Prepare yourself for a few false starts and expect someone to give the thumbs down to what you think is a good idea. Make sure you’ve copyrighted or at least protected your interests or you could find your rejected idea cropping up as somebody else’s later.

Although not everything goes your way and runs smoothly, you will at least gain positive insight from any negative experiences in a personal sense. Greater self-confidence and faith in your long-term plans and projects puts you on course for success.

Plans that you agree in the morning may be scuppered by noon when you’ll have to face the fact you can never agree on the costs or legalities. All is not lost, however, when a last-minute suggestion could save the day. Persevere and you’ll get there.

There are so many irritating trivialities circulating around you, you could get distracted from the main thrust of your life. You’re inclined to take things far too personally and, as such, take offence where none was ever intended in the first place.

You can’t understand why someone decides one thing one minute and changes their mind the next. Chew the fat and talk things over. A loved-one is worried about the amount of time you’re spending on outside activities. Say the right words to ease their mind.

Underneath your cool, composed image, there’s a sensitive side to your nature not a lot of people know about. Not so, today. Whether by choice, circumstance or chums winding you up, you’re tempted to give way to emotion. Scream, shout, get it out of your system.

A fine even positive period for pooling resources with others on a social, professional or financial level. Be prepared for someone who knows you well to behave very selfishly around noon but don’t let them hold back your own plans for advancement.

Workmates are the worst offenders when it comes to hypocrisy. They complain that they are hard-done-by and then immediately treat you the same way. Get on with tasks as best you can and expect a financial incentive to make the sacrifice well worth it.

Folk look to you for leadership and guidance. You’ll get more out of a everyday situation by playing an active role whilst some healthy competition adds to your pleasure. Don’t allow your arrogance to rise to the fore when humility is the done thing.

Personal plans progress nicely until someone tries to block you. Even if they have a right to do so, you may end up resenting their interference. Lie low behind the scenes to gain the fastest results. Good news is thrust upon a member of the family.

Continue to mix and enjoy the company of friends as their unstinting support will help you progress where a fear of failure has held you back in the past. Use Friday to dismiss thoughts of defeat and mistrust by referring to the guidance other people offer.

You want to shake someone and tell them to get real. You can see them ending up where you once were. Maybe they have to experience the down-side of life to understand it. If they want to deceive themselves nothing you say or do will retrieve their dire situation.
