Discussions concern plans for the rest of the week; you're inclined to hurry talks along. Impatience to get started on new projects makes you reluctant to spend time planning and preparing. Ultimately, this could slow things down. Projects you haven't thought through will stumble into difficulties. Be patient with people who insist on careful preparations. They do know what they are doing.

Why struggle with a job that was never meant to be handled by just one person? If you need help, ask for it. If you're working on something physically demanding and you're fed up with doing it all on your own, now is the time to fight your corner. People who have been inclined to take your hard working nature for granted shouldn't be allowed to get away with this any longer.

If a team of you are working together, one person will be harder to deal with than others. Everyone has different tastes and ideas. Tune into what people are thinking and plan carefully. What you end up doing might not be quite what you had in mind but if you make the most of it, events today will still be enjoyable.

Expect to be handed an extra portion of responsibility within the career environment. Your working life is starting to take on more importance now. Getting involved in new projects and helping fellow workers will put you in touch with a range of people. You could also make some lasting friendships through your professional connections.

Mental work is invigorating and inspires you to work on long term plans for the future. Changes instigated now will reform situations that aren't working out as expected. Travel and new experiences will enrich your outlook. You can clearly visualise where your life should go. All that remains is to figure out the best way to get there!

No matter what you are doing today you will prefer everything dealt with in a strictly practical way. Incompetent people or those with unrealistic ideas and notions will only cause frustration and irritation. If there are such types sharing your world today, give them a wide berth. Better still, show by example, how a no nonsense hands on approach can lead to worthwhile accomplishments.

A decision concerning finances or an insurance claim has to be made. Think carefully about this matter. You could reach the wrong conclusion because you aren't aware of all the facts. If you feel someone is withholding information from you, get a second opinion. Don't sign or agree to anything until you are certain about what you are doing.

The early hours of the day could be taken up dealing with other people's needs and demands. A certain person in your life is going through a difficult time and you get the chance to be a good friend to them. Whether they need help, advice or a shoulder to cry on they will be glad to have you around. Later, you have some catching up to do but this won't take as long as expected.

Everyday responsibilities aren't as heavy as normal; make the most of a more slow and leisurely pace of life. Adding a bit of humour to discussions and negotiations helps to relax others and puts them at ease. An elderly friend or relative may need help with their finances or in making a necessary purchase. You have a few suggestions to make things easier for them in the future.

New duties put you in a more responsible position giving your confidence a boost. Your boss and others in high places seem content to let you use your judgement in several matters. People who have put their trust in you won't be disappointed. You feel inspired today and others will be impressed with your efforts and your ideas.

Confusion in some early morning arrangements may get things off to a slow start. A bright idea just before noon should get the ball rolling again. If you have recently fallen out with a friend over something trivial and foolish, you might decide now is the time to make up and put such misunderstandings behind you.

You might be nervous about a meeting or arrangement planned for some time over the next few days. Your life could be transformed if a test or interview goes well. The more you prepare for this, the less anxious you will feel. In the course of events you could bump into someone you've not seen for some time. You still have a lot in common. Arrange to meet again as you have a lot to catch up on.
