A lively day is likely when sporting activities and social events bring you a degree of recognition. You're in a great mood and if single, you will be on the receiving end of some approving looks from a certain person. Give full rein to your innate zest for action. You might be outspoken when it comes to the need to get your own way but others seem to appreciate your assertiveness at the moment.

An impending clash with a loved-one makes you wonder whether you should avoid them. At the same time, you want to get to the bottom of certain issues. Someone isn't in a hurry to reveal information you need to satisfy your curiosity but you shouldn't give up. Confusion could lead to wrong decisions. Press for answers but do your best to keep the peace.

It would be a good idea to catch up on anything you were perhaps forced to neglect yesterday. Your purposeful mood will be shared by those spending the weekend with you. Being physical and sharing activities - even if just getting on with your usual household chores - will be fun and healthful too. Your mood is an altruistic one and you will be happy to put yourself out for others.

If your finances are linked with another's in any way, some of their ideas will be difficult to get your head around. If when you first hear them, you're inclined to argue, think again. Listen carefully before you throw cold water on new ideas and suggestions. Put time aside to quietly discuss and consider all angles. Keep an open mind and you will start seeing things from a new perspective.

Put some time aside today to consider your own desires and ambitions. A little time for quiet consideration will help you decide whether some of your aims are still important to you. Don't make rushed decisions. Good news about a personal matter brings a happy note into the afternoon. If you've invited friends over for dinner, being too ambitious in the kitchen could mean it will all go sadly wrong!

You intend to get on with your own plans today, no matter what anyone might say. It makes no difference what others are of a mind to do, you just know you can get on faster without them. You will also feel happier if you can work quietly on whatever you feel is important. Steering clear of boisterous company is your aim. Happily there's scant chance anyone will place any obstacles in the way.

Within your own four walls, be patient. You might make an extra effort with certain chores only the people who matter don't seem to notice. If others aren't expressing their appreciation, don't let them see you're offended. Before too long they will make up for their oversight. In the meantime, your social life and love relationships fall under favourable Stars. Don't let this go to waste!

An extravagant spirit seems to have gone to someone's head; for the moment resist the urge to say anything. Time will show that there is method to their madness. What looks to be a touch of extravagance or over-generosity will prove to be a prudent move. If you're strapped for cash but fancy an evening out, suggest to a friend or loved-one that you pool your resources.

Outside commitments mean you aren't able to spend a lot of time with someone special. If there are important things you want to discuss or messages to pass on, do this early on in the day. You might feel your loyalties are being tested. Do you give in to a loved-one's demands or get on with responsibilities elsewhere. If there isn't time to do both, arrange it so that one gets attention today and the other, next weekend.

Aim to keep plenty of entertaining company around you. Whether you're relaxing or keeping busy with weekend duties, you will enjoy yourself more if you have someone to chat to. The general pace of the day will be fast and furious. There is a lot going on to keep you on the go. You could get a spectacular bargain if you attend an auction, market or car-boot sale.

It is said that one good turn deserves another. So, if you need help and a friend owes you a favour, maybe it's time to call in their dues. Alternatively, if someone looks as if they're in need of a helping hand or a sympathetic ear, find it in your heart to volunteer. Through doing someone a good turn you will be stockpiling kindness for yourself should you need it in the future.

Standing gossiping will not be a waste of your time as someone might suggest. During the course of such conversations, you could hear news about a long-lost friend you've recently been wondering about. You might also be given the information needed to get in touch again. An invitation this evening could be a turning-point in your social life or career. Someone you're introduced to will be making you an exciting offer in the future.
