You might be speaking out loud and making your presence felt but are you making the right impression? For people in high places to take you seriously, you need to show and do, as well as say. Strength of mind will be more effective than strength of voice. If you're looking for someone new to work with, you could find the perfect partner at a conference, gathering or business meeting this afternoon.

It's not often you lose your temper but it's one of those days when you could easily fly off the handle. When things get heated, pause before making a snappy retort. Is getting annoyed justified or are you over-reacting? A colleague you trusted might get you into trouble or an action at work could attract the unwelcome attention of your boss. Keep away from people who don't know what they're talking about.

You could be negotiating some fairly choppy waters; family life in particular, being stormy. If having second thoughts about something, there's no need to make an instant decision. Tomorrow you will be on more solid ground and you'll be glad you did nothing to rock the domestic boat. It will be possible to compromise and to turn a difficult situation into a meeting of minds. If at a loose-end, try doing something creative.

The reason for a recent accident is discovered and someone apologises for treating you unfairly. You wish you could sweep it all under the carpet and never think about the incident again. You can forgive, but, you can't forget. You will look back on this day as a turning point in this relationship. You're in the mood to talk and are likely to spend ages chatting to a loved-one, getting all your pent-up feelings out, this evening.

Take care you aren't putting someone on a pedestal and only seeing what you want to see when with them. On the other side of that same coin, an incident at work could win you the reputation of being the boss's favourite! Resist the urge to behave badly in an attempt to disprove the rumour. A partner's unusual ideas for making money from your home will need a lot of thought and possibly legal advice.

Set some time aside for the projects and people that mean the most to you. Allowing others a greater input makes it easier for you to proceed with plans. Conversations are enlightening, helping you solve problems or find creative solutions to recent difficulties. When communicating with others, you will be both receptive and confident. Self-assurance helps you sail through the day.

If you've stepped out of line recently and you still feel bad about it, now's a good day to make amends. A gift for a friend or partner who feels neglected will be a rewarding purchase. Personal responsibilities prey on your mind and you will waste no time or effort in attending to your obligations. You could get through a lot more work than expected. Thinking positively will spur you on.

A friend or associate is all smiles today. You may wonder what's got into them to make them so happy. Don't you realise the affect you are having on others? You have great charisma and presence. Work and romance go hand in hand. If you're associated with the performing arts, a stage romance could spill over into reality. Take the chance to put friendship and partnership issues onto a new footing.

Put professional ideas and thoughts on how to improve working efficiency under the spot light. You need to take a long, hard look at them. An error made in the past should not be allowed to be repeated. If you can't learn from your mistakes, what's the use of making them? The way you handle a situation will teach you how to approach a similar challenge more positively in the future. Put across new ideas with diplomacy and conviction.

If you're confident you've got what it takes to win in a competitive situation, go for it! Heed the word 'confident'. The more confident you are the less hesitant you will be. It's as simple as that. Uncertainty could make you hold back and lose out. In which case, maybe this particular victory wasn't meant for you. Win or lose? The answer is completely up to you and how much faith you've got in yourself.

You find yourself regularly in the company of an attractive and energetic colleague. This may make working life more interesting but don't neglect everyday responsibilities. A superior might intervene and wind you up. Avoid making light of routine but important matters. This may have more to do with a need to be rebellious and to prove your independence. It's difficult to maintain a sense of proportion.

The more structure you have in your life now, the more productive you will be. The more stability there is in your relationships, the happier you will be. It's time to get organised and to gently push a partner in the right direction. Not often do you take charge of a situation. The appreciation that comes your way, once you do, will make you know you've done the right thing.
