A special effort must be made to mix and mingle with some prominent people. This will include setting up a number of lunchtime meetings to oil the wheels of industry. Choose venues with care so as to add a touch of informality to these occasions.

You will learn a lot about people, events and current situations through observing from the sidelines. Friends are delightful company. You may not be able to get a word in edgeways but that won't matter. You are happy to sit back and listen.

Think about your health. If you have noticed a distinct lack of energy, you need to stop making other people a priority and start thinking about your own needs. Take regular exercise and prepare nutritious meals to energise your system.

The objective of a meeting, trip or application will be the exploration of a specific target. If all goes according to plan, this will bring an absorbing mixture of friendship and learning. You could uncover information that has reference to the past that will affect your future.

The complexity of a challenge you have taken on may mean having to recruit someone with specialised skills or knowledge. Others will expect you to conduct these interviews even though you feel your time could be better spent elsewhere.

Showcase your skills and you will be given a promotion. A meeting with a prominent client will put new opportunities your way. You have a brilliant idea for a business and might want to carefully consider whether to branch out on your own or team up with a talented friend.

If you are given a choice between working with a partner or going solo you would always choose the former. At the same time if you are left to do all the work while a partner is having fun, this is not how it should be. On this occasion at least you would benefit more from going solo.

It makes a lot of sense to delegate jobs to people who have talents in specific areas. As annoying as it might be that a project you are enjoying has come up against a few problems this is unlikely to cause you too much inconvenience.

Plans will be postponed due to unexpected circumstances or demands. It may be necessary to accept that you aren't going to be able to start on a new venture as had been planned. Aggressive behaviour and impulsive decisions will almost certainly end in disaster.

A senior colleague's evasive answers to questions you feel are important is starting to make you nervous. If they promise to give you more details soon, accept that they are waiting until the time is right before revealing sensitive information.

You need to know, from your boss, about the future of your career even though you're nervous about what you might be told. Ask specific questions and you will get straight answers even though these may not be what you want to hear.

You've been struggling to get others to take you seriously. Whatever you do or say, an older colleague will seem to find fault with you. Look to an outgoing friend for help in promoting a bold idea. Once a project is put in motion, opposition will disappear.
