Hesitate before making important decisions; you need to know you are facing all situations realistically. A surface interest in matters concerning other people will not be enough. Something more concrete and specific is needed if you are to get a group project working properly. Where there is indecision and confusion you need to know you have all the facts straight before taking action. This evening is a good time to write all your thoughts down.

All the hard work you've been putting in lately is starting to pay off; you always knew it would! Not only will a business arrangement prove profitable but your personal life will bring its rewards too. With extra money coming in you might feel tempted to invest in something new or take a wee chance or two. Common sense will let you know what to back and what not to!

Even though your mind isn't functioning to its full capacity you're coming up with some bright ideas today. Remember these for the future as some will be both workable and profitable. It's all a matter of waiting for the right time to come along to put them into action. Some mysterious activities are the subjects on everyone's lips later in the day. You won't settle until you get to the bottom of the story.

Yield to a pushy or aggressive person and they will always expect to take command and manipulate you. If you have repeatedly capitulated in contentious situations, today you realise the harm this is doing to your soul. You know you can't control every situation but you might do your best now to get your equilibrium back. Even if you get your way every once in a while this is better than giving in to others completely.

Take your problems to a partner; they understand you more than anyone else at the moment. They know what you want and how you might go about achieving your aims. Your self confidence and drive will get a boost once you get the reassurance you need that you're making the right impression. You don't want to come across as being too domineering. True you don't like opposition but you also respect the fact other people are entitled to their opinions.

Your health is questionable; this in itself should make you pause before taking on any more responsibility. The work scene is inclined to be frantic and it won't be as easy as usual to stay cool, calm and collected. The atmosphere and mood of those around you will determine how you get on today. You work best on your own and tasks will be completed in half the time, if you're able to find your own space.

You may not have expected it to be this way but it could be a day of planning and arranging. Once everything is sorted out and agreed on, you can look forward to new and exciting times ahead of you. Honesty pays in a business partnership. Don't feel others are being petty when discussing trivial and seemingly insignificant money matters. The idea is to sort out the nitty-gritty so larger financial issues will fall into place.

The intuitive side of your nature makes you the ideal person to help solve a loved one's problems today. Your innate blend of sensitivity and sympathy is exactly what they need to help get their emotions back under control. Although you aren't intrusive, the interest you take in what's going on around you makes you aware of all factors involved. You might become conscious of an upsurge of energy and psychic activity during the closing hours of the day.

Power struggles are likely in a close relationship: you and a partner both want to call the tune. Your ideas might go over like a lead balloon and you're inclined to snub their suggestions just for the sake of it. If you can't come to a compromise, why not suggest you both go solo? You have to find a way to move obstinate obstacles out of your way, one of them being a person who's being awkward and unwieldy.

If you've been concerned about your achievements of the immediate past now is the time to improve on these. A change of method or a different approach could help you recover ground lost earlier and progress will be more obvious. Waste no time on matters which aren't essential to the goals you have set yourself today. Friends will try to influence you but you're better off sticking with your own decisions.

If you must set your sights high, you need also to be realistic. If for instance you lack the experience or qualifications to reach your goals, now is when you should be looking into ways to gain the necessary training. Sign up for a training course or evening class. A domineering person could surprise you by showing a more perceptive side and giving you a few useful tips. You have met someone as complex as yourself!

If only people would accept you for who you really are, you would feel so much better. It can be emotionally draining trying to pretend to be someone you aren't just to please and mollify friends and loved ones. When others take it for granted they know what you're thinking or they can make decisions for you, you could become argumentative and stroppy. To avoid this, be more assertive and let the real you shine through.
