Have patience if a new diet or health regimen doesn't seem to be working. Give it a little longer before you give up altogether. As it is you never expected to get instant results. Give and take is necessary in a close relationship that seems to be going all wrong. You're finding it hard to find this kind of balance at the moment.

You expected a job you are working on to have made more progress by now. You've worked hard to get this far but it isn't far enough. Distractions continue to keep breaking your train of thought and you're starting to wonder if you would be better getting on with this task elsewhere.

Family, domestic and relationship obligations are making you feel restricted. You may have to ask for more space even though you know some people will not understand. A priority will be to find new and better ways of earning a living. Your income prospects are improving. Make the most of any opportunity to increase prosperity.

You won't be putting yourself out to mix with other people. In fact, after a tense conversation early on you will prefer your own company. A workmate will make comments about possible changes to come that cause you some anxiety. The more you worry, the bigger the dint in your confidence. Ignore uncorroborated rumours.

When other people are stuck for ideas or about what to do, you will have plenty suggestions. If asked to take on a leadership role you will be giving it everything. You may not achieve all you set out to do but you will keep pushing and you are putting on a great show.

When people admire your skills they are being sincere. This will be just the boost your confidence needs. Don't disregard the chance to turn a hobby into a money-making venture. Enthusiasm for projects of a personal nature will keep your spirits bright.

Someone takes too late and too long to make an important decision. They have been through many ups and downs lately and it is fear of failure that is holding them back. You may have to put your name forward to take charge of a group effort when the current leader is letting you all down.

Take regular exercise if you are spending too much time in one place. You aren't giving enough thought to your health. Eat healthily and drink plenty of water. If you have just set up home with a partner, you aren't going to agree all of the time. It takes time to get to know each other's ways.

A door in your life is about to close. In a close relationship you have been taking too much for granted. Someone feels neglected and they're starting to explore new directions and possibilities. You might not like what they have to say but you will understand why they feel this way.

Spending a lot of time with a colleague will make you realise how much you both have in common. A working relationship is turning into something more special and more exciting. You don't usually like the idea of mixing business with pleasure but on this occasion try to remain open-minded.

Work and other commitments have been taking you away from your friends. If you're feeling lonely, take a look at the clubs and activities being organised in your area. You may not have a lot of close friends but those you do have are friends for life. An unusual invitation could involve a trip to a place you've never been to before.

There hasn't been enough give and take in close relationships. A colleague or neighbour has been taking your good nature for granted but enough is enough. It is time to start politely but firmly telling them no. Exploring new territory is a strong possibility now that you feel more adventurous.
