An underlying restless streak will influence all you do throughout the day. Be sure to avoid anyone in your world who tends to be straight laced and pedantic. You'd rather make your own choices on how best to use your time and energy; this is not a good day for teamwork with friends or anyone else. Changes you're thinking of making may cost more than you had in mind.

People who try to manipulate or influence you don't seem to realise the stubborn person they're up against. If someone is attempting to force your hand, you're more likely to make decisions that go against their wishes. Anything which centres on finance or legal matters needs further study and consideration. Speculation is particularly risky now and should be avoided.

A get together could mark the beginning of a new friendly or even romantic relationship or a partnership of a business variety. Sharing time with people who are broad minded and informative will give you new ideas for the future. A loved one seems about to make a wrong decision or foolish choice; offer some gentle advice if that's the case. Social activities bring pleasure in the evening.

Forget nine to five, you need to be more flexible at work to get through an extra heavy workload. Tread with care when you come up against someone with too much time on their hands and gossip on their minds. You won't have the time or inclination to get involved. Minor ailments could put a strain on you and interfere with your work; you're determined not to fritter away your energy.

Overcoming differences with your mate or partner might not be as easy as you first thought. A small matter which was hardly worth thinking about seems to have escalated into a major issue. Be sure not to agree to take work home you don't have time to complete. Impulsive words could cost you dearly. Watch what you say. At home, this evening, let others take the reins for a change.

If you'd hoped to get the family to agree on some forthcoming festive plans, you're going to be disappointed. To have your home life steeped in harmony seems like something that exists only in your imagination these days. Make allowance for the peculiar mood of an older relative. Your boss or a colleague isn't helping either as they may make last minute changes to some business arrangements and this means letting down someone in the family.

Discussions will go the way you want them to if you're thinking of improving your home, rearranging or moving to a new address. It could be a loved one's mood proving contagious but it is likely you will have a craving to do something different. Your usually daily activities won't interest you at all. Don't keep your desires locked up inside. Let others know what you're hoping for and you never know: someone might be keen to make your wish come true!

Using your imagination plays a useful role in both saving your cash or spending it in a clever fashion. The exception could come late in the day when you might feel tempted to accept a potentially costly invitation. If you're working on anything serious, don't be embarrassed to go over the work twice or thrice to make sure you've got it perfect. Friends from long ago and far away suddenly get in touch.

Don't even think about shirking your responsibilities, instead aim to make a good impression on those who matter. These next few days will bring some excellent opportunities to prove to senior colleagues how ready you are for promotion. Even if you need to work overtime to reach a deadline, show willing. Put every ounce into advancing your personal hopes. A touch of romance keeps your spirits bright, this evening.

Someone's being accused of an underhand action, their deviousness could affect you personally. Even if you're certain of their guilt this person is cunning enough to be able to get away with it. This is unlikely to be a particularly smooth sailing day. Don't get concerned if routine matters are overlooked, you can deal with these and catch up tomorrow. You sometimes feel you have far too much to worry about!

Someone has ideas above their station; swallow any angry reply when responding to their suggestions or requests. If you can keep the peace it will be so much better not only for you but for everyone. Before long someone who has been superior or egotistical will see the error of their ways. Be the first to assure them there are no hard feelings. Don't fritter away your money on unnecessary luxury items.

Refuse to let a colleague talk you into doing some extra work. Creative jobs you can deal with in privacy will be more satisfying. If there has been controversy between you and a partner, resist the temptation to play mind games or this could drag it on even longer. If an evening out smacks of loud surroundings or lively company you might opt instead, for a quiet night in.
