Unless you feel your life could do with a big shake-up, patience will be needed. You want to see results and if this means pushing other people to get moving, let those restless instincts rule. If you sense someone will get defensive and pull out of a joint arrangement, maybe you should act with more caution.

Family matters come top of your list of priorities. Discussions involving children, education or the welfare of an older relative will be tense. You knew it wasn't going to be easy. You want others to do what you would choose for yourself in the same circumstances but is this really right for them?

You're thinking about recent conversations and trying to work out why some people feel the way they do. If you disagree with them or feel upset by their words, try to push this out of your mind and think about something else. Allowing your thoughts to prey on this matter isn't helping you.

An impulsive business or career decision may have seemed good at the time. You are now concerned about having made the right choice. Now the commitment is made, you will see it through and it will take more than a competitor's caustic comments to drive you away.

You radiate charm wherever you go. Even if you don't want to attract attention, it seems inevitable. Giving your support to a fundraiser or charitable cause will increase your popularity and you could make some valuable contacts through your social interactions. Be ready to put personal plans on hold.

Disappointment with the actions of someone you trusted will affect you badly. One way to turn a bad experience into something positive would be to go back to square one and start over. It will be through patience and meeting others halfway that you will achieve your goals.

Misunderstandings in a close relationship could make you, your partner or both of you angry. You can think of a few ways to manipulate this situation to your benefit but be discreet about some of your tactics. You don't really want to hurt anyone but this is what you could end up doing.

Someone has news that will knock the wind out of your sails. Your reaction takes you by surprise because you thought you were prepared for anything. Since you are determined to remain positive you will give yourself time to let what you have heard sink in before reacting.

Contention in the workplace is slowing progress. This is frustrating but losing your temper will not help. It will be your charm, charisma and warmly helpful attitude that will gain the support you need. Be extra polite if it is your boss or a senior colleague who you are trying to win over to your way of thinking.

Strong links with a friend or business partner will see you happily working together towards a lofty goal. The power of suggestion can be an asset in business affairs and it will pay to be a little more forceful than usual when expressing your ideas.

You're upset with the way an older relative refuses to consider your feelings. They are making their views loud and clear but they don't want to listen to you. You will never find a compromise until they are willing to meet you halfway. Even so, don't wallow in self-pity. Occupying yourself with a creative or mentally stimulating pastime will be more rewarding.

You could do a lot to make life good for others. Your aim is to help the most vulnerable members of your community. This may involve organising or giving a fundraising performance. As well as being profitable and fun, you could hear of an exciting opportunity through your social connections.
