Get your teeth into official matters. By doing so you could discover you are owed money from institutions or government departments that you wouldn’t have known about. Ring up help lines or get assistance from Citizens’ Advice Bureaux who can tell you how to do it.

Your day has a division running through it. This morning is excellent for any commercial, financial or travel matters. In stark contrast after about two this afternoon what appears to be promising is actually just an illusion so take care what you agree to.
