A recently made friend seems only interested in themselves. They're getting repetitive and you're growing bored hearing all about them. Since you can't get them to listen to you and what you have to say you might decide it is time to ease away from this friendship.

Long-term arrangements are being made. You like to feel you are completely in control of these but if you're offered any advice you should be prepared to listen. You could discover you hadn't thought of everything and in fact you will be impressed by the organisational qualities of a new friend.

You've been living on a tight budget for longer than you care to remember. It hasn't been easy to make ends meet. Some good news will mean the end is in sight. This is what you've been hoping for and although you still need to be careful with cash, you will soon be back on your financial feet.

The main aim in joining forces with a colleague is that together you can finish an important assignment. You will admire their fiery personality and they will certainly make you laugh but you will quickly find yourself wondering how serious they are about getting the work done. For now, you will keep such thoughts to yourself.

Someone could do with some help with a job they should never have taken on. You can see how they are struggling and you will be happy to oblige. Even if this is something you have never done before, you will pick up things very quickly. You could be surprised to discover you have skills you've never given yourself credit for.

A friend or neighbour will insinuate that a legal situation could go against you. They may have been through something similar before but this doesn't make them an expert. Instead of worrying, you should seek the advice of a professional. At least then you will know whether or not you really should be concerned.

A group project will give you a chance to put your creative skills to good use. You might even uncover one or two lost talents while working as a team. These could be skills you will want to develop further. It will take a lot of practice but it will be worth it to realise your full potential.

The power of suggestion can work strongly on your behalf especially regarding a special hope you haven't told many people about. You are waiting for the go-ahead from someone special before making a start on some long-term plans. Put your powers of persuasion to good use and you will receive the positive response you are hoping for.

It is rare for you to dwell on negative thoughts. You're spending too much time brooding over a past mistake. Nothing can be achieved by this and it won't do your confidence any good to keep pulling yourself down. It is time to put it all behind you and turn your thoughts to the future instead.

Sticking with the same routines gives you a sense of emotional security. It doesn't bother you to have to do repetitive tasks and you will even volunteer for these if colleagues and teammates complain. Still, if someone suggests you're stuck in a rut, think about this seriously. You could do with adding a little stimulation into your life.

You might come to some interesting decisions simply through listening to the ideas of those around you. Someone will notice that you don't seem to have a lot to say during a group discussion. For now, you would rather hear than be heard. Listening to what is being said will give you ideas on how to make progress.

Do your best to stay calm and show an optimistic outlook in the face of an unexpected hindrance. People are looking to you for guidance and you are aware of the challenges this brings. Your placid manner will be a shield if this turns into a big problem for it will mean you have some control of the situation.
