It is unlike you to get too bogged down in catching up with outstanding chores. Today there are various jobs you would like to get out of the way but too many perhaps to fit in to one day! Deal with what you can when you can but don't push yourself past sensible limits. In the evening focus firmly on filling your hours with relaxing pastimes and cheerful companions!

Take an interest if someone tries to get you to try a different method to tackle routine tasks. You will discover that just because others have their ways of doing things it doesn't mean they are wrong. In fact, listening to and observing those around you today could successfully have you updating your own thinking. It will take time but you will adapt to new routines.

Plans you are making with someone special seem to have a 'sometimes on - sometimes off' quality about them. You are starting to wonder where you stand. Could it be you are expecting more than your partner is willing to give? If one of you is more serious than the other and this is unlikely to change, you need to be realistic. It is time to issue an ultimatum.

Someone might say something on impulse and you are taken aback by their words. Are you reading too much into a conversation? Don't spend too long preying on imaginary slights. Time will prove their words weren't to be taken seriously. If faced with an awkward situation at any time today, turn on the charm. A sense of humour might come in useful too!

There's an extra friendly feel to the day; it looks as if you are spending time with family and friends. The harmonious atmosphere will persist into the evening. A concert or social gathering offers you the chance to widen your circle of friends or meet someone new if you are single. If you are working today, conditions are beneficial and a promotion or bonus is likely.

Someone who has recently dismissed your ideas or proposals now shows a distinct change in attitude. This will come as something as a surprise if you had thought their last decision was final. You may have missed a few good opportunities due to the delay. Forget this, ignore your frustration, be prepared to start anew and you will accomplish a lot through working harmoniously with others.

You could be up to your eyes with home improvements at this time. Be sure you and anyone else who is involved works at a steady and sensible pace. You can avoid careless mistakes and accidents by taking your time. Also keep your mind on what you are doing. A longer term project is in your thoughts as the day progresses and if this involves travel, you won't want to think about anything else!

Good news relating to finances gets the day off to a wonderful start. You are a cautious and stable person so you aren't likely to let success go to your head. If you feel life would improve if you furthered your knowledge in some way, now is the time to look into the options. A job might be started but put to one side in favour of something else.

A good day to encourage frank and open discussion between you and those you care about. If lately you have felt a breach growing between you, the longer you ignore it, the bigger the crack will get. Looking right through someone who is desperate to talk to you will only give the impression you aren't interested. Mend broken fences in relationships. Don't disregard problems any longer.

Arrangements are questioned or methods criticised with some justification. A colleague's attitude makes it impossible for you to respond to a senior's queries as helpfully as you would like. You see something in others that reminds you not everyone is polite and respectful. Think about renegotiating issues relevant to your business and cut ties with people who are doing your reputation no good.

Acting on a spontaneous whim could result in a degree of disorder and confusion. This won't bother you unduly but there are others in your life who need time to get used to the idea of change. Whether you are keen to give your home a face lift, alter routine arrangements or clear out an accumulation of rubbish you won't be very popular if you don't consult other people first!

This is a good time to explain your desires to anyone you feel might help bring them to fruition. A male friend or relative will give you a timely tip and this will help you press ahead with a special concern. It is quite remarkable how much effort other people are willing to make on your behalf. Not only this, but you may not have realised how deeply someone cares for you.
