You're trying to concentrate but don't be surprised if your thoughts have a tendency to wander off into a world of their own. If you can't remain focused, put off matters that need analysis and consideration for another time. Give your imagination free rein and you could come up with some great ideas.

You feel disappointed that someone recommended to you by a friend turns out to be unreliable. You had trusted this recommendation. You might wish you had made further enquiries before agreeing this deal. Don't blame yourself if maybe you were expecting too much from them.

Commitments you have made are starting to make you anxious. You feel uncertain about what you have taken on as this is already proving too much for you. You would prefer more freedom of choice than you currently have. In order to get other people to understand, you need to say what is on your mind.

Praise is coming your way from a superior, for all your recent hard work. It's a good time to establish new friendships. There may be a need to devote some time and effort to learning new routines. Be ready for some startling developments in your professional or personal life.

You respect rules if you can see the reason behind them. You don't like to go against those in authority but this may be what you will have to do today. If someone in high places has decided to change routines that have worked well up to now, speak your mind.

You aren't yet sure how but a private matter seems to have become public knowledge. You need to work out how you are going to cope with this. Don't feel obliged to answer anyone's probing questions just to satisfy their curiosity. Pretending you don't know what they are talking about will get them off your back.

You're worried about having made a wrong investment. Sit tight and resist the urge to make a rash judgement. Help given to a charitable concern either through time, skills or money will be surprisingly satisfying. Don't be surprised if you are invited to join a group of Trustees.

Group activities you had been looking forward to have suddenly lost their appeal. Either you aren't feeling like mixing with a large group of people, even if strict safety rules have been put in place or you've spent so long on your own, you no longer feel any desire to go out in public.

Some people don't realise how you hate to have your freedom curbed. You don't have time to take all their phone calls or to respond to their constant demands. When a manipulative friend or relative tries to take over your life your natural reaction will be to run in the opposite direction.

Those in charge of a team effort are expecting twice as much work from you in half the usual time. You don't like having to cut corners but this will be the only way to meet a deadline. Make this clear when people are pushing you to get the job done.

Having more faith in your talents will improve your future outlook. Prepare well beforehand and you won't be disappointed with the outcome of a meeting or interview. Be sure you don't sell yourself short. After a busy and demanding week, all you will want to do, this evening, is rest, relax and commit yourself to as little as possible.

You don't have to go along with anything you feel unsure about just because that's what people are expecting. If you can see flaws in a project, share your observations. It will be a relief to find that someone else was thinking the same thing and this issue will be addressed in a serious and practical way.
