When you look back on recent projects you realise hard work isn't always guaranteed to bring instant results. Sometimes you have to be patient and wait for the rewards. Nothing will be quite as straight forward as you hoped or as easy as you expected it to be.

You're eager to encourage a team to work together in harmony. People listen to you and are influenced by your calm example. A warm glow surrounds a close relationship. Whether this is of a romantic nature or a good friendship, you know you have found someone you can trust and rely on.

Be honest, truthful and realistic in all your dealings. There's a big temptation to take the easy way out. It would be far less hassle to ride with the tide but in the long run this won't be the best way. Be prepared to fight for what you believe in even if this causes arguments in close relationships.

An old friendship is breaking apart and all due to a foolish misunderstanding. If you make an effort to bridge the gap between you, the rewards and happiness you gain will mean you will be pleased you made the first move. Remain calm and optimistic and the outcome you are striving for will eventually be yours.

After a slow start a joint project will start to move quite rapidly and a lot faster than either of you expected. Success will come through your own efforts and these will be enormous. You will want to put all your energy and willpower into achieving a mutual aim and it is unlikely you will be disappointed.

Disappointment is due to someone you are sharing your leisure time with showing a side of their personality you've never previously seen before. You might feel like kicking yourself when you think of all the things you have told them in the past and now you wonder who else knows your secrets.

You have a lot to think about. Issues that caused you a lot of concern have been resolved. To prevent similar problems from occurring again, you will want to figure out exactly where things started going wrong. Is there anything you can do differently the next time you are faced with a similar situation?

Something shared in the family makes this a sentimental time. You will be meeting people, visiting places and getting involved in events that bring out the best in you. This is bound to have a positive and pleasing effect on your general state of mind.

Make leisure, pleasure and relaxation your main focus and don't let anyone make you feel guilty about doing so. You've never stopped recently and you are overdue a break. If you allow yourself to spend the day in a relaxing way, you will truly feel the benefits.

If those you live with or work with share your determination to get an important job out of the way, all the better. Many hands should make the work light, both in the home and workplace. If you approach it the right way you should find it easier than expected to gain the support you need to go ahead with a special project.

A thoughtful mood descends upon you. Mercury is about to go retrograde making socialising the last thing you feel like doing. You may have to drop a few subtle hints to get the peace and quiet you need but in the end others will respect your wishes.

A close friend or relative could be more supportive of your goals. It will surprise you when a complete stranger heaps praise on your shoulders. Why don't you turn the situation to your advantage by making sure those who need to be reminded of your good qualities, happen to hear this?
