Your intuition will be thrown off. When in doubt, wait for hard facts to arrive before rendering a decision. Don't be surprised if a manipulator flies beneath your radar. When dealing with new people, it pays to use an extra dose of precaution. Normally, your radar would go off when you meet a shady character. Your built in security system could be faulty, causing you to make an error in judgment. Try not to be too hard on yourself if someone does manage to take advantage of your generosity.

A group meeting could be delayed or cancelled. This will be a major inconvenience, but it can't be helped. Instead of dwelling on your frustration, find an amusing diversion. People aren't terribly reliable right now, so it may be better to plan a solitary activity. Watch a favourite movie from childhood, order some delicious takeaway food or visit a museum. Do something geared towards satisfying your own needs. You're tired of conferring with others to make plans.

This is not a good time to make a career move. Several opportunities are available, but you may not be able to choose which job is right for you. Table your decision until next month. There is one exception to this rule: If you're thinking about returning to a company where you previously worked, then go for it. You'll fall right back into the rhythm of things with no trouble at all. If someone asks you to run for office, decline. The position could be more trouble than it's worth.

Communications concerning legal matters, travel and education could get muddled. This is not a good time to file a lawsuit or schedule a trip. Wait until next month to enrol in college or sign up for a course. There's no point in committing to a plan that will be eventually changed. Use this time to formulate a strategy for the year ahead. It's time to expand your horizons. Whether this means moving to a new place, getting a different job or taking up a creative hobby is immaterial.

Money from a loan, grant or scholarship will be delayed. If you're going to pay some bills, you will need to juggle your budget. Someone who owes you money may try to avoid their responsibility. Don't allow them to drop the matter out of guilt. You made this loan in good faith. There's no reason you should release them from their obligation, especially since you've had to make financial sacrifices. Avoid discussing stressful matters. Next month will bring the answers you need.

Avoid making promises, as your schedule is apt to change at a moment's notice. The more flexible you are, the happier you will be. Emergencies and last minute changes will wreak havoc with your schedule. If you're in a serious relationship, it would be wise to tell your partner that more professional demands are being placed upon you. It may be necessary to spend long hours at the office. Alternatively, you may be called to cover for an ailing colleague. Work will slow down next month.

Talking to colleagues will be an exercise in futility. Misunderstandings and scheduling conflicts have a way of disrupting the workplace. Even fellow workers who normally are cooperative will be slow to help. Don't take it personally. Circumstances at your job are about to change, causing everyone to feel nervous. Instead of worrying about things you can't control, focus on doing the best you can with limited resources. If anyone dares complain, you'll be quick to silence them.

Speculation and gambling is not advised. Focus on conserving your resources instead. The urge to walk on the wild side will be powerful, but it's important to rein in these impulses. When it comes to romance, it is easy to misread signals. Someone who is always flirting with you has no intention of embarking on a relationship. Instead of letting this joker play on your heartstrings, cut things off. If you're looking for love find somebody who is interested in a serious commitment.

Avoid making important decisions regarding home and family. Domestic matters are still in flux. Just when you think you've worked out a schedule, something else will change. It may feel like you're always on call. Serving as a child's chauffer or personal assistant could wear on your nerves. Alternatively, you might have to reschedule a parent's medical appointments. It's even possible you will have to stay home from work to cope with big repairs. Stay calm and carry on.

It may be difficult to maintain an upbeat attitude. Small disappointments and annoyances have a way of disrupting the simplest routines. Instead of clinging stubbornly to a certain way of doing things, be flexible. Cut corners when it's necessary. Skip steps when you are pressed for time. Nobody will deduct points from your performance, because they will be equally harried. Life will eventually go back to normal, but right now you have to roll with the punches. Treat it as an exercise in versatility.

Your judgment about financial matters could be flawed. This isn't the right time to make big purchases. If you have to replace a broken computer or phone, ask about the return policy. Keep the receipt. You might even want to take out a warrantee. Expensive purchases can be disappointing. If you want a raise or a better paid job, wait until next month. Opportunities for increasing your income will be much more favourable then. Employers have a way of exaggerating claims right now.

You have a way of sending mixed signals. People can't get a handle on your true personality. Steer clear of romantic entanglements and job interviews. You don't want to give anyone the wrong idea. You're trying to sort out your feelings about a confusing personal situation. Until you get a handle on your emotions, it will be difficult to set new priorities. Therefore, take it easy and stop putting pressure on yourself. The answers you seek will arrive next month.
