The company you choose to spend the day with is important. Aim to enjoy the companionship of like minded friends and cheerful people. If you spend too long with someone who rarely looks on the bright side, their gloominess could have a dismal affect on you. A friend is reluctant to face the truth today in which case leave them to their own beliefs. It will be a waste of time trying to change their mind!

Someone needs help with something they can't possibly manage on their own. Even if you did have other plans, show the magnanimous side of your nature and do your best to please them! You might notice someone is making much out of what amounts to very little. Your practical and down to earth qualities will quickly help them see sense!

Communications are exciting and you're making firm arrangements for the future. Plans to take a holiday with a difference could lie behind emails, talks and phone calls. Lately you've been feeling more adventurous and you're even more determined to exercise your itchy feet now. Broadening your horizons could eventually bring some major changes in your personal life.

You might prefer to use your energies wisely today; that's why you might turn down a friend's idea for having fun. People will start the day with the best of intentions but their plans could be a little too ambitious for your liking. Divert a loved one's attention from a project they're unlikely to be able to finish by this evening or it probably won't ever get done!

If you're closely linked to another, whether the bond is romantic or platonic, this person has influence in your life now. You are starting to realise you cannot be selfish when making decisions for the future. You must take into account other people's feelings. As it happens, some luck could come your way thanks to a partner. Your world is enriched because of your social, business and romantic connections.

The day holds promise for relationships and partnerships of all kinds. If you've been avoiding discussing a contentious matter with others for fear of the consequences, someone else might bring up the topic today. It will be a relief to face up to difficulties you've been evading. A colleague for instance might want to clear the air after a misunderstanding and make peace. Follow their example.

If you don't expect to be able to keep plans made with friends, let them know this well in advance. People won't think very highly of you if you let them down at the eleventh hour. Similarly if you don't have time to entertain unexpected visitors who simply want to sit around and chat, tell them you've made other arrangements as soon as they arrive!

You could come across some clever ideas or find some worthwhile buys that will help improve your environment. A blaze of sunshine enters your family life when news of a birth or a similarly as happy occasion gives you something to celebrate. Hopes for the future centred on the domestic scene are likely to receive positive feedback now.

If someone tries to place obstacles between you and your dearest wishes, they aren't likely to get away with it. You intend to concentrate on a special project. Anyone who doesn't understand your devotion and dedication, you will keep at arm's length. In particular if someone close tries to interfere you will offer an ultimatum which let's them know what's most important to you now!

Check you have complete control of what happens to your cash. A friend or relative is planning on splashing out on an item or entertainment which is more expensive than they admit. If when you discover the cost you could never happily square this with your conscience, refuse to have anything to do with their plans. You will regret it in the future if you do get involved.

Private and professional aims occupy your mind but for now you want to keep your thoughts to yourself. If you have any doubts, such negative thinking could prevent you from going ahead with a venture you know deep down is worth pursuing. Don't let a lack of experience prevent you from giving this a go. Working out all the details before you reveal your plans can only be to your advantage.

Prepare to be more independent now if you want to get ahead in specific areas. Although there may be a lack of proper support there is nothing stopping you from doing a lot yourself. Don't start thinking you can't move on without another person's support or approval. Not everyone will understand your aims but this does not make them any less important than theirs.
