It will take a while to settle into a new job or group arrangement. A lot can be learned through listening to what others have to say and watching how they approach the work. Your own ideas aren't without originality but this is a time to observe from behind the scenes. A skilled professional will offer to show you the ropes.

Someone close has something on their mind. They want to talk but they're finding it hard to broach a difficult subject. Encourage them to just come out with it. Whether they are concerned about money, health or a family matter, you will be able to help them cope with a set of circumstances they haven't been able to come to terms with.

If anyone asks if your cup is half empty or half full, it will be the latter. A sense of hope and optimism has you firmly in its grip. You feel everything is about to go your way and your path ahead looks much brighter. Sometimes it seems like your Guardian Angel is protecting your every move. You have that strong feeling you aren't alone.

Although you could do with a break, you won't shirk your responsibilities. You do intend to take some time off but not until duty has been dealt with. Just be wary of unproven whiz-kid suggestions as these could cause delay and havoc. Stick to the tried and tested.

It will feel, at times, as if you are running around in circles and getting nowhere. This will have a lot to do with the fact that you can't seem to get a moment to yourself. Try to keep others who are wanting answers or replies to important concerns, at arm's length. This is not a time to rush into anything.

You could never find it in you to walk away from someone in need. In recent weeks you have given a lot of attention to those who appeared lost or overwhelmed with responsibilities they could not handle. Your help was welcomed with open arms. Now it might seem as if it is being taken for granted.

Friends are acting strangely. You wonder if you have done something to upset someone. Don't get others wrong. There could be a special treat in store for you soon and when you put all the pieces of the jigsaw together, you should get a good idea on what this might be. You might even arrange a similar surprise of your own.

A time limit for making up your mind about a relationship issue hangs over you like a dark shadow you can't shake off. There's a need to decide one way or another before the day is through. Despite this it would be a shame to miss out on other things going on that would delight you.

You are reluctant to ignore it when you see someone trying to muddle their way through a few problems. That's why a major part of the day is likely to be taken up with these serious concerns. You may need to reshuffle your schedule to give your time to helping out a friend or neighbour in need.

In spite of extra responsibilities falling on your shoulders, you are mentally in the frame of mind to take on anything. You are confident in your abilities and certain you will be able to reach a special goal. You are also happy to be able to help someone out of a minor crisis.

You have a wonderful chance to be still and reconnect with your spirit. It may not be easy to tone yourself down to a more relaxed frame of mind but from a health point of view it will do you the world of good to take advantage of this rare occasion to enjoy some peace and quiet.

With your thoughts firmly fixed on tying up loose ends of the past few days, you could unwittingly give your approval for some plans without really taking in what's involved. Some of these could prove costly. Unless money is no object, force yourself to listen to the ideas others are suggesting.
