Before acting on a whim, stop and rethink your most basic approach to a relationship or situation. Your social life is expanding rapidly but how long can you keep up with all these outside demands and activities? There is no doubt the emotional attraction is stimulating. Even so adjusting your schedule so you have more time for yourself and your family is not such a bad idea.

You might have a difficult time understanding the workings of a friend or colleague's mind. Their indifference causes you to wonder whether they were ever as serious about certain affairs as you. You won't be happy with some proposals put forward but this is a poor day to air your grievances. It's unlikely anyone is going to act on their suggestions; they're waiting for the right kind of support.

No matter how tentatively done, if you have given your word to someone, they will expect you to keep to your promise. A business associate is wonderful over the phone when they want you to run an errand or do them a good turn. Meeting this same person face to face won't be as relaxed. They just aren't as approachable or amicable. It seems some people can only be charming when they want something from you!

You don't want to be late for work or an important meeting; give yourself ample time for the journey. An idea or event needs to be publicised in order to attract the attention of those who matter. Currently there is a restrictive factor and you can't seem to break down this barrier. Don't feel guilty about any temporary anger or frustration you are feeling. The more strongly you feel the more you are likely to overcome the problems.

If you're short of cash due to saving up for a holiday or a big purchase, you will find a better way to budget. You don't have to deny yourself completely but bear in mind the holiday will seem so much more lavish if you have to do without certain luxuries before you go! Sometimes it's worth making sacrifices if this means the end result will be all the more gratifying and satisfying!

You're being urged to forgive and forget after some recent misunderstanding or confusion. To forgive is easy. Forgetting is not as simple. If it was, you'd only be missing the lesson this incident could teach you. What you must now accept is someone isn't as dependable or as consistent as you thought them to be. You will forgive them for this flaw in their personality. You will remember it when dealing with them in the future.

You're tempted to change arrangements but stick to the script in professional and financial dealings. Anything unexpected that does crop up is unlikely to work to your advantage. People seem to say one thing and mean another. It's hard enough getting all the facts straight without having to deal with someone who won't be honest with you. Participating in new career activities can be confusing and you might do better in business, if you were to keep a low profile.

You seem to be putting in a lot of effort just to achieve what can only be described as satisfactory results. What you'll discover before the day is very old is that it's pointless forcing yourself to do jobs you aren't in the mood for. Apart from the fact you won't be satisfied with your efforts, it's likely to take you twice as long as usual to complete things. If you've no choice but to get on, just do your best and keep out of the beam of a superior's eagle eye!

You don't have to twist anyone's arm to get them on your side, gentle persuasion should do it. Even if you aren't happy with developments close to home or about someone's attitude to a situation, there's no need to get irate and fractious. Try to put your foot down and others will come back with an equally as stubborn stance. This is the kind of day when you will achieve more through tact than through harassment.

Today you get to demonstrate your gift for calm in the centre of the storm. If everything was smooth sailing you would only be bored at a time when you need challenge and something testing to do. You might be conscious of an increased vitality and mental alertness but all this energy might seem to vanish very quickly. Even so, when you need it you do have the stamina and patience to deal with the situation.

Giving in to a petulant child or partner suits your purpose today. It might seem as if you're rewarding them for being childish but there is method in this kind of madness! You are looking ahead and you know there's something you want them to do for you. If you're good to them now, they aren't likely to say no when you ask for this favour. So in a roundabout way, you're pleasing them to please yourself!

If you can't keep a lid on your emotions, family relationships may become disrupted. You don't want the day to be marred by an argument with someone you care for and hate to see hurt. Views differ and your judgement is likely to be clouded by emotions. Wait for tempers to cool before you approach touchy topics again. Also, bearing in mind your current tendency to self indulgence, health problems could be brought on by diet.
