A colleague is unusually determined to get on with their work without involving anyone else. You wonder what they are trying to hide and this makes you determined to find out what is going on. Take the chance later in the day to clear away odds and ends that have been lying around longer than they should have been.

Blame it on Mercury retrograde but this is one of those times when you could easily miss the wood for the trees. Try to be a little more open minded when dealing with joint matters. A message from someone from your past should be taken seriously even if you can't believe what they tell you.

Mercury retrograde encourages you to look back on recent happenings. Through doing this you will discover a solution to a problem that means you won't have to upset too many people or step on too many sensitive toes. Important messages will need an immediate reply even if it is to ask for some time to think it over.

A big decision you made a few months ago is starting to take shape. Looking back you will notice a lot has changed to enable you to reach this point and the good news is that this is change for the better. Although there are stumbling blocks ahead, don't let anything stand in your way.

Someone will admire your talents. They may even offer to help you make a success of a job you take on as they too have skills that could come in very useful. Together you will make a great team. Sometimes working jointly with another brings more satisfaction than tackling the job solo.

Muddles and mishaps in communications could be a problem now and over the weeks ahead. Missing or delayed correspondence could cause delays in matters you would have preferred to have been over with by now. There's nothing you can do about this but be patient.

A friend will bring up a subject you're touchy about at the moment. They won't have meant to say the things they did. Whatever the issue try to keep emotions under control. A remark you take the wrong way will have been completely unintentional. Change the subject in a subtle manner to ease the tension.

Someone was hoping you'd be available to help them with a matter they have to deal with. This is something they are going to have to get on with themselves. You're preoccupied making future plans and arrangements. If these involve travel, so far things seem to be going very smoothly. It wouldn't hurt though to check some of the smaller details just in case.

You're trying to be discreet. The opposite might be said of a partner or a friend who is telling everyone everything. You will listen if they have any secrets they wish to reveal and this could have something about their health. You will be glad this is a matter they chose not to keep to themselves as you will want to be there for them when they need you.

A group activity will be something you are feeling excited about. You are ready for a challenge and this one is going to be fun. It will be hard work too yet inspiring. Although you are a newcomer to this subject, you won't feel out of place and even people you don't know will welcome you with open arms.

There's confusion in the air and some people are already blaming this on Mercury retrograde. It will be good news that seems to have thrown routine plans into disarray. Instead of trying to piece things together again, let your instincts guide you and concentrate on matters in hand without thinking too far ahead.

People are impressed with the results of your recent hard work. You're quite pleased with yourself too even though you can't help feeling there is no gain without pain. You've made many sacrifices along the way so give yourself a pat on the back because you really do deserve it.
