If you're struggling with a work assignment, put your pride in your pocket and don't be afraid to pick the brains of others. You might prefer to do things in your own way but this is not the time for such determination. You're about to embark on something of a complicated nature and you will need all the help you can get.

Ask questions if you feel confused. Better still, stick with straightforward pursuits. Whether you are planning on spending the day having fun or getting everyday chores, stay with tried and tested methods. Leave anything that might be complicated for another time.

Someone close may have to cancel arrangements already made. The reason for them doing so will be genuine. Despite your disappointment, show patience and understanding. Be careful about what you agree to do for others. You don't want to break a promise when the time arrives to fulfil it.

You might hear something interesting concerning a current job situation. This will come through confidential means and it will be important to keep it to yourself. Even so, this will be something that could come in useful in the future. The time will come when you can turn this knowledge to your advantage.

Someone you haven't seen for some time will turn up and they will be keen to spend a large proportion of their time with you. This could clash with the expectations of your family. The best answer would be to keep friends happy during the daylight hours and devote your evening to those closer to home.

A surprise suggestion from a friend or relative will be worth following up. Most pleasure, during your off-duty hours will come from getting out and mixing and mingling with others rather than hiding away at home. Pay a visit to an antique shop if you're on the lookout for something for your home.

Add more balance to your life. You need to have more belief in yourself and your abilities. Your aim, over the weeks ahead, should be to spend as much time on yourself and your interests as you do towards other people and their problems.

Try not to get too intense about life and relationships. Instead, either concentrate on more pleasurable occupations and activities, or talk your worries over with someone else. Minor problems within the family or connected to a close relationship could get out of hand if you keep your feelings locked up inside

A seemingly throwaway remark made by a friend or neighbour might sound nothing more than wishful thinking. What might surprise them is with your adventurous outlook, you could come up with a way of making that dream a reality. You will enjoy bouncing ideas off people who are as creative as you are.

In some matters you and a friend are never going to agree. Discussions of a controversial nature will reveal a side to someone you will not like or admire. Once you see how stubborn they can be, you will choose not to waste any more of your time and energy arguing.

You might turn down an invitation in order to avoid activities with an emphasis on winners and losers. You aren't interested in being goaded by competitive people who think they are better than the rest. The last thing you want is to come up against anyone who is aggressive or menacing.

You're feeling slightly insecure. You sense a friend or workmate has not been honest with you. In fact they have been trying to make an event or opportunity sound better than it really is and they've done this to get you to volunteer for something they don't want to do.
