There seems to be some confusion in the air. You're still trying to get your head around the repercussions of some recent revelations and you hear something else that shocks you. If mistakes have been made and an apology is necessary, don't waste too much time thinking about it. The sooner you admit to what you've done wrong and show you are remorseful, the sooner a close relationship can get back on the right track.

Avoiding touchy subjects can be a good way to keep life harmonious, but this strategy won't work forever. Sooner or later you're going to have to face up to problems that are affecting a close relationship. The best thing you can do is talk to your partner, perhaps with a suggestion on how you might work things out. Don't expect them to agree with you immediately but give them a chance to think about it once you've spilled out your thoughts.

You won't have to look far for the materials you need for a project you're working on now. Either you will pick them up for a bargain price or a neighbour will have all the tools necessary to finish the job. Someone might volunteer to carry out the task for you if you will do something for them. You might be so engaged with the idea that you will carry out a promise there and then to prove you do mean what you say.

Being near water or the sea brings you emotional and spiritual solace. Like all the Water signs, you can compare your life with the sea: sometimes calm and tranquil, other times stormy. Your nature can be calm but also turbulent and always there are hidden depths. Although often considered gentle, water can carve out great canyons, changing the shape of the earth. Remind yourself of how strong you can be and draw on this strength for the challenges ahead.

Ignoring someone is not a particularly mature way of demonstrating how angry you are with them. You can't admit to feeling as if anything is being resolved if you aren't speaking to each other. It doesn't matter if a friend or partner is being a complete and utter idiot; they deserve a degree of respect and to be treated with some decency. If this relationship is a reasonably new one, it's not going to last long if you don't discuss any grievances.

Rejecting new plans outright knowing the majority will vote for them opens yourself up for conflict. You can't help what you feel and if you're set against these ideas, you can't pretend to be happy to go with the flow. You could be dealing with individuals who have always followed certain patterns or procedures. If new ideas sound too much like what's gone before, prove they're out of date and there are more modern techniques that might be more appropriate.

You've always preferred to be with someone than to be in your own company. Being alone often translates into loneliness and that's why you will cling to a relationship that has past its sell by date. You don't want to go back to a single life again but you can't keep putting off the inevitable. Sometimes breaking up is the best thing to do. If you're single already, it won't be for long. There are a few people you'd be happy to spend your life with.

It may have taken a lot of searching before you've reached this stage but you can confidently say you have found your calling or vocation. How you traverse this path is up to you. If you aren't in a rush to meet your long term goals you might amble down it and enjoy the scenery. Or you could run towards your destination knowing there will be more new options to enjoy when you get there.

It will have seemed like a good idea at the time to agree to remain good friends after a recent break up. You're now wondering whether you're both in agreement about what this actually means. When every little thing you say seems to bring a strong emotional response from your ex and they look as if they want to devour you whenever they look at you, they haven't truly shifted from a romantic relationship to platonic.

Your own company is not enough even if you might wish you only had to rely on yourself. There are tasks you now must do that you cannot manage on your own. The whole point of having friends is so you have people to turn to at times like these. You need help, so ask for it. Interactions with others within the family, workplace and social scene are an important aspect of your life; it's worth cultivating these relationships.

A bad workman may well blame their tools, but it doesn't matter what implements you are using, you just aren't cut out for the work. Any tool can only be as good or useful as the hands that are using it. Others will tell you not to give up too quickly and if you practice you will get it perfect but you know differently. This is a task you won't ever get right. In some hands hammers will build things, in others, they will tear them down.

Organising helps you make good use of your time, sequencing is important. Sticking to a routine helps a team work efficiently together as you become familiar with each other's methods and can anticipate what's going to happen next. You might be annoyed with someone who is a stickler for routine but in some instances details do matter. Be patient and all will work out well, where there is respect for other people's different ways.
