A situation makes you uncomfortable. A senior colleague or someone in a powerful position is having too much influence on the proceedings. This is a sensitive time for you. You can see where others are coming from. You understand how they feel but have they considered other people's feelings? It is unlikely.

A partner or housemate will be at pains to say they never meant to hurt, disappoint or upset you. A decision they make will take you completely by surprise. An admittance by them of not having been considerate, kind or thoughtful would have been a more realistic statement. You now feel you won't ever be able to trust them again.

Your boss or a senior colleague is rewarding their favourite people with the best jobs. This does not seem fair for those who have put in years of dedication and are clearly more experienced. Gather support to fight against corrupt systems. This could be the shake-up needed to get people thinking outside the box.

You sense someone is hiding something from you. They will not admit to this even if you questioned them directly. In fact they might mock you for being so suspicious. You've always trusted your intuition and this does not change now. Make it your intention to find out more.

It doesn't matter how close someone is to you, they need to know and accept you can't always be expected to do their bidding. You may have problems sticking to your own agenda when demands from others leave you with no space for yourself. You need to put your foot down and say no.

Someone has deceived you and let you down. You have been misled and you realise now you put your trust in the wrong person. You're annoyed with yourself for having made this mistake but you can look on it as a learning experience. These things happen.

A new neighbour or colleague may not be the person they first seemed to be. Their honesty comes under some doubt and you might wonder why you had trusted them too quickly. A long talk will help solve a problem that's been bothering a few friends or workmates for quite some time.

A lick of paint can make an incredible difference. You've always made good use of your resources and that includes making do with materials lying around the house to spruce up your home. Friends and family will applaud your ability to do a lot with a little.

Requests and demands from others are starting to increase. It doesn't matter how busy you might be, you still won't turn anyone away. The best gift you can give yourself for your birthday, whether it is this week or a few weeks away is to find the courage to say no and to make more time for yourself.

You are not causing a scandal by following your conscience. You're up against some argumentative and difficult people. Someone will hint that your insistence on standing your ground will damage your reputation. It will do the opposite. Respect will come your way because you refuse to yield.

Continue your involvement in group related activities and this will bring you a lot of personal satisfaction. Completing jobs already begun will leave more room in your life fort those new projects you are already considering. You have energy in abundance and you will want to make good use of it.

You have almost lost touch with your own aims, hopes and desires when you've been putting the needs of a partner or close friend in front of your own for too long now. There may be a need to step back from this relationship and spend some time alone to reconnect with your inner-self.
