mess or be presented with a wildly inflated bill. If you're single, you might feel energized to make a positive change in your love life and this could mean taking a walk down the aisle.

There's no sense in pretending to have emotions you don't feel or to feign enthusiasm when you feel indifferent. Speaking your mind can be both positive and negative depending on the relationship involved. If a stressful relationship is upsetting your personal and social life it could start to interfere with your job as well. The sooner you sort things out between you the better. This might put others in an odd mood but at least you can look to the future knowing there are no lies between you.

Your views differ considerably from a friend or workmate's but in the end it's all a matter of personal preference. Don't bother to censor your remarks out of worry that you might upset someone. It's unlikely they will show you the same consideration. Unless you want to find yourself carrying the can for mistakes you had nothing to do with; give as good as you get.

An unexpected invitation to a social event could hold hidden expenses. Guard against gambling even the mildest sort. Hold down spending to necessities only and be extra careful in the wide area of money deals and investments. At work, don't stick your nose into someone else's business unless you want to end up with some of their duties on top of your own. If you aren't feeling up to much, do only what cannot be put off until tomorrow.

Even if you're certain someone is about to make a big mistake telling them so will not go down very well. Your efforts to help could be construed as criticism and this could cause lasting damage to a personal or professional relationship. Your first job as a human being is to protect yourself and to use your time wisely. So stop trying to safeguard others and start concentrating on your own concerns.

One promise you should make yourself today is to finish whatever you start. If the self improvement efforts you've been recently making don't seem to be working, don't get too discouraged. To give up now will only leave you feeling hopeless and inadequate. By sticking with your current endeavours you will get a lot accomplished. Plus you will be increasing your chances for future success.

Hassles and arguments over money could make you re-think your ideas about jointly held finances. Be ready to make adjustments without having to explain the reason behind it all. Working with someone who uses different methods to you could be a great learning experience. Although you won't see the sense in some routines, you could be so impressed by others that you decide to try them out yourself.

In a controversial work situation you're going to have to push your ego aside if you want to see positive results. A rival could stir trouble for you and it won't be easy not to treat them with the contempt they deserve. Diplomacy is the best way to deal with awkward people and difficult situations. You are good at what you do and your reputation will soar if you manage to settle an issue without it causing too much of a hullabaloo.

You crave a change and long to get out and explore new territory but personal obligations stop you from doing so. You might have to curb your restless feelings and focus your mind on the job, not on what you prefer to be doing. People are relying on you today and they will be disappointed if you let them down. Apathy will get you nowhere whereas willpower will reward you handsomely.

A legal or financial setback could prevent you from getting on as you expected today. Someone may make you a proposition which causes you some perplexity as it means taking on more responsibilities. You feel you can't afford to complicate your life right now. If you can think up some alternate suggestions put them forward straight away. The more flexible everyone is, the easier it will be to resolve the situation.

It might feel as if you're carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. Today you will find out you aren't the only one who has responsibilities. People you were relying on for help or support might let you down at the last minute so prepare to make other arrangements. Having to reschedule could be a blessing in disguise if it gives you a chance to attend to a joint matter which has been causing some contention.
