You don't mind a certain amount of competition but you will feel angry with a rival who is showing excess aggression and deliberately putting problems in your way. They expect you to rise to the bait. Don't. Show calm in the face of hostility. There's a degree of change in the air and responsibilities are slowly increasing.

Do your best to show some compassion and understanding of a close friend who is being unusually stubborn over a matter you are having to deal with jointly. This doesn't mean having to go along with their demands and decisions in a blind fashion. Listen to their suggestions and you will get your chance to speak and eventually find a workable solution.

There is confusion and uncertainty when a situation is changing in a way no one expected. You are thinking about asking for a friend's advice. This is not advisable. They are unlikely to understand your perspective and their opinions could put further doubts in your mind. All you can do is make decisions with your own needs in mind.

Too many conflicts of interests and personalities is starting to cause problems in a team effort. This puts all that has already been achieved under threat. This will be frustrating and unless addressed immediately, this project may never be completed. You don't want to feel you have been wasting your time and you might come up with a workable solution.

There is some tension in the air. No doubt your nails will show the evidence of this. The relief will come when you hear news you have been waiting for and this news will be good. Do your best to cultivate a relaxed and more easy-going approach to current events for you will not be much good for anything if you end up a nervous wreck.

It won't be easy to agree with or even understand a new friend or partner's way of thinking. This might surprise you when up until now you have got on extremely well together. If someone is trying to persuade you out of following your instincts, stand your ground. If it comes to it, insist on going your own way.

In all areas of life, aim to play it safe. If you can't persuade friends to be careful, at least be firm and let them know you aren't about to get involved in their risky ideas and schemes. Some people are keen to take risks but you aren't going to be one of them.

You've always been persistent when it comes to your efforts to get results and a fair degree of determination is something to hold on to now. You're in two minds about allowing a friend to have the final say in shared arrangements. It would be in your best interests to let people realise you have a mind of your own.

Life is fun and new possibilities you are considering make you restless and excitable. This could also cause you to be a little careless. Calm down and be sure to pause and think before speaking and acting. You don't want to upset someone with a careless word because your thoughts are on other things.

Clutter clearing means letting go of things that no longer serve you and you are ready to do this now. Once you've done this, your environment will feel much more tidy and orderly. There will be a few frustrating moments when you can't remember where you put things but the happiness you feel inside will have made your efficient efforts well worth it.

Circumstances or working with people who are careful and deliberate in their decision making will force you to work at a much slower pace than desired. Rather than fret and fume about this, try to relax and instead enjoy this chance to work in a less hectic and more easy-going fashion.

It won't be easy for you to bite your tongue when a friend apologises for having made some curt and nasty remarks. You will sense they are now regretful and if you're willing to let it pass this time, this will go towards encouraging a more harmonious and honest relationship in the future. By all accounts, this seems to be important to you.
