A friend may have to cancel plans already made at the eleventh hour. If you have to scrap ideas on how you were going to spend your time, don't think it will be a totally lost day. You might put some creative ideas to work and give your home a facelift. Or you could always make a start on plans that have been in the pipeline for some time.

You might give up on finding a purchase to suit your pocket; if there is something you really want to buy, keep looking. At home, if things go wrong, instead of letting this get you down, suggest ways to improvise. You might feel as if all your recent efforts were in vain when a project doesn't go as it should. You will find a way around the problem if you don't give up too soon!

Something makes you hesitate about pursuing a friendship or romantic relationship. You wonder whether to persevere or do you step back now before you get in too deeply? Is it the fear of commitment holding you back? If you make the wrong choice today you will regret it tomorrow. Relax and let your instincts guide you.

Plans and ideas you've not given a lot of thought to start taking shape in your mind. After spending quiet time in contemplation, thoughts that were vague and unclear are now more solid. Ambitions based on activities you enjoy will have a firmer foundation as you bring ideas to fruition. Evening trends are less quiet when a steady stream of visitors will keep you on your toes.

You are in the mood to relax and let your hair down. The chance to travel and get away from it all will not be something you will turn down in a hurry. Plans and ideas for the day could be costly but you won't be worrying about this at the moment. It's a good time to promote your career and long term prospects unless you prefer to focus on less serious matters for a wee while.

You can think of a dozen ways to keep some bored youngsters happy. Whether you are looking after someone else's children or it is your own offspring you're spending the day with, it will do you good to let yourself go and enjoy their undemanding company. If you're single, a date this evening with someone newly met could be more exciting than you had hoped for!

Your imagination is working at peak levels; this helps you develop your personal skills and improve your relationships. There is a lot of happiness through sharing your interests with friends and loved ones. Added to all this, romance will not be in short supply. Your prospects for the day could hardly be more promising!

Be quick and think of a suitable excuse before you find yourself taking on commitments you could do without. A friend or colleague won't hesitate to prey on your kind nature. Find out what people are after before agreeing to do them a favour. By omitting some important points, someone deliberately bends the truth to their advantage.

Weird thoughts and ideas strike from out of the blue; some could be worth pursuing. You aren't being irresponsible by downing tools and considering new means and methods to get the job accomplished. Consider how you might put some thoughts to practical use and those around you will admire you for your inventive thinking.

You won't mind making personal sacrifices if it's necessary to make your home life more fulfilling and secure. A good long talk with housemates will help you correct past mistakes and consider future options. Pursue a renovation or redecoration project you have put aside for too long. If a new relationship seems slow to get started, give it time to develop.

Not all ideas will work at this time but you can always fall back on contingency plans. You aren't short of suggestions should anyone stumble into problems. Your positive attitude and bright mind makes this a constructive and productive time. Where other people are about to give up, you will find a way to keep them motivated. Trouble shooting is the key to success.

A loved one may make spur of the moment plans which don't involve you; you might wonder what to do. There is some important business which should by now be out of the way. Take the chance to isolate yourself and get on with it today. Although you may not get everything done it won't be long before you start seeing some positive results. Use humour to lighten a tense situation in the evening.
