A close friend will get caught up in a scandalous situation. You know they are innocent of what they are being accused of and you whether or not you are asked, you feel nudged to speak up for them. You may lose a few friends but at least you know now who in your life can't be trusted.

A housemate is being too extravagant, their plans far too expansive. You already feel irritable about their recent actions and cannot support their current ideas. An argument will lead to them reminding you that you aren't perfect. Tackle your own shortcomings or it may sound like the pot calling the kettle back.

Conversations get heated very quickly and you want to avoid this. Correspondence and work that involves no one but yourself will be the areas you aim for. There are a number of possibilities for the future but you won't want to discuss your plans until you've had a chance to consider them further.

A team effort has been going well and some significant headway has been made. You've reached the point when you can move onto the next stage. Unexpectedly you might notice a change in communication within the team when a conflict of interests or personalities starts to hinder progress.

There are times when you aren't sure where you are. It isn't that you aren't making progress because you are. You are also dealing with situations that you've never experienced before. New responsibilities will make it clear that other people respect and appreciate your skills. You will not let them down.

A friend who has always been there for you in the past will not let you down. Trust that if someone said they would do something for you, they will. Just because some people aren't keeping you up to date with all that is going on, it doesn't mean they aren't getting results. Be patient and you could be surprised.

You don't mind following other people's examples but for today, you are the one who can see how to get results. You know it will be wise to work through some tasks in a slow and methodical manner rather than take too much notice of colleagues who urge cutting corners and other weird and wonderful ideas.

Someone from your past has looked you up especially. They have something to tell you that they know you will be delighted to hear. Because of this you may have to postpone some arrangements but it won't be an inconvenience spending an afternoon doing things you had planned to do in the morning.

There is a way to avoid frustration in most areas and this is by being willing to keep your options open. Aggravation will come through a determination to stick to original plans as this is when everything will seem to go wrong. Flexibility will make it easier to get through the day.

Not before time, your job or money situation is starting to show signs of improvement. A partner or relative will want to launch out on their own. They will appreciate your encouragement and support including any financial or practical help you can give too. If you're in a position to give someone advice, think carefully about how to word this.

Sometimes you just have to seize the moment. Your instincts are spot on just now and therefore if you feel you should jump to grasp an unanticipated opportunity, be sure to go for it. No doubt you will guiltily wonder if it was right for you to act on impulse. Trust your intuition.

You can sense by the look on someone's face that words they blurt out in the heat of the moment are instantly regretted. Others aren't so sensitive and their impetuous words could well spark an argument. Do your best to ease the atmosphere by suggesting everyone take some time away to calm down.
