First impressions can be misleading. If you're introduced to someone for the first time, give yourself a chance to get to know them before deciding what they are like as a person. It may not have been clear at first but you could find there are aspects of their personality which impress you.

Your work and other responsibilities will put you under a degree of pressure. The pace of life is faster than normal and you could find yourself struggling to keep up. You are determined to keep going and you won't admit defeat no matter how difficult it gets. This positive attitude will help you come out on top.

Pushing yourself too hard will take a toll on your health. Sharing the load will make a difference. You might also realise you haven't been delegating your responsibilities as much as you should have been doing and this could have made your life much easier. You can rectify this now.

Reaching a compromise within a team about what you should be doing seems impossible. It isn't easy to get someone whose communication skills are poor, to make any sense. This will be frustrating but be patient and give them a little longer to explain what they are thinking. At least be sure you are communicating things clearly.

Funding or new incentive packages will be offered to compensate if you are working under new restrictions. It is crucial that the right solution is found for your circumstances and environment. Be prepared to adapt your plans and once new measures are put in place, you will notice a big improvement.

Someone seems to have decided you would be interested in a job and without asking, they put your name forward. You actually have more than enough to get on with. You will wish they had approached you first to ask how you felt. Don't feel guilty about turning down an offer you never volunteered for in the first place.

Plans a friend has lined up will appeal and normally it wouldn't take much persuading for you to join them. You know you would be in for a very entertaining time but it just won't be possible for you to take them up on this offer at this time. It's something you will have to regretfully, turn down.

Your sparkling outlook on the world will make a big impression on your family and friends. New ideas will be enthusiastically discussed and these will bring about some much-needed change. If anyone wants cheering up, they should spend a little time with you. Directing your energy into a group project will be a good use of your time.

There is a matter you and a workmate or neighbour have to discuss with some urgency. You aren't expecting to see eye to eye with each other. Recent disagreements will make it difficult for you to feel comfortable in each other's company. Even so, the sooner you get this over with, the better.

When you feel overwhelmed with work, it is not an admittance of failure to ask for help. Because you have a reputation of not letting people down, friends and colleagues are making unfair demands on you. You realise how much they are relying on you but it is time for some people to find someone else to lean on.

You're taking on other people's concerns and allowing others to put the weight of the world on your shoulders. It doesn't matter where you are or what you are doing, your mind is on other concerns. Discussing social issues and politics with a practical friend will be interesting and stimulating.

An elderly relative who has had a lot of experience with other people will give you some wise and helpful advice. Some friends are taking your kindness and generosity for granted and being less available for them when they ask for favours should help solve this problem.
