A business or social engagement you had thought would be a success could turn out the opposite. Either the small numbers who do turn up make it rather a flop or in general things just won't go very smoothly. In which case people will understand if you decide to finish early. Also some disturbing factors within a professional relationship need to be considered more carefully.

To feel as if you're getting somewhere, you might have to knuckle down to getting through as much as possible. A curious atmosphere of toil and repose exists when during the daylight hours you are more or less confined to getting on with everyday responsibilities. In the evening you can do what you want to do which is to retreat from the world in the company of your nearest and dearest!

You're likely to be working alongside people who share your same wave length. This makes it so much easier to make progress than if you had to explain yourself all the time. With everyone thinking along the same lines, jobs which could have taken a lot of time and bother are suddenly made simple. No matter how far you get in your efforts, it will be a pleasure to work with such a friendly team.

Check all appointments to make sure you haven't missed anything. If for instance you're expected to have lunch with a friend, be sure your morning's arrangements will leave you with plenty of time to keep this date. If you can't see yourself being able to make it, postpone such plans well in advance. Unexpected obstacles may have to be overcome later in the day.

Don't give others the impression you aren't bothered when they're upset or disturbed about something. If you ignore their requests and appeals for a heart to heart there is something seriously wrong between you. Rather than walk away from any trouble brewing, face up to the problem immediately. Nip relationship troubles in the bud.

You may have to make an unscheduled trip; the consequences will make any sacrifice made, worth it. You might sometimes wish you could hand over some duties to someone else and leave it to others to make all the decisions. Deep down you know this would bring you no satisfaction at all. A loved one will want to set the pace this evening and in this instance you will be happy to follow your leader!

You need to get to the bottom of an issue that has come between you and a friend or colleague. Somewhere along a line some confusion has left you at crossed swords with one another. Diplomacy is recommended. Try to forgive and forget. You will end the day brighter if you make an effort to placate petty quarrels before they multiply into a minor battle!

There may be a pleasant surprise in that you get to finish some jobs ahead of schedule. In a private matter, a friend is in a position to help or give the advice you feel you need. Don't be too proud to ask. There is still a lot of emphasis on friendships. You will soon be getting together with both new and old friends. In fact once you're in a certain someone's company you won't want to leave them!

There may be a few hitches in a social event or you and a partner may encounter some slight discontent. A mix up in joint arrangements could get the day off to a bad start. Just when everything is sorted, an argument may erupt; you will have nothing to do with this. You're inclined to leave everyone to it but you will probably step in and help resolve the matter. With all this out of the way, the evening should be more peaceful!

Your judgement isn't as good as it could be. Some jobs seem endless. Just when you thought you were home and dried, something crops up to set you back once again. You might wonder: is there ever going to be an end to this constant drain on your energy? The answer is yes but not immediately so. New procedures will be slowly implemented. This will bring a change for the better.

Someone close might want to get a few things off their chest; it is a money matter of concern to them most. No matter how you feel about it, you should hear them out. The issue worrying them is something that has also been bothering you. Although you aren't keen on facing up to this problem, between you, you should be able to straighten it out.

If you're in the closing stages of a legal transaction don't drop your guard for a moment. Transactions could be linked with a financial or divorce settlement or a property or business deal. This is not an uneventful time in your life. Things are starting to change. The security you have become accustomed to is becoming a little vague around the edges and you must prepare yourself to get used to new circumstances.
