What harm will it do to let a friend or several friends sway you into joining them in their plans and arrangements? You might secretly feel the entertainment they've laid on or interests they're involved in or a little too high-brow for your tastes. Give such suggestions a whirl and it is entirely possible you will discover a whole new area of enjoyment for the future.

Although you rarely complain about having to stick to well trodden paths, this won't be the case today. Try to avoid anything too mundane this weekend. There may be an argument at home over a joint social invitation. You want to accept, your partner doesn't. Happily it won't take much in the way of persuasion to make others see the pleasure that can be gained through adopting a more adventurous outlook.

At times, recently, you may have felt as if you were the one doing all the talking. Today, the reverse seems to apply. A loved-one is so loquacious you won't be able to concentrate on anything else. Someone close is about to reveal information that by its very nature must be kept a secret. Don't wait to be asked if you will keep it to yourself. Offer that reassurance without any prompting.

A friend wants your opinion on a personal matter; you don't feel in a position to advise. Although they will plead with you to do so, resist helping them to make up their mind. Whatever the issue, you feel it should be their choice not yours. That apart, there will be plenty of fun through keeping company with those you know well and like. Evening trends are quieter than the day's but no less enjoyable.

An unexpected but welcome opportunity gives you the chance to further a main goal. This could mean having to make an instant decision without consulting anyone. You will sense it's for the best and you will jump at the chance. Life is what you make of it now so think big and don't settle for anything less than the best. A positive accord in your important relationships helps oil the wheels of progress.

It will be the simple pleasures of life that will suit your mood best today. Don't hesitate to turn down suggested entertainment plans that might stretch your budget to its limit. Someone close needs cosseting and you know just how to make them feel special. After some serious thought, you're ready to say all the words you know they've been longing to hear.

You're in the mood for something energetic. It's a weekend when the desire to be on the go and active makes it difficult for you to sit down for more than five minutes. Don't fight it. Good advice will come from someone who knows you well. Listen carefully to what is being said. You are cheerful and charming and your powers of attraction reach an all time high. Prepare yourself for a super-romantic weekend.

Agreeing to take on an awkward or unrewarding task will work to your advantage. This may mean going into work when you did have other plans. Doing so proves that you're willing to help out in an emergency and you can be relied upon when needed. Your name will be firmly fixed in the mind of useful people: people who will remember your efforts when something attractive and financially rewarding comes up in the near future.

Travel, whether for business or pleasure will be a delight this weekend. Mainly because others are happy to go along with your spontaneous suggestions. If someone close seems pre-occupied with other matters, don't complain. Instead find a way to take their mind off their more heavy concerns. Single? Romantic aspirations are favoured in a big way. Someone who loves adventure of all kinds: travel, mental, emotional and spiritual will set your heart aglow!

Hold on a minute if you're keen to clear up a recent financial misunderstanding. Or a disagreement that seems to have flared up out of all proportion. If you wait until later in the day then you might get the co-operation and consideration you are hoping for. A surprise visitor will pass on a rumour that could be useful for you to know about so pay attention!

There's tension in a one-to-one relationship and you feel more comfortable in social gatherings. Events that take you outside your usual circle provide a stepping stone for new experiences. Dismiss all thoughts of going along with a partner's dull suggestions. There is something more exciting in the air. A need for personal freedom could bring a partnership to an end. If so, someone more suitable will soon come along; the colour green will help you recognize them.

If working this weekend or helping someone close who is snowed under with duties, aim to get as much done as soon as possible. Try to close the door on the serious side of life if only for a few hours at the end of the day. You need to loosen up and to add some extra fun to your life. Once you suggest letting your hair down, you could be amazed at the way others are keen to follow your lead and keep you company.
