Buried attitudes and motivations could surface, and in particular, those relating to domestic and family issues. You may not have realised how deeply ingrained some of these opinions have become, and so this is a good opportunity to look at them in an objective manner. Career and professional matters also require your attention, as you consolidate your efforts on the tasks and projects before you. At the same time, be ready for the unexpected - you can draw on both sensitivity and reasoning power to help you along.

A short trip or excursion will be much more enjoyable if you invite a sibling or friend to accompany you. It will do you good to get away from your usual routine for a little while, and as you take in and enjoy new vistas, it will be very invigorating. An old friend or acquaintance encountered now will brighten up your day and they could even provide you with a link to your past. Whatever the outcome, you will be glad you embarked upon this journey.

If there is something you want to say, then today is the day to say it – write, talk, teach, lecture, and inform others. You are articulate and fluent, so do not miss the opportunity to express your thoughts and ideas in whatever medium you feel most comfortable with. You seem to have a sixth sense about what others need to hear, and so you are able to bring just the right tone to your voice or resonance to your words – what a communicator!

A close female associate is the cause of some exasperation, so you decide to do something positive to improve matters. It would be without purpose to loose your cool, a quiet word is a much more effective solution and it will not provoke an argument. Trust your own instincts in how you deal with this situation and you will not go far wrong. It may take a few attempts to get your point across, but don’t give up, your patience will pay off.

Any tension between you and a friend or contemporary can be alleviated by a friendly chat to clear the air. You are not one to hold on to a grudge or harbour ill feeling, you’d much rather discuss you differences and come to a mutual agreement. Congenial relationships are important to you, so until this one is back on track, you will not be able to concentrate on your usual routine. Take the initiative and invite this person for a coffee or drink – you'll be glad you did.

Mentally you are on top form and able to convey your business propositions in a very creative and intelligible manner. Your explanations are clear and concise, and you can state your aspirations in a practical and yet innovative style. Should a superior question any of your suggestions, just calmly go over the key points again, and this will give your proposals the best chance of being accepted and implemented. You are also open to embrace the ideas of others – and this will surely get them on your side.

Take care you do not endanger your chance of happiness through a misplaced or over-zealous need for perfection. To constantly strive for excellence is an admirable quality, as long as it is not taken to extremes or allowed to become the cause of anxiety. Be realistic in your ambitions and set yourself attainable goals. In this way, you will be able to fully enjoy your achievements, and be relaxed and content in the process. What more could you ask for!

Exchanging views and discussing intellectually stimulating subjects will enhance your understanding and expand your mind. Learning about the customs and traditions of different cultures may capture your interest, so look around and see how you can broaden your field of experience, and stimulate new ideas. However much this interest excites you, be careful not to get too carried away to the detriment of other aspects of your life. Others may not share your enthusiasm, and would perhaps prefer to confer about more immediate and practical matters – such as any joint enterprises.

Don’t allow a difference of opinion between you and a partner or close friend to jeopardise your relationship. If something is bothering either of you it would be better to openly say so. Keeping it to yourselves will only serve to prolong any friction, so it is best to deal with it before it gets completely out of proportion. Have a long talk, tell them what is on your mind certainly, but also express your affection for them. This will soon get your relationship back on companionable terms once again.

A preoccupation over a health or work matter will be greatly alleviated if you share your disquiet with someone you trust. Perhaps you have been taking your responsibilities far too onerously and may need to lighten up. On the other hand, you may not be adequately valuing your self and your gifts, and may need some reassurance. An objective viewpoint is just what you need, and it will offer you the chance to enjoy a fresh perspective on what seems to have become a troublesome issue.

The original innovative part of you is demanding expression, so give full vent to your artistic and creative talents. The possibilities are endless – write, paint, sing, garden or partake in lively conversation – the world is your oyster so don’t limit yourself. If your first endeavour does not fulfil your ambitions, then try another. Let your imagination and intuition guide you and you’re sure to be led to the right place at the right time to find a befitting outlet to satisfy your creative impulses.

If a family matter has caused some recent dissension, you are able to say just the right thing to placate the situation. Harmonious relationships at home are the basis of your happiness and you will do everything in your power to keep things running smoothly here. A sudden interest in joining a group or association with an altruistic purpose could open up a whole new field of endeavour and bring you into contact with many interesting people and varied experiences, so don’t be reticent.
