There's no harm in taking an interest in someone else's affairs if that's what they ask of you. You could become deeply involved in matters which you have not had anything to do with until now. If you see their future potential and you are interested in continuing, this will do you good. If you're being pulled into potentially problematic matters, limit the time you spend on them.

You will listen to the ideas other people put to you today but it doesn't mean you'll go along with them! The last thing you want is for others to drag you into areas that don't concern you. Refuse to let someone else take the driver's seat. You will gain more personally, through choosing how you spend your day. At work avoid mistakes by double checking everything yourself.

If you are working, a controversial issue is starting to cause contention between the ranks. The tense atmosphere is starting to get to you. You may feel concerned about your job or the future of a work related venture. If you feel a colleague is having a bad influence on others, it might be time to talk to those in high places. Whatever happens, don't let yourself be associated with the troublemakers.

The changes you are thinking about will affect other people; you can't act on impulse as you are tempted to do. There could be some troubling undercurrents in a personal or professional relationship. You might sense your aims don't concur with a partner's. If you want others to approve of your plans, you need to be diplomatic as you make your suggestions. This will all take time and of course, patience!

You will be delighted with the social or professional opportunities about to come your way. You might get the backing and support of influential people to get started on a long term project. Those in positions of authority seem more adventurous and flexible than they have been in the past. Your only problem is you need to postpone other arrangements to fit in new commitments.

If you are travelling now or in the near future, double check all details. Get those who are journeying with you to verify their passports are up to date and all travel insurance documents are correct. People might accuse you of being pernickety; you are simply using your common sense. When it turns out you have helped prevent a future problem, others will be glad you were so careful!

You need to find more balance between career and family matters. Currently you feel under pressure in a number of areas. There is not much scope for romance or pleasure when you have so many responsibilities. Until you have sorted out your current obligations, you must refuse to take on anything more. If anything you need to reduce commitments, not add to them!

Don't be too quick to lower your defences when someone praises you and shows you unexpected respect. Stick to the facts when discussing important matters. Someone wants to know your feelings and they could persuade you to say more than you ought. It is advisable to think before you speak at all times today. A colleague or workmate will use whatever means are at their disposal to gain knowledge of information that for now, should remain a secret.

Problems linked with your career might seem insurmountable until a colleague steps in and helps. Any feelings of inadequacy will swiftly vanish when others admit they too were having problems with the same tasks. This could be the start of something good when you come up with a new and more effective way to handle subsequent important jobs.

Important arrangements involving the future may be changed at the last moment. You feel impatient with people who can't seem to make a definite decision. Your attempts to get others to commit and move on are frustrated. Not only are others determined to do things their way but they are blocking your progress. Maybe you are dealing with the wrong people.

Your domestic and professional schedules could be so crowded you wonder whether you can fit everything in. The days seem to be getting shorter or you are taking on far too much! Rather than asking for help as you should be doing, you might soldier on independently. Don't be so stubborn. Hand over some of your commitments to someone you can trust.

If you are feeling moody it could be because of a money matter preying on your mind. Recent expenditures may have left you temporarily broke or routine expenses are rising. This has a negative affect on your budget. Your money situation is changing and financial problems will be of a short term nature. Even so you know you must make new financial plans to suit new conditions.
