A recent disagreement or misunderstanding was influenced more by external factors rather than issues within your relationship. This realisation may bring some comfort. Knowing that your partner's future goals align with yours can help you feel more confident about the life you are building together.

You're under increasing pressure to make ends meet. If you have your own business, red tape is pushing costs up while some competitors don't face the same controls and are able to produce cheaper products. Be prepared to back away from a deal that's losing money.

Be patient with people who strongly oppose ideas you put forward for introducing new technology into the home or workplace. Once they've had a chance to think about it they might see the sense of your suggestions. By the end of the week they may well have changed their mind.

If you're struggling in any area, don't hold back from requesting assistance. Let people know how they can help you. They cannot read your mind. From friendships and professional relationships to your most intimate ones, there is a sense of rapport that gives you a feeling of belonging.

You're wondering whether you really want to continue with something you aren't enjoying. Everyone in a team you are working with has their own ideas. It's hard to reach agreement about anything and it might be better for you to go your own way.

Come straight to the point when discussing subjects that have caused arguments in the past. The best way to avoid misunderstandings is to be direct and honest. No one can accuse you of being secretive or misleading when you say what you are thinking and you mean what you say.

Someone in the workplace or a study group keeps jumping to the wrong conclusions. This is both frustrating and irritating but you will do your best to hide how you feel when you are doing your best to keep relationships harmonious.

Stand your ground and insist that a housemate or workmate shoulders their own share of responsibilities in the home or workplace. They cannot keep expecting you to do everything for them. Don't listen to their excuses. Very soon, you stand to achieve something you have wanted for a long time.

An extra lively and fun-loving mood surrounds you. This inspires you to want to push responsibilities to one side for a while so you can share as much time as you can with friends and, if you are closely linked to another, with your other half.

Attending a glamorous gathering will be a welcome change and if you are single, this will put you on the path to romance. Helping others will be a pleasure especially when some people are genuinely grateful to have your support and assistance.

A workshop, seminar or new course of study will awaken your mind and imagination. You have always been good at communicating your thoughts. What makes life so interesting will be the new ways you are finding to express old truths. Are you single? You have the right impression if you feel a friendship could blossom into romance.

Carrying on with a legal fight saps your energy. Experiences you are going through now circle back to events you have already been through. It's like picking a scab off a wound every time. Emotionally, it's tough on you and your family and friends.
