Don't think you can beat time by rushing and pushing your way through life. Sooner or later you will trip over yourself in your hurry! You're only deluding yourself if you think you can constantly do the work of two without suffering from it either healthwise or through the quality of your work in the future. Stay calm when it seems like you've got more to do than anyone else and if possible put some tasks on the back burner until you can give them the attention they deserve.

You might base opinions on fact but there is someone nearby who is forming all their assumptions on fantasy! It won't be easy to persuade others they aren't seeing a situation for what it is but if this is important to you, eventually you will get them to pay attention. Your mood is determined and this is just as well. Someone is testing your patience to its limits. Never before have you dealt with such a stubborn yet na ve person!

You're edging even closer to the goals you are aiming for and not a lot of people realise this. For some reason someone is doing their best to undermine your efforts and you aren't sure what to make of their behaviour. It could be their comments and actions are designed to knock your confidence or slow you down. Therefore the best thing you can do is ignore any snide remarks. Just get on as you are doing and you won't go wrong.

Working with others will be more fulfilling than trying to paddle your own canoe. Sometimes sharing the work can make all the difference as you will also be sharing talents, experience and knowledge as well as the responsibility. No matter how much you were looking forward to carrying out something on your own, you may have to admit the job was more complex than you first thought. Progress will be far quicker if you join forces with another.

You thought you were prepared for situations arising today when you were half expecting certain things to happen anyway. What surprises you are your feelings and reactions are far more powerful than you anticipated they would be. Someone close might back out of joint plans. Although you might feign indifference, deep down you are affected by their decision. You hide your disappointment well but have you considered that if you showed your true feelings, other people just might change their mind?

A deadline looms closer; you could buy yourself some time by asking for an extension. Even so, a concentrated effort would help you get through an enormous amount of work in just a few hours. Avoid mixing with loud or aggressive people as they will only distract you. Also someone's trying to get your support in an area you don't want to get mixed up in. Insisting you have other important things to do will be the best excuse to get you out of having to deal with this.

A person you're working with might decide to walk out and secretly you're relieved. You never got on well with each other anyway and now you feel more able to pursue your ideas without their constant criticism. Media events could be linked with a personal or professional interest. Although you will find the publicity a little daunting, the positive response and support received from the public will make it well worth that small amount of inconvenience.

It might seem futile to continue with a job, project or assignment that doesn't seem to be making any progress. Either you're being impatient and expecting results too quickly or you're being sensible and know it is time to accept defeat. You can't always be successful in what you do and this isn't a sign you're useless or incapable. It is quite possible you've taken on something that's beyond you at the moment and the adult way to handle this is to bow out with grace.

You can sense the brighter skies behind today's little troubles; this keeps you going strong. The accent today seems to be on responsibility and it is entirely possible you will be taking on another person's duties when they can't cope with it all. You're doing well and will continue to do so as long as you don't get too obsessed with details. When you're tired and find you can't think straight, take a break as you really don't want to muck it all up after getting this far.

It isn't easy to relax even if you would love to let go, loosen up and have some fun. There's something going on at home or in the work place that's going to take a lot of patience and persistence to resolve. You might sense there are secrets in the air and this isn't helping you feel at ease. What really bugs you now is the way other people seem to expect you to sort everything out when some things are far too complex for you to be able to handle on your own.

Don't get into arguments with an arrogant know it all as these will only leave you feeling upset and frustrated. You are not taking offence too easily as someone may accuse you of doing. Their behaviour leaves a lot to be desired and you aren't the only person who feels insulted by their attitude. If you must deal with a matter which has links with some egotistical people, do your best to add your input from behind the scenes.

Progress is slow and waiting for some things to get done will be like watching paint dry. You're keen to reach a deadline you've set for yourself but others don't seem to be in any hurry. It's no use urging people to get a move on when they've probably already noticed your agitation. If they are doing their best you might feel slightly ashamed about expecting too much from them as it is most unlike you to be so demanding.
