It might take effort but persevere if you're hoping to persuade others to give new methods or ideas a fair trial. It may be necessary to splash out on new items and you will be imaginative about the way you are saving or spending cash at the moment. You might also indulge in some mild speculation or follow a hunch where money is concerned.

You're always interested in the affairs of your partner and other loved ones. You may not be happy with what you discover today. There's a chance someone is making plans you are against in a big way. Arguing only makes them more determined and this makes matters worse. To avoid a row, stay calm and tactfully try to persuade others they're about to make a big mistake.

If you're working and a colleague is feeling grumpy and frumpy this could put a strain on your day. Despite your efforts to keep conversations light hearted and cheery, you might find it hard to handle their barbed comments. Allow other people to dampen your spirits and you won't be good company this evening when friends will be surprised at your lack of joyfulness and spontaneity.

If a disturbing atmosphere exists between you and a friend or lover; it's wise not to rock the boat. A cloud of doubt hangs over you as you wonder whether you are the one who is causing all the problems. You're inclined to open discussions but if you avoid touchy topics for a wee while, the tension will ease. As it does, the cloud will lift. Sometimes doing nothing is the best way to resolve emotionally charged situations.

You have two options today: you might while away the hours at home catching up on housework or you could join friends. Someone might invite you to take a trip out with them and probably because you're feeling restless, you would welcome the change of scene.

A streak of perfectionism drives you to make a thorough job of all you do today. If you are working, you could come up with some ingenious ways to solve a tricky problem. People are surprised at how quickly you get through your chores. You might even receive a productivity bonus.

If you're off on a spending spree today, I'd advise you to keep to your limits. It might take a lot of willpower not to spend more than you can afford, especially if you're in the company of an extravagant friend. A buy now pay later offer could seem too tempting to ignore but it will cost you a lot more than the asking price in the long run. Read the small print of all documents you sign today.

Accepting advice when it's offered helps you achieve wonderful results today. Currently you seem to be going through a phase when you need to prove your capabilities through working independently of others. Are you giving off the wrong impression?

Help is at hand if you need it but as with recent days, you might prefer to maintain an independent stance. Through getting on without anyone's interference, you're able to work at your own pace and do things in your own time. Of course you don't have to lock yourself away from the world completely. There will be moments today when you will respond positively to a loved one's affectionate gestures!

You are determined and decisive but are you pushing yourself too hard and making impossible demands of yourself? You're inclined to turn down offers of help when other people could do a lot to make life easier for you. It would please friends and family if you accepted their kind offers. Don't feel you are putting them out by taking up favours they offer to do for you.

You need to take a step back from a problematic situation in order to study it from all angles. Since you're growing tired of the way other people are turning a blind eye to certain events or happenings, you might decide to do something about this once and for all. Because you're putting a lot of energy into resolving a tricky project or chore, by the end of the day you should have succeeded in your aims.

Spend some time considering a recent offer put to you especially if this might have serious financial consequences. Common sense is what's needed to reap the benefits of this offer and none of the kick backs. A friend expects you to join in with their plans at the end of the day. Chances are you won't feel like going out and will prefer to spend a quiet evening in the company of someone you love.
