Achieving a sense of balance in your relationships is an essential component of the day. It is not for you to call the tune, neither should you settle for playing second fiddle. Although it's wise to use diplomacy, you can do so without allowing others to have their own way. You could never play an inferior role in partnerships but you will settle for a compromise which suits you both.

If you're bursting with energy as the day begins, be sure to use this wisely. Reliability is the keyword in that you could become involved in affairs demanding a degree of responsibility and trust. Refuse to allow small hold ups or minor obstacles to impede your progress. With determination you will find a way around these obstructions. You might realise the value of teamwork as the day comes to an end.

You're in a mood to indulge yourself; it is tempting to overspend or overdo. A far more sensible idea would be to aim your energy in a more productive direction. If I tell you most things you tackle will go well and end perfectly, you might make an extra effort to fulfil current obligations today. It's also a good time to look at your lifestyle and streamline routine affairs.

Allowing others to persuade you into splashing out on impulse isn't something you'd normally do. So why is it today you are tempted by the spontaneous suggestions other people put to you? Anything that involves a large amount of expenditure should be approached with caution. Someone who has little or no money sense is starting to have too much influence over you.

You will not be happy if you're working on your own today. The ideal way to shake off any worry or tension is to team up with those who know what they're talking about. Working with others makes for a more progressive atmosphere. It seems fair to assume you will be willing to meet people half way as the overall trend for today is advancement through a team effort.

Other people may not understand your methods but you need structure and organisation in activities you're involved in. For this reason, you should tackle anything important in your own way and at your own pace. Friends and colleagues may seem disorganised and if they take charge, nothing will go according to plan. Your timely intervention could help prevent someone from making a wrong move.

At times today you might feel you're being pulled in opposing directions. People here, there and everywhere seem to be making demands on your time and energy. Even so the day holds plenty of promise if you are ambitious and wanting to get ahead. Your inbuilt Libran ability to get others to work together towards a common goal will come in useful later.

Tempers and emotions are running high within your own four walls. At times you will want to escape but running away won't ease the situation. You may feel reluctant to discuss matters that always end in an argument but this is the only way you will eventually reach a compromise. You might be surprised at how understanding an older relative happens to be.

You are too independent to willingly allow others to make decisions affecting you. No one today will be able to tell you what to do and what not to do. If someone is acting only for themselves you can overcome a desire to retaliate by handling the situation diplomatically. No matter how hard it might be today, it's best to keep any irritation or frustration well hidden.

If a superior has turned down a recent application for a new position or relocation, don't hold this against them. Sometimes other people are restricted in what they can do for you so you mustn't think ill of them. Another opportunity will soon present itself and this one may be more suitable for you. This evening relaxation will be easier to find if you stick to familiar surroundings.

A scheme with too many potential perils will be abandoned and you won't give it a second thought. Decisions today aren't made lightly and you will feel certain you are making all the right choices. Events could generate some deep discussions about long term plans. You have a strong craving for travel or for taking up offbeat activities now.

Ideas for increasing your joint income could have definite possibilities; look into these further. This might call for a general sort out of both personal and partnership finances. Before committing yourself to any enterprise of a long term nature find out more about what is involved and expected of you. By being sensible with you are taking on, you will be taking control of your future.
