Another hectic day is in store; your thoughts are on domestic matters even if you are working. At home you may be up to your eyes in samples and other household materials. Housemates may sigh and groan when they see how serious you are about your intentions. Once you club together as a team you will all enjoy the hard work that faces you!

One area to keep a close eye on now is finances. If you haven't been in agreement over a joint monetary agreement or shared expenditure, check your partner isn't using subtle methods to get their own way. Control your emotions when discussions get personal. Staying calm will help you notice what other people aren't saying. Reading between the lines gives you a better idea of the situation.

You aren't in the mood to join others in whatever they are getting up to. You would be quite happy if they were to carry on without you. Others will get together and try to persuade you to get involved in a joint scheme. If you feel your life is full and you can't take on any more, resist this kind of coercion. You need a little time to do some quiet thinking and the more peaceful things are the better.

It doesn't matter if you can't get people to agree with you this morning. By noon you will notice someone is starting to change their mind. Success will arrive if you stand by your opinions. Showing even the slightest sign of uncertainty will be your undoing! A friend who lives out of the area may make a surprise visit. This could mean having to alter your plans as there is so much you will want to discuss.

Being shown respect and appreciation for your personal talents will make you feel inspired and alive. In your friendships it will be a relief to receive all the understanding and cooperation you could wish for. Being given the chance to put your imagination and creative skills into your work means a lot to you. If you've been thinking about making some changes in your private life you could come up with some good ideas.

If a friend or colleague has been too outspoken lately, they are in for a surprise. It is time you got your own views across. Although other people won't want to listen at first, you must insist they take note of your suggestions. Their thoughts will benefit from being balanced with your own observations. Your decisive attitude will make a big impact on those around you.

Think about sorting out your priorities now before life takes over and you don't know where you are. You might feel overloaded with duties and responsibilities. Some of these could be handled by others who aren't as busy as you. Making additional promises to others will only add to the pressure you are already under. There's a two lettered word you don't use very often but you are going to have to say 'no' a few times today!

You may have to postpone arrangements already made in order to fulfil a work related assignment. Friends will grumble slightly if they feel you have let them down but they will reluctantly agree you have other priorities. If you have to reschedule romantic plans your mate had been looking forward to, an apologetic card or bouquet of flowers might help keep them sweet!

A sudden lull gives you the impression this may be the calm before the storm. You may be right. Other than a few minor upsets or irritations, not a lot seems to be happening. Any tension you are feeling may have something to do with having to wait for the results of a mortgage, loan application or other financial deal. There is no easy way to deal with the waiting other than turn your mind to alternative things.

If your partner or another loved one seemed preoccupied lately and you wondered why, everything will be revealed today. It is entirely possible their working life has put them under a lot of pressure. Or they may have had a more personal worry on their mind. Whatever the reason, you will be glad to see everything is now returning to normal. You may wish they had confided in you earlier.

Thinking about the future, your thoughts take you along avenues you haven't previously considered. New joint arrangements suddenly seem appealing. Now is a good time to put your ideas to your partner and others who matter. They will need time to consider your proposals. Let others know you are willing to consider their suggestions too and you will be happy with what is eventually agreed on.

Someone nearby needs a listening ear or some form of assistance. Without thinking, you will make yourself available for those who may need you. In some circumstances you are prepared to help others in whatever trivial way whenever they should need it. Today is that type of day. What others will also see is your ability to make adjustments and to compromise in order to adapt to the demands being made of you.
