Keep your mind firmly fixed on the practical. Allowing fanciful ideas to lead you away from tried and tested methods could be a bad idea when it will take you three times as long as usual to complete mundane tasks and duties. Don't let your imagination run away with you.

A professional, political or religious matter is a one you will feel strongly about. Yet you could find yourself discussing such subjects with someone who has opposing views. Hold on to your beliefs in the face of opposition. To back down will bring later regrets.

You're in for a hectic ending to the month but you can console yourself with the knowledge that most of the time, if you feel overwhelmed, you can walk away and return when you feel less anxious. In situations where this is impossible you will find a hidden reserve of energy to keep going.

Situations can change quickly and dramatically. People will express disappointment and even anger when their travel plans are disrupted. There was always a possibility this could happen but they chose to ignore the signs that this was going to be a high possibility. You are more accepting; what will be, will be.

Something you do regularly may go wrong and this will take you by surprise. It may be because you weren't concentrating but whatever the reason this could cause a few problems. If you're using machinery or spending a lot of time driving around, an extra degree of caution is advised.

Romance could have its upsetting moments when a lover's tiff will leave you feeling disheartened. Don't let this get you down too much as once tempers have cooled, your partner will be willing to talk and you will agree on a compromise which should suit you both.

Your social life will take on an added interest as someone new moves into your neighbourhood. Hobbies you are both interested in will bring you together and when you are together, time will fly by. News from a friend who lives some distance away will fill you with optimism as you start planning a future holiday.

Your views in a professional situation will be taken seriously by those around you. Just don't let this go to your head. A cautious approach must be taken. Your advice is likely to be followed so be sure you know what you are talking about. Mistakes will serve to put you a step back.

You want to achieve a certain goal and you won't let anything or anyone stand in your way. It doesn't matter what other people are doing or planning or how they approach their work. You are determined to get a move on. Just be careful that overwork does not have a negative effect on your health.

If a task you are trying to tackle seems beyond your capabilities, leave it for another day. It will be frustrating and a waste of time going round in circles. When you return to this job, be ready to ask for help. Once you see a professional at work, you will understand how and where you have been going wrong.

There is emphasis on money matters and family concerns and these are likely to be linked in some way. If you are thinking about starting on some major home repairs, spend some time choosing the right contractor. Talk to friends and neighbours and someone will be able to recommend a trusted tradesman.

New interests will mean you have less time for your social life. One friend will complain they feel neglected. If this relationship means a lot to you, you will do your best to make it up to them. If you feel they are making too many demands on you, private interests give you a good excuse to avoid them.
