You appreciate a new neighbour or colleague's independent spirit. You have a lot in common and you can see this turning into a good friendship. If you're single, there is no mistaking the chemistry between you. You've never been interested in having a submissive, possessive or unchallenging partner. You've always wanted to be with someone who stimulates your imagination as well as your libido. So far they are ticking all the right boxes.

It can be frustrating when a partner keeps raking up past disagreements especially when these were supposed to have been settled. They seem to have forgotten promises that were made about not bringing certain contentious matters up ever again, but you haven't. If they can't keep to their word, you are justifiably wondering how much longer you can keep them in your life. A situation you're finding hard to live with needs changing.

A sincere apology can go a long way to improving relationships. If you didn't mean to hurt someone or lashed out with words of anger in the heat of a stormy moment, let them know you regret it. Speak from the heart and don't be afraid to let your feelings show. Be grateful too if they are willing to forgive you and be sure not to make the same mistake again.

A project you've been thinking about for some time could get off the ground today. Either money will come your way which will help finance your plans or someone will give you a gentle push in the right direction. They know that if they don't do this, you will never get started. You feel lucky to have some wonderful people in your life and you will be grateful for all the help you can get.

Rather than look for reasons when someone announces they are making changes, let them see you won't hold them back. You may not understand what has brought this situation about but if anyone feels restless and in need of something different, it isn't your place to question their motives. Neither do you want to be the one they later blame for having stood in their way. Instead you will encourage other people to do what they feel they have to do.

Whether new responsibilities are permanent or temporary in nature, all eyes are on you to see how you are coping. This may call for a certain amount of adjustment on your part. Normally you prefer to work quietly in the background. You may also have a tendency to take long breaks throughout the day if you can get away with it. Today, there will be fewer breaks and longer periods of productive activity.

An unexpected compliment from an older relative or senior colleague will give your confidence a boost. You've worked hard to make a success of your life and these efforts are now starting to pay off. Someone might mention you have changed a lot in the past few years. They admire your strength and stamina. When you think about it, you do have plenty to be proud about and you are more confident now than you have ever been.

Those in high places are on the lookout for a respectful, stable personality. Because of the importance of the contracts they are taking on, they are likely to shy away from the unconventional. If you are hoping to impress your boss or a senior colleague it might pay to tone down any joking remarks and to act as if you are the professional they are looking for. Think before you speak and negotiations will go well.

You're becoming more aware of unconscious thinking patterns that govern your actions. Ideas and beliefs instilled in your childhood continue to make you think a certain way. Now you're starting to question whether you really believe certain things to be true. Or is it what adults in your younger days drummed into you? A philosophical friend will be supportive and sympathetic and they might help you make sense of your jumbled thoughts.

Whether it is at work, at home or in a community venture, teamwork will be the best way to get results. Sharing skills and experience will move a project forward very quickly. There's something special about being a member of a successful team. Your sensible ideas and practical help will ensure all schemes you are a part of stand an excellent chance of coming to fruition. Some money could be made through selling a family heirloom but do you really want to part with it?

Changes to do with your job could attract a lot of speculation and even opposition. Don't commit yourself to publicly opposing anything just yet. It could turn out these will be to your benefit. Having professional people who are willing to pull a few strings to help you up the career ladder will make all the difference to your future prospects. You may never have realised how much a boss really thought of you until now.

Material possessions are not necessarily a measure of someone's wealth or financial stability. A person is trying to impress you with their success but appearances can be deceptive. They could in fact be up to their eyeballs in debt and it won't be long before they will be finding excuses to borrow from you. Don't let anyone pull the wool over your eyes. Remember: not everyone is as honest as they may look.
