No matter what their status, if someone expects you to falsify information, don't do it. It may help them out of a tricky situation but it will put you in an awkward predicament. By going along with their wishes, you could get the blame in the future while they deny all knowledge of what you have done. Your boss or an official may well be treating you like a best friend now but this friendliness is superficial and will last only until they no longer need you.

Don't worry about the changes it will bring when you take the opportunity to broaden your horizons. Take a deep breath and go for it and you will be entering one of the most rewarding phases of your life. Group activities will be more fun than usual as you join forces with someone in a creative enterprise. A gift intended for your birthday takes you by surprise; someone has taken a lot of care to choose something special.

Through your guidance and encouragement, someone is starting to recognise their true potential. You've always admired their talents and it will be a joy to watch their confidence grow. The double edged sword of your own motivational skills is the impact they have on others. You've encouraged someone to think, ask questions and make their own decisions. Now they feel independent enough to take responsibility for their own actions. Your job is done!

Conversations with a new friend on Facebook or Twitter could lead you to questioning your beliefs, feelings and goals. You have reached a spiritual cul de sac; you need time on your own to uncover and release any emotional or spiritual debris that has been buried deep inside. A little quiet contemplation will help heal your soul. Talking with a spiritual counsellor or homeopathic practitioner might also have a positive effect on your well being.

Information you need will be difficult to find; it wouldn't be such an interesting challenge if it was easy! Be prepared to talk to creative, unconventional people and to delve deep below the surface to find the answers you are looking for. What you discover could lead you to end old commitments that are no longer meaningful to you. Even so you may not have anticipated the major changes that now lie ahead.

Get to grips with your feelings before you try discussing emotional issues with anyone. Find a private place to go to and find yourself. You aren't the only person who feels upset or angry so don't be surprised if a friend or colleague seems to lose it totally. To save them some embarrassment, let them know their reaction is understandable. It will only be when you are emotionally in control that you will feel able to handle the situation.

A new partner just isn't ready for a new relationship although you're both reluctant to admit it. If things were different this could have been a great romance but they need to deal with old issues. This is something they have to do on their own. You might feel this is as close to your ideal match as you could get but letting go is the right thing to do. Stay in touch and when they've dealt with their problems, you could try again.

Communication is essential if you want more from a current relationship. If you're disappointed with the way things are going but you say nothing about it, don't expect anything to change. Others can't read your mind no matter how close they are to you. Some people find it hard to cope in tense situations and some find it even harder to talk about their feelings. A heart to heart is the only way forward.

Dig deep and you will find hidden sources of energy to help you cope with a difficult situation. You are stronger, emotionally, than you have given yourself credit for. Turning down an offer and holding out for what you ultimately dream of will take courage but you know what you are doing. When other people see the results of your endeavours it might encourage them, too, to be more assertive and to stand up for what they believe in.

A love affair will start or end today. There's a need to be more sensitive if you're struggling to understand a loved one's emotional outbursts. You may think they're being rather dramatic but hold back from acting more forcibly than the occasion demands. A few kind and gentle words is all that's needed to make someone feel you are listening to them. If you really want a relationship to work, show some feeling.

Some soul searching or trying to get your thoughts in order will leave you mentally exhausted. Meditation will help you eliminate all that is negative in your life. Someone has been manipulating you or using their relationship with you for their own gain. You've known this for some time but only now are you ready to acknowledge it. Ridding yourself of oppressive or negative influences will leave you with more space in your life to cultivate the positive.

Subconsciously you're looking for someone to blame when things go wrong. You don't want to admit the problem could be of your own making, but you will only be adding to your difficulties if you start accusing others of things they didn't do. Sit on the urge to criticise unless you have evidence to prove what you are saying is true. Why sow the seeds of further hostility when your aim should be to promote a little peace and harmony?
