The determined, practical and organised mood you are in at the start of the day does you credit. Even so not everyone will be as efficient and eventually distractions caused by other less disciplined souls will start to slow you down. All you can do is get important jobs out of the way and leave everything else for another time when there aren't so many disruptions.

Keep a low profile if you are working today; don't let other people pressurise you. You need to feel confident about the decisions you're making. For this reason don't let yourself be panicked into action. Your boss or another superior is on the war path. Very little can be done to please them but remember: tomorrow is another day!

A friend or colleague receives praise or reward which should by rights have come your way. You might begrudge the way others readily accept congratulations for something they didn't do. If you let your bitterness show this may go against you; not everyone fully understands the situation. One way or another you will find a means to right this injustice.

You're putting too much blame on yourself for a friend's mistakes or disappointments. They made their own choices and the consequences of their decisions has nothing to do with you. Everybody else is telling you not to be so hard on yourself so why aren't you listening? You're allowing other people's affairs to occupy too much of your attention when you should be concentrating on your own life now.

A setback in an important job could lead to short tempers and frayed nerves. Muddles and mix-ups are bound to occur when there is such a busy atmosphere around you. It might be difficult to maintain harmony. If and when things go wrong, the solution is to stop and go back to square one. Despite possible delays, an upward trend will start making itself felt by the end of the day.

If you're faced with a difficult career decision, talk to someone in the know before making a final choice. A colleague may refuse to give you information you need or is reluctant to talk about an event you need to know more about. Reading between the lines might give you the impression they have something to hide. For the time being, keep your suspicions to yourself.

People who talk a lot but do little in the way of action should be avoided now. You don't want to be misled by a devious someone's charming and persuasive ways. If you're single be cautious about getting too deeply drawn into a new love affair too quickly. There are some people who delight in the pleasures of romance without wanting responsibility or commitment.

A new friendship could be interesting and rewarding but why is a housemate objecting to this relationship? It could be they have had dealings with this person in the past that weren't pleasing or satisfactory. You can't ignore their warnings but at the same time you would prefer to be left to make up your own mind. Future family plans may be changed this evening.

Your usual routines do nothing to inspire you today. For every step forward, two steps back are made. What's apparent is: you are trying to run before you can walk. Important duties are neglected due to you or someone you're working with, not realising their significance. Grin and bear the need to work at a slower and more careful place.

Have you been living in something of a fools paradise so far as a certain relationship is concerned? Someone was more interested in your money or your business connections than in you and you're just discovering this for yourself now. At work, your efforts are held back because of a colleague's laziness. It's difficult to understand other people's more lethargic ways.

You won't have to go far if you're looking for some excitement. More than enough is going on around you to provide you with all the entertainment you need. Despite all this feverish activity not a lot is accomplished. Everyday tasks or occupations will be put aside in favour of something else that crops up. This pattern is repeated throughout the day.

Your suspicions about a friend having said things you told them in confidence are confirmed. Not only are you disappointed because they've betrayed you but you're mad with yourself for having trusted them in the first place. You could probably never have guessed it would work out this way so try to put it behind you and move on. Recriminations are a waste of time.
