Start the day with few commitments as it probably won't be until after midday that you start to wake up properly! If you've been wondering about how far you can trust a new associate, their decisions or actions today will give you the answer. When it becomes apparent someone is looking after their own interests with no thought of anyone else, you'd be wise to distance yourself from this person.

You could do with something new and different to get your teeth into now. You are restless and more adventurous than normal. If those who know you well start teasing you because of this sudden change in your personality, don't take any notice. Just because you're a stickler for routine doesn't mean you don't how to have fun. As you will be proving to everyone today!

You might exaggerate minor financial worries in your mind or you're too anxious about a coming event. You can't get something or someone out of your head. Whenever you are on your own, your thoughts return to this one subject. If you're spending more time than usual alone and you have any doubts about this, aim to include at least one other person in your plans.

You might be thinking about cutting loose from joint activities that seem to be going nowhere. Or it becomes evident some changes need to be made within important relationships. Severing your links with a possessive person will be the best thing you've done in a long time. You will get so much more opportunity over the months ahead, to add to your list of friends.

Business links well with pleasure; how can anyone resist your charm and charisma? A colleague could put some interesting ideas your way. A friend might have information that helps you progress your business aims. A business lunch may also have romantic connotations. Discussions involve matters that are of interest to you and you will be thoroughly investigating all possibilities.

If you're single and lately you've been trying to summon up the courage to ask someone out on a date, do it today. If they say yes, this could be the start of the relationship you've been waiting for all your life. If they refuse, at least you'll waste no more time pining for something you can't have and you will be free to look elsewhere for your soulmate. Don't worry: he or she is out there somewhere!

It's difficult to communicate with someone in the family whose ideas are always the best. You feel you can't spend any more time with someone who is interested in no one but themselves. You will be most welcome at a club or society where there are other people who share your interests. It will do you good to mix with people who are on the same wavelength and to do things to please yourself and not your loved ones!

You will thrive today in situations that provide you with a mental challenge. Feedback and advice you receive from someone who understands your situation and intentions will be positive and encouraging. If you are working you will feel more secure in your job due to some unexpected news received later in the day. Evening is good for spending time with your loved ones as a family unit.

Decisions you're making which involve a lot of money will be spot on. For this reason don't allow yourself to be swayed off course by the doubting comments of those around you. People are well meaning in the advice they put your way but they may not know what they're talking about. Have faith in your own judgement. It's unlikely to let you down.

A friend or colleague is trying to include you in some evening plans which aren't your idea of fun. You will only feel irritable and miserable if you go along with their suggestions. Instead find a way to politely refuse and leave yourself free to do your own thing. Generally you will find social affairs at this time will lacklustre and are best avoided!

Since you need something a little different now, you will happily drop what you're doing if a better offer comes along. You will have no objections for instance to any out of the ordinary requests that come your way this morning. There will be more pleasure at the end of the day through acting on a spontaneous whim than from continuing with routine activities.

Today's program centres on the goings on of the people around you. You are sensitive to another person's difficult plight and with their needs being greater than yours they will get all the support and encouragement they are expecting from you. Although you have your work cut out when you volunteer to help someone out, their gratitude makes it so you won't forget this day in a hurry.
