Dreams and instinctual feelings are more vivid than usual. You absorb the atmosphere around you like a sponge today. A friend or relative could influence your thinking without you realising it. They may voice thoughts which set your mind working in different ways. You could make some changes in your world based on their suggestions.

A decision you must now make calls for you to choose between rationality and instinct. A part of you wants to take a common sense approach to all you do another side prompts you to act on impulse or to go with your emotions. What is evident is if you don't act someone will take advantage of your reticence. So make your choice then at least you can't blame anyone else for the consequences.

You get the chance to work towards something new and challenging but is it the right time for you? You should only take up this offer if you are in an up beat frame of mind. Any thoughts of failure will not only hold you back but could cause you to be unsuccessful. Positive thinking encourages achievement. It's worth considering joining forces with a practical friend.

Someone you're with today will take the driver's seat and they expect everyone to let them have their own way. Before agreeing to follow their lead, check the direction in which you're all heading. It could be you won't enjoy other people's choices or decisions at all. You need to be more alert to what's going on around you and more decisive about your own actions.

You aren't making the impact on people you normally do and this might worry you. Someone may call for a semi-official meeting and although not everyone is available to attend, this could give you the chance you've been waiting for to put forward a few new ideas. If others aren't quick to take you up on your proposals, give them a chance! People need time to think over your suggestions.

There is something about today's date you should remember. If it's a birthday or anniversary you could be arranging a surprise for someone special. There's a degree of expectation and anticipation in the air but don't worry about a secret getting out. Your partner or someone who is equally as close to you has no idea of what you have in store for them this evening!

A female friend has the knowledge or experience to help you advance your career or a cause that's important to you. Relationships are good today; you have the happy knack of saying all the right things at the right times. Someone in the family needs reassurance. You sense what's on their mind and you pick up on things very quickly. Loved ones are glad of your sensitivity.

Your mind is working in amazing ways but not everything you're thinking about is sensible or practical! You would much rather dream the day away and ignore any of the more tedious commitments you should be getting on with. As it is you haven't the energy to put into your everyday affairs so you might as well enjoy the world of fantasy for a wee while!

Keep everything open and above board in the money department. If anyone promises to find you a way to get something cheaper or to make a quick profit, have nothing to do with it. If you put your trust in someone you don't know very well, not only are you leaving yourself open to deceit but you could get into a lot of bother.

Don't be shy about asking for what you want. Avoid the strong temptation to take a step back and give someone else the chance to grab an offer or opportunity you would love. If you feel a colleague or associate is dishonest or unreliable, contact the ones in authority who need to know about this. Only do so if you have evidence to support your claim.

A male friend or colleague won't get away with it if he thinks he can make a fool out of you. Others may not give you credit for being so astute and perceptive. Someone will try to influence you but you will not fall for their scheming ways. Even if some proposals look good on the surface dig deeper down to the roots. Trust your instincts.

If a friendship or close relationship isn't all you'd like it to be at least your working life will compensate. You may not be getting on too well with someone you've known for years. In fact you might get the impression they've been brooding over a grievance for some time. At least in your career, you know exactly what a new associate is up to and you like their way of thinking.
