You are ready to push for a degree of independence in the workplace. An older colleague expects you to go along with their ideas all of the time. If they aren't in a position above you, why should they treat you as if they are the boss when they're not?

Someone in power will be taking a serious and in-depth look at an issue that has been going on for some time. This is a step in the right direction. People who have been experiencing problems recently or in the past will be asked to come forward.

Give in to a whim to try something new and different or to get away from it all. Follow your passion. Start planning a weekend break. The destination won't matter as much as you being able to appreciate a change of scenery and if someone special is joining you, spending quality time together.

If you agree to loan a friend or relative some money, you will know too that you aren't likely to get it back. For that reason, only offer loans if you can really afford it. People need to understand you have your own financial obligations too. Evening social plans will fall apart when someone uses ill health as an excuse to pull out of their obligations.

You will feel as if you are starting to make better progress with a business or legal matter. It is easier to get results when you are honest in your answers and direct about communicating your experiences, feelings and desires. Keeping information to yourself will only make people dealing with this impatient.

New doors open up for you. There is excitement in the air. Some people will not understand why you are taking a cautious approach but you will want to examine an offer or opportunity in greater detail before deciding on what to do next.

A senior colleague or someone in uniform will be expecting you to drop everything to do what they demand. You will not feel happy with the ultimatum they offer. At the same time, you may not have a lot of choice about it.

Listen to all that is being said in meetings and get-togethers. You could learn a lot from a chat with an important executive. There will be subtle hints about future opportunities that will be missed by those who aren't paying attention. Be sure you aren't one of them.

A housemate or workmate has fallen into the habit of leaving others to carry out their responsibilities. They take it for granted that if they aren't around someone else will do their jobs for them. Not so today. When they return they are going to have a pile of work to return to.

Stress could stem from work and family obligations. You're doing fine in making it appear as if you are coping admirably when inside you feel you are crumbling under the pressure. Helping a relative out financially is putting a strain on your own budget. Sooner or later they are going to have to manage their problems on their own.

You cannot continue with a team when the methods of those in high places go against your conscience. After giving this some careful thought, you will know what to do that is right for you. An ethical matter is causing you the most concern. You will deal with this situation with calm assurance.

You're tired of having to give in to someone who always wants their own way. Try to arrange it so you aren't as available to them in the future as you have been of late. Problems will be short-lived if you deal with concerns as and when they arise.
