Disagreements or misunderstandings can best be sorted out if everything is brought out into the open and discussed freely. A health or work related issue is likely to be at the root of any discord, but with a little understanding and consideration, you will soon be able to come to point of agreement with the people around you. You may feel like digging your heels in, but this would only exacerbate the matter ­ better to draw on your accommodating side and this will keep the atmosphere friendly.

With your inborn tendency to protect and conserve, taking care of your environment and belongings comes naturally to you. As Venus the planet of beauty moves into Cancer, this proclivity strengthens and so community matters and beautiful possessions that enhance your neighbourhood and surroundings take on an added significance. It is true that you need a level of financial and domestic security in order to experience peace of mind, but it is important that you take pleasure from and fully enjoy your resources too. You are also the epitome of charm so what better time to ask for you are sure to receive!

A female relative is probably completely unaware of how their well-meaning offer of advice is coming over. Even though deep down you know that it is not their intention to upset you, it doesn't make it any easier to deal with the situation. A new approach could work wonders so why not broach the subject in a roundabout and circuitous way ­ a long cosy chat could soon dispel any misunderstandings, especially if you keep it mind that they really do have your best interests at heart.

This is a good time to link together with others who share your interests as joint activities and ventures are favoured. Being with old established friends will be especially congenial - talking over old times and past adventures will bring a smile to all your faces. If there is someone you have been meaning to contact, why not drop them a line. It would be a pity to let this friendship slip just for the sake of a quick note or letter. With Venus opting into your sign ensuring your image is all it's cracked up to be will introduce to sparkling opportunities as well as romance.

Your social and public life are about to come under the spotlight and become more expansive and vivacious. You always welcome the chance to expand your social circle whether it is through participation in groups and associations that you belong to or via contact with many new people through your work and colleagues. Although you enjoy a wide range of recreational activities it will be those of a more intellectual nature that will appeal now and they could add a whole new dimension to your life.

It is important that your communications with the people you work with are clear forthright and unambiguous. Don't allow any grievances you hold about someone or something to fester but bring them out in the open where they can be properly dealt with. It will also be wise to give others the opportunity to do the same if they feel they have a criticism they want to discuss with you. This will clear the air and you will find that a new and more congenial atmosphere will prevail from now on.

You are naturally considerate towards your colleagues and have a caring attitude to those over whom you have authority. You are prepared to work hard and consistently towards achieving a harmonious working environment if it is at all within your power, and as Venus moves into the caring sign of Cancer today, this is an ambition you are likely to achieve. Tact and diplomacy are your strong points, so utilise them in your response to suggestions or advice from your fellow workers, and you will certainly elicit their full support.

Clarifying your current objectives in a joint endeavour will propel you both into a happier and more enduring relationship. Whether you are building up a business together, or sharing a home and family, communication is the key. Don't allow yourselves to become stuck in a rut or get bogged down by rigidly sticking to a too-predictable routine. You may have to make a few modifications to your original plans so as to express your versatility and keep the relationship fresh and interesting, but it will be worthwhile.

Ambition and attainment are the key words as you work hard and long to succeed in your career or occupation. There seems to be no stopping you now as you focus your energy on any task or project that needs your own particular skills and talents, and will also benefit from the input of the people you work with or have trained. You are able to count on their help and support. It is also clear that they feel the same care and assurance from you.

A break from your usual routine is just what you need, and so your thoughts turn to planning a holiday or trip. Put some work and effort into these preparations and it will ensure the actual journey goes without a hitch. The next question is ­ who are you going to invite to accompany you? Your partner, or a close friend, will really appreciate being asked, and they will also be aware of all the care you have expended into making this an enjoyable and memorable experience for you both.

You are able to bring inspiration and enthusiasm to any creative endeavour that captures your imagination. The hobbies and pursuits that you love are so engrossing that their intricacies are on your mind even when you have to go about your normal day to day activities. Whether your particular interest lies in one of the traditional arts such as music, or something a little more unusual like white water rafting, go ahead have some fun and enjoy yourself engaging in it.

A business partner or close friend has an axe to grind, so listen to their complaints and see what you can do to help. They may want to discuss something important with you, or need your encouragement and support. If you put your recreational activities on hold until after you have sorted out their difficulties, you will then be able to go ahead and enjoy yourself, and who knows, perhaps by having delayed your plans a whole new vista of experience could open up for you.
