A recent accomplishment gives you something to celebrate but other areas of your life need more work and attention. One dark cloud blotting the horizon will be a complicated job matter that needs your urgent attention. An insurance claim, funding application or joint financial arrangement should be given careful consideration.

You will be getting together with friends to raise awareness about a matter that is close to your heart and raise some money. A platform will be given to you that will enable you to inspire and galvanise your community. You are facing some gruelling challenges, some to do with work and others relating to a volunteer effort.

Your boss expects your help and support in an issue that is causing contention between the ranks. To take sides could bring problems for you in the future. If you can keep out of this, do so. Besides, you can see the situation from a number of different perspectives and you aren't quite certain yet of your own views.

It is no fun to find yourself left alone to deal with a matter that should be a joint effort. Someone is deliberately ignoring their responsibilities and expecting you to fill in for them without complaint. It may be that you have allowed them to walk all over you in the past but not now. It is time to make a stand in this relationship.

You're extremely charismatic and normally turning on the charm helps get you out of trouble. Your techniques for getting around other people don't seem to be working today. A contentious matter cannot be resolved through smooth words and generous gestures. Those in charge want to see evidence that you mean what you say.

An arrogant colleague seems to think they can read your mind. It will be to your amusement to keep some of your thoughts to yourself. You don't see why you should reveal what you are thinking when they have jumped to the wrong conclusion. They're so sure of themselves, you can't see any reason why you should be the one to put them right.

All aspects of a situation need to be considered before you make up your mind on what you want to do. Avoid taking foolish risks. Go ahead only when you know you've weighed up all pros and cons. Gaining the support from people in positions of power will be a big help. Someone who has helped you in the past will offer to do so again.

A big debate will be sparked around the question of should a younger member of the family be encouraged to strike off in new directions. Ultimately it will be up to them what they do and you will respect their decision. Even so, you will have advice to offer you hope they will take seriously.

You need support and you need to persuade a Board or Committee of the practicality of your plans. Even the most brilliant business idea will need to be polished up a bit before putting it in front of the powers that be. You can see the potential of your thoughts. How can you show persuade others to appreciate this too?

You get the impression someone is trying to con you or a family member. Seek legal advice to have a seemingly complex negotiation broken down into easy to understand pieces. A professional will help you make a claim for reimbursement for loss or damage. They know your rights and this will put you in a stronger position to state your case.

Before voicing your ideas to your peers, get the powers that be on your side. If you say too much too soon, someone will steal your ideas and they will pass them off as their own. Wait until the time is right before bringing your plans out into the open. The stronger the backing, the more chance you will have of winning.

A financial deal or some form of joint venture should not be rushed into. Give it further consideration. If you're uncertain about what you want to do, get an idea of how much it is all likely to cost you before going any further. Delay a decision if you feel this is necessary or would be the sensible thing to do.
