You might feel ecstatic about a happy romantic or family development; you wish the world could share your joy. A glum friend seems to resent your cheerfulness and might try to make you aware of others who aren't so lucky. Being happy is not a crime, no matter how enthusiastic you are or how excessively you express your feelings. It's not as if you have something to celebrate every day. Enjoy the moment while you can.

If you come across someone who's keen to boast about their possessions or achievements don't join in their game. There are other things far more important than material possessions. You'll gain respect through being modest and refusing to reveal all the personal details of your life. If there is something important to discuss, do this out of public sight. Financial matters are also best carried out confidentially.

Other people don't seem to see the appeal in new schemes that interest you. If more than one person has something derogatory to say about it, there could be a fundamental flaw in the idea. This is what is what's likely to be causing such a negative reaction. On the other hand if most objections come from just one person, they may be exaggerating small imperfections just to distract you from what their true intentions might be.

Take advantage if others are willing to leave you to get on with whatever takes your fancy. If someone suddenly announces they're going away for the day, look on this as a great opportunity to get started on something you've been meaning to do for ages. If you are working, you will prefer to find a quiet corner where you can work in private or if possible to take your work home. You'll be able to do a much better job in the peace of your own four walls.

Be patient if some chores you have to deal with aren't very appealing. They could lead to you having to take a trip out to buy supplies or meet someone who can help you. Being diverted away from your usual routine will suddenly make the task more interesting. Your energy levels will steadily rise with each passing hour. This could mean you will still be on the go quite late into the evening.

If you have made mistakes in the past you will be determined to get everything perfect, this time. Being successful is so important to you that you could be setting yourself and others impossibly high standards. Your insistence on precision, accuracy and detail is causing a lot of tension in relationships. Be sensible and try to keep the demands you make of yourself and others within the realms of reality.

If there are important documents to sign or binding decisions to make don't let anyone push you into anything. The more someone tries to rush you the more you should question the reason behind their urgency. If you're being told an offer made today will not be available tomorrow, it could be a sense of desperation that is making them so pushy. It's essential for you to move forward at a slow and steady pace.

Only when the building blocks are in place will you be able to take advantage of opportunities linked with new projects. Without proper planning, you will not be in a position to make as good progress. Time spent on preparation and making plans will not be time wasted. Even if it's in baby steps, once you have set your sights, knowing you are going in the right direction will help keep you inspired.

Going along with the crowd could take you in a direction opposite to the one you had originally aimed for. Remember there's a need for caution especially when you're with adventurous friends who have been known to inspire you to take risks. It won't be a good idea to make any sudden changes. Get others to share their personal dreams and schemes if they're trying to get you to support their ideas. It will be very interesting.

It's essential to reduce your commitments especially if you're ready to embark on a partnership. It would be pointless taking on a new relationship if you have too much on your plate already. How will you ever be capable of meeting a loved one's needs if you don't put time into getting to know and understand them? If you are in a long term relationship devote a few hours to a partner you've neglected recently.

You cannot eliminate problems that regularly crop up by pretending they don't exist. Burying your head in the sand will not make difficulties go away. Instead of ignoring issues you don't want to face, why not find someone who might be able to help you? If you don't feel equipped to tackle a problem, talk it through. It could turn out that the most unlikely of persons is in a position to help you.

A lack of confidence in your ideas could stop you from sharing them with those in a position to help you. You have some highly original and clever thoughts on how a group endeavour can be improved. Unfortunately if you don't let other people know what you are thinking, everything will stay the same and no one will benefit from your ideas, not even you. So don't hold your thoughts back: it is time to reveal all.
