You aren't inclined to follow the rulebook as someone is urging you to do. Official methods seem out of date. You could half the workload by introducing new routines or through taking short cuts. You're feeling ambitious and full of energy and if you have to take over someone else's work in a joint situation so you can get a move on, that's what you will be doing.

You will refuse to go along with others if it means you are going against your own wishes and desires. Competition is high and you will prefer to make your own decisions. You will spare no efforts in your determination to reach a personal goal and the results will be rewarding. You are spurred on by peaking energy levels.

Prepare for a day of mixed fortunes; if you get the chance to set the pace you will feel more in command. People will try to get you to go along with their ideas and suggestions but this could divert you away from your main aims. A small accident or health problems could result in a lack of energy. Even so you will persevere and bring a difficult situation to a suitable outcome.

A sudden change in a work or social situation will take you by surprise. Keeping your thoughts locked inside will resolve nothing. If you go along with changes you aren't happy about you will only have yourself to blame when you start feeling future remorse. Ask yourself whether you really want to go ahead with new plans today. If you don't, you know what you should do.

If you have not been using your personal talents in a constructive way, you will now be changing this. Even if it isn't through any careful planning or preparation! Out of the blue an opportunity to make a change in career direction will occur and this will really appeal to you. You feel good although you can't explain why; this helps you take everything in your stride.

This is not a day to spend in familiar locations; head for a place you love or have never been to before. A change of scenery would give your spirits a much needed boost. If you are single, romance could be one of the positive consequences of a long journey. If you can't get away, outdoor pursuits such as a picnic or barbecue with friends will be an attractive alternative.

If you are working today, team efforts will go smoothly as you all have skills that complement each other. With everyone focusing on a solid work plan and everything being so organised, nothing can possibly go wrong. You might take the chance, this evening, to give more thought to money spinning ideas or plans you are keen on implementing soon.

If you are typical of your sign, people see you as a tower of strength to lean on. This gives you a slight edge over a rival when it turns out you have the skills or knowledge they need and they'd appreciate your help. New opportunities could present themselves and you might find yourself working with someone you never expected to team up with. A competitor could become an ally as a result!

You will be impatient if working with someone who plods along with no sense of urgency. Keep your cool. If you stand back and pause for a while you might notice your own methods have a number of flaws. You will only have had to retrace your steps if you'd continued in the same direction. Share ideas and a stroke of inspiration will help you and those around you progress in a way to suits you all.

You have a lot to contribute in joint affairs; don't start thinking otherwise. You might feel your partner makes all the decisions and does all the work but that is not so at all. If you are at a start of a new relationship, a difficult moment can be overcome through showing a sense of humour. At home, loved ones find comfort in your reassuring presence.

You might prefer to stay at home today; there are a number of jobs about the house you would like to get out of the way. If there are overdue letters or emails to reply to, get them sorted now. Friends may descend on you for a special reason, this evening. Being able to help out a new friend or neighbour will earn you a special place in their hearts.

Feelings in a close relationship run high; a situation is intense and this is a drain on you emotionally. You have some bright ideas; your charm and personality helps you put your thoughts over with ease. A lot is being expected of you and it might feel as if a friend or loved one is leaning on you heavily. Knowing others appreciate you and a need to be needed makes it less of a problem to cope with it all.
