Some shady dealings which have been going on behind your back are now brought out into the open. You won't be pleased to hear what a friend or partner has been up to. Now they're being more truthful, you might find a way to salvage the situation. There may be some money loss or embarrassment when someone you care for must admit to their mistakes but it's only fair under the circumstances that they suffer the consequences of their past actions.

You have creative ideas; other people have nothing but objections to your suggestions. Don't try to force the issue by making premature decisions affecting people without their say so. There doesn't seem to be a lot of good cheer around you; some have a tendency to look on the dark side. Romance is a most pleasant distraction from distasteful duties even so you will still have to return to them if you push them aside.

You didn't think you cared about something that's recently happened, now you realise you do: a lot! Feeding yourself with remorse will only make it worse and it'll be harder to move on. You worry you might make the same mistake all over again and you're heading for the same irrational route. Learn from past experiences but don't take haven in feeling forever guilty. For today at least, try thinking about something else.

Your sensitivity and compassion pays off when you tell someone exactly what they need to hear. You're inclined to give your time to a charity or voluntary venture. It might take a while to get your partner to understand your motivations but it's worth making the effort to win their cooperation. After all if you're going to give up a lot of your free time to needy causes having the backing of loved ones behind you will make it ten times easier.

You know a good opportunity when you see one; your challenge today is keeping what you observe to yourself! Tread carefully in all your dealings; bitter words and impulsive actions will be later regretted. If a receptionist or work associate is withholding important information, bypass them and go directly to their superior. Keep calm as today it will be horribly easy to get things out of all proportion.

It's about time you lived a little; forget responsibilities, call up a few friends and arrange a fun night out. Or you might enjoy being host to a house full of guests. People will appreciate your hospitality and you could receive a few unexpected invitations as a result of your sociability. Most cooperative efforts based on team work should bring productive results. There may be someone who is acting in a dictatorial way but you will know how to get around them!

A head on confrontation could poison the atmosphere in the workplace for days and even weeks to come. If someone's having a bad time of it, don't make it any worse by reminding them of their shortcomings. What's more, you shouldn't listen to someone's dire predictions when their words are motivated by anger, bitterness or disappointment. Sometimes you have to make decisions independent of others; if you don't look after yourself, no one else will!

Other people are depending on you and so you have to make a decision, you can't keep sitting on the fence. It doesn't matter if things don't work out as you'd hoped. The fact that you make a choice and get on with it is what's important today. An older person is all set to put your back up with some badly timed advice or suggestions. You have to be the adult here by keeping your cool and refusing to enter an argument which will get you nowhere!

Today you're more likely to take risks you would normally have stopped to think twice about. Having to shoulder extra responsibilities could be the consequences of an impulsive offer. You can't blame anyone for what has come about through your own decisions and actions. Your success now lies in your ability to roll with the punches. Cash flow problems could cause friction in the family later in the day.

Communications between you and a mate are somewhat disjointed; arrangements tend to break down. You may have to corner someone about a promise they made you some time ago. Give this person an ultimatum if they're unresponsive to your requests. In business, the more flexible you are the easier it will be to negotiate a satisfactory deal. Don't be surprised if everything seems too much trouble this evening!

You might find a way to wriggle out of a relationship you feel is going nowhere. Pouring your energy into new areas will mean you won't have as much time for old commitments. Disagreements over work methods could lead to frayed tempers and it might seem impossible to keep things placid. Work mates fall out with each other and a senior colleague will be unhelpful. Discussions lead to no definite conclusions!

You would love to let love and romance be your first priority but other things are sure to get in the way. Arranging your life so you have more time for pleasure could entail some frantic rushing about; the bother could be well worth it. A new partner will be fun to get to know or if you're single, a promising candidate will appear on the scene. A dynamic frame of mind provides you with the willpower to cope with complex situations.
