A friend whose partner has done something behind their back needs someone to talk to. They may have chosen your shoulder as the one to cry on. You might understand why this has happened and why their partner had to act in this way but if you try to explain, they aren't going to believe you.

Take the day off. Relax and choose activities you enjoy and that help you feel good about yourself, your life and your relationships. As a Taurus you work hard and you play hard. Your mood now is a self-indulgent one and you shouldn't feel guilty if it's hard to get going with your usual routines. Some jobs can be left for another time.

Setting up a family or domestic project will give you a lot of fulfilment. You will have deliberately set some time aside to attend to these arrangements and although at first there will be moans and groans from housemates, you will easily persuade them to see the improvements this is going to bring into your lives.

You're taking an organised and efficient approach to getting things done. Family and friends will be happy to leave some responsibilities in your care when it is clear you know exactly what you are doing. Your focus is on setting affairs at home and in the workplace in order and you're doing a great job of this too.

You are listening to objections and this is making you pause before making a difficult decision. Someone may have your best interests at heart and although they are making all manner of suggestions, this will only cause you to dither and confuse you further. Remember your own judgement is the soundest.

Stay alert and vigilant. Someone close to hand will try to offload some of their duties and responsibilities onto you. They will do this in such a subtle way that you may not realise it until you've actually done the work for them. Make an extra effort to show appreciation of a partner's good points. This will mean a lot to them.

Take what a friend has to say about a neighbour with a pinch of salt. You won't want to pass on unfounded rumours. Someone in the family will get hold of the wrong end of the stick during a heated debate. Live up to your role as peace maker and explain things from different perspectives without making heavy weather of things as you do so.

A practical and sensible friend will help you see things in a more objective way. You are expecting far too much from yourself and that's why certain aspects of a job are starting to get on top of you. With a little help, you will start to see why it is necessary to sit on an excessive desire for perfection.

A discreet meeting will be held in a place you have never been to before. The purpose behind all this will be to arrange a secret family celebration or to finalise plans concerning the future that not everyone at home yet know about and you are hoping, for now, to keep it that way.

Changes in your private life will bring some upheaval. You need to give this more thought but you are also aware of the fact that these are likely to be for the best. Despite the sociable mood around you, there will be moments when you feel a need to be on your own.

Unexpected visitors or telephone calls just as you were about to go out could make you miss a bus, train or appointment. People seem to get in the way of your day and original plans will be considerably delayed or may even have to be cancelled. It won't be easy to reshuffle your schedule without a good deal of wasted time.

Arrangements now being made are likely to keep you confined to your home surroundings as you put effort into a home improvement project. This will bring you more pleasure than you first imagined it would. A neighbour or relative will drop by unexpectedly. Their presence will add a sprinkling of humour to what could have been a laborious job.
