Your patience could be stretched to the limits as you find yourself constantly at odds with a friend or partner. This spell of tension will not last if you keep your thoughts to yourself. Any comments made will not be forgotten and could be brought up again in the future and turned against you. It won't be easy to keep your lips sealed but it's what you have to do to avoid ongoing discord!

If you are working today you might feel you're in a tug of war with a colleague or superior. It might seem as if the rope is largely in favour of the other side but before showing any resentment remember: looks can be deceptive! Someone is not as confident or as sure of themselves as they're making out. If you're spending the day at home, push professional and other worries out of your mind and enjoy some quality time with your family.

As you start planning ways to improve your life, a friend or someone you work with could be thinking along similar lines. For this reason it's worth joining forces with others in planning future concerns. There is a distinct possibility you will be making some job changes soon as career objectives are highlighted in a big way. Whatever is instigated today, your achievements are likely to surpass your expectations.

Housemates may object to plans you put forward; try to listen to what they're telling you. Could it be you aren't thinking clearly today or you're making decisions without considering everything involved? If you stand alone against a group of others who are trying to discourage or dissuade you, it is time to admit you may have made a mistake. The sooner you do so, the sooner relationships will return to normality!

An animated discussion could swiftly turn into a full scale row if you aren't careful. You might find it hard to work out when spirited conversation turns into conflict and a sense of harmony suddenly turns hostile. This suggests the way to deal with others today will be tactfully. In other words: keep everything light hearted. Avoid touchy topics. Keep personal relationships sweet and be patient.

Your charm and wonderful sense of humour will have those spending the day with you eating out of the palm of your hands! Everything seems to go your way and you should make the most of this happy situation to persuade others to go along with your current plans and ideas. Inspiring talks will fire your imagination and this will reflect in your relaxed and carefree outlook.

You're feeling optimistic and hopeful but is this making you too confident and careless? Mistakes can and will be made if you jump into things without due care and attention. Other people might suggest a few changes which are well worth considering. Rather than objecting to the ideas being discussed, it would be worth paying particular attention to a practical and sensible friend.

You may feel slightly suspicious of a surprise offer. Take the chance to test the water before walking away from this opportunity. There are a lot of talks and discussions going on in your immediate world. These may lead to something important. Whatever you decide on now there will be few if any obstacles blocking progress. Developments are fortunate in that they pave the way for new and better things to come.

Private matters proceed so much better than expected; this brings a sense of tranquillity and optimism. You always need to feel you have a degree of freedom in all areas of your life. Today you feel close relationships are improving and you understand each other perfectly. You feel driven to pursue personal goals which have eluded you in the past now you have the support of those who matter behind you.

In all associations: professional and personal, you will need to tread with care. At times you might feel you are always putting yourself out for others and there's not much scope for freedom. You might be straining at the bit wanting to get on with your own concerns but unable to do so because of the demands of those around you. Any tension will start to ease as the day works its way to a close.

Travel causes frustrations when journeys are plagued with delays, long intervals of doing nothing and general hold ups. You may have an agenda you're striving to meet but it is unlikely this will go as planned. You can always pick up the phone and postpone some meetings or arrangements. Keep extra alert to avoid further mistakes and complications.

If you need to give attention to joint interests or financial matters, prepare yourself for a battle with a partner! You might do all you can to avoid a row but this would mean letting others get away with actions or conduct you don't approve of. A tense situation could lead to recriminations and unless this is resolved, a break up could occur.
