Misunderstandings can be avoided if you go out of your way to try to see things from other people's perspectives. Your own frame of mind is changeable which makes it quite hard for anyone to keep up with your moods. Respect and tolerance will make a difference in all relationships, personal and professional.

As much as you prefer to stick with familiar methods and routines, this isn't doing you any favours in the long run. A conservative approach to new technology could hold you back. It would benefit you to be more progressive and forward looking in your thinking. You have to move with the times to be offered the best assignments.

Before making an important decision it will be vital to weigh up all the pros and cons. It will be logical and practical for you to start putting together a new and more workable budget. Building your future security figures more strongly in your life than ever. Finances, family life and home matters are important considerations.

Taking a positive outlook on life will help you spot the best opportunities. Although you are tempted to hide away from the world, it will be through mixing with old friends and encouraging newcomers to join your social circle that you will find most enjoyment and satisfaction.

A housemate is too lazy to carry out their share of domestic chores and a friend will make a feeble excuse as to why they let you down when you had been expecting them. A workmate will annoy you with their couldn't care less' type of attitude. At least when it comes to work and money, you know where you stand.

Remember: charity begins at home. You will be happy to do a friend the odd favour. You might even volunteer to help out a friend of a neighbour. When you're asked to loan some money or an expensive piece of equipment to someone you hardly know, this is when you will feel too much is being asked of you.

If you've recently been under the weather you might notice your health improving day by day. You will feel more energetic and more mentally alert as time wears on. Someone you are introduced to will be around a lot in the weeks ahead. You aren't sure yet whether you like this idea or not.

You have no trouble seeing other people's point of view whatever they intend to do. You understand where they are coming from and where they are going to. An older relative doesn't share your empathic nature when no matter what you say, they seem to take it the wrong way.

A young relative will bring up subjects that have caused conflict and pain in the past. It isn't their fault for they aren't aware of what has been going on. You won't find it easy to talk about but you recognise the need to bring some secrets out into the open.

Spending time in the company of a couple of close friends will suit you better than hanging around with the crowd. You may have disagreed about future arrangements you are planning together but somehow there isn't so much of a problem reaching a compromise now.

Be patient with a cautious friend who is finding it hard to make up their minds. You know what you want to do but it's not as easy for them to commit to something they are uncertain of. Getting angry with them won't help and will make them even more hesitant.

A quick phone call isn't enough to say all you want to say to someone. You will be left feeling frustrated when there has been so much left unsaid. Rushed communications could lead to misunderstandings. Wait until you have someone's full attention before bringing up an important matter.
