You can't take off and leave other people to it even if it's what you feel like doing today. Events might lumber forward at a frustratingly slow pace in which case keep your cool. A sense of proportion is needed if you are dealing with duties you share with someone who is never in a rush. By the end of the day you might find you have adjusted to their snail's pace, to some degree!

Are you being more forceful than you realise with regard to opinions and what you feel other people should do for you? You have some strong feelings about a financial or legal matter and you want to proceed with your plans without any hindrance from others. People involved feel they are being pressurised into doing what you want without being given a chance to make up their own minds.

You don't have to dance to the tune other people play even if you've nothing particularly special planned for the day. If you have a few hours to spare, you might take the chance to take off to places of interest or ones unfamiliar to you. There's a restlessness about you now which should not be ignored. Happy surprises will help brighten your day.

You're likely to be experiencing some powerful emotions today and passions are unusually strong. This may at times be exciting but it can also be dangerous if for instance you are ready to push aside all other considerations but love. At work a strange aura hovers over you now when you might accidentally upset a colleague, perhaps because of your excess energy.

You might enrich a close relationship by adopting a less superficial approach in romance. Loved ones want to know what you are really thinking; they don't want to hear what you think you should say to please them. These next few weeks trust your intuition when dealing with others and when you feel the time is right to reveal your deepest feelings.

You may feel forced to put some plans on hold and because of this a rather trying time can be expected. Circumstances may push you into having to help out a friend or associate and you can't ignore some vague feelings of irritation. Some things can't be altered and if you've promised someone in the past that you would always be there for them, you won't be able to let them down; even if they now seem to be taking advantage of that offer.

Your ability to evade difficult situations and pacify angry people will come in useful today. Someone who is hard to please will be making life difficult for everyone! Your calm influence will have a surprisingly speedy affect in bringing peace and harmony into your environment. You might also be instrumental in bringing two friends together who have recently been at odds with each other.

If you're buying or selling property, developments today are likely to test your patience. Unexpected legal complications may mean you have to make important new decisions and this could change the course of events dramatically. Even in your everyday business people are making mountains out of molehills. You can't be bothered to spend hours discussing inconsequential matters. So, take a step back and leave other people to it!

A personal or professional aim is reached; you will feel as if you have achieved something positive and constructive. It is time for you to start thinking about new goals and these are likely to be of a joint nature. Although you will be enthusiastic about plans under discussion there is no pressure to get things started very quickly. If you've been without a steady companion for a wee while, this could soon be changing!

There is no doubt your direction today lies with getting the job done. For this reason, accept help that is offered. A joint effort will help you sweep through the remainder of your work programme with surprising ease. Find time over the weeks ahead to mix with kith and kin. As serious as you are about your work and other responsibilities, there is a need to start relaxing more.

If you're half of a duo it might feel at the moment as if your life revolves around your spouse. If you are single, you could experience this constrained feeling through having to be constantly at the beck and call of a close friend. You would love to give a new friendship a chance to grow and deepen but the distrust coming your way from a loved one seems to be stopping you from expanding your social relationships now.

Even if someone has betrayed you in some way, don't feel you can get your own back by revealing one of their secrets. You would not feel happy with yourself for being disloyal to someone even if they've done the same thing to you. It won't be an easy time for relationships and the strain could have an affect on your health. For this reason plan a relaxing evening! You need to find a way to unwind.
