Your normal routine will hold no appeal. That's because your usual commitments are starting to bore you. A new hobby or taking up a creative challenge is just the type of diversion you now need. Stimulating your mind will be the quickest way to escape boredom.

If you agree to take on a new role, extra responsibilities or a new assignment, you will want to do this in your way. You will make a good job of whatever you do because you take your commitments seriously. The last thing you want is an interfering supervisor.

Workmates will be grateful for the way you react swiftly in situations needing quick thinking. Your ability to think on your feet makes you a valued member of the workforce. Whereas others might hesitate, you are already working on a solution.

It can be frustrating when you aren't able to get on with what you want to do because other things and other people get in the way. Someone seems intent on preventing you from continuing with jobs already begun. You suspect it's because they've never been keen from the start and this is their way to get their own way.

Housemates and workmates seem unusually uncooperative. Don't comment on their behaviour. Instead, just leave them to sulk. A partner's sullen silences aren't helping you deal with an issue that's causing some rivalry between you. Staying behind the scenes and out of other people's way should ensure you have a reasonably satisfying day.

There's hardly a moment to call your own. Other people are running around like headless chickens, but at least you will remain calm, cool and collected. In this way, everyone can rely on you to get things back under control. You are the one person others can rely on in a crisis.

Advice given by an older colleague or relative will be based on an old wives' tale. You will know they mean well but when their guidance sounds bizarre, you should not take it too seriously. If your query concerns a financial, legal or business matter, your best course of action will be to consult a professional.

A project that has been delayed will now be given the green light. This is something you had been eagerly anticipating only now you have other responsibilities and you are unable to give it the time and attention it deserves. At least problems that have been plaguing you in the past are starting to disappear.

The chance to be sociable and join in with whatever friends are getting up to will lift your spirits. Introductions made through a business function could be useful for the future. Be sure to return any phone calls you may have missed while you were out. Someone is about to make you an interesting offer.

You're being constantly reminded of an upsetting event that is better forgotten. You do learn from your mistakes and you don't intend for there to be any repeats of this in the future. Keep your mind occupied in creative ways to push negative thoughts out of your head.

Disturbances and distractions will upset your concentration. Progress will be slow because of this. Still, you will be determined to make some headway and by the end of the day there should be something to show for your efforts. It will be easier to cope with duty later on, when there will be fewer distractions.

You don't want to miss out on a new work or creative opportunity. In your excitement you might jump in without considering the consequences. Although you don't want to miss out, you should pause and consider the long-term implications of your behaviour.
