Someone's misuse of power is bothering you. They are using their position to threaten you and others in your workforce with redundancy or a reduction of pay. Pleasing them often means working overtime without any reward. A demand they make today will be the final straw and will prompt you to take your reservations to a higher authority.

Morning trends will go smoothly. Between midday and evening, be ready to encounter frustrations or irritation regarding travel and communication. Allow plenty of time for journeys, double check travel bookings and times of appointments and meetings. If you are travelling don't pack anything that can't be replaced in your suitcase.

A commitment, job or relationship is sapping your emotional and mental energy. There are things you can do to improve the situation. Even so, someone isn't going to be happy and things could get worse before they get better. There is a competitive atmosphere in the air, both within your career and social worlds.

People are gathering to campaign against a community project you helped initiate. You accept it will be a challenge getting funding but you aren't going to give up on this. It would be a good idea to rally up some support of your own. A chance to improve your job prospects will not be what it seems. Think carefully before taking up a professional proposal.

A challenge you took on has been more difficult than expected. It will be with some relief that you can now say the end is in sight. Pushing ahead to achieve this aim is what you intend to do for this will allow you to begin again in some areas of your life with a clean slate.

There are two ways to look at life today: either the glass is half full or it is half empty. A friend or older relative who always looks on the bright side will remind you of everything you have to be grateful for. If you're trying to persuade your boss or someone in power to take your views seriously, some gentle persuasion will work wonders.

You've got into the habit of handing over responsibilities to other people the minute you come up against a challenge. Instead of going to others to ask for help, try tackling a difficult matter on your own. This is what you will be encouraged to do and there is a lot you will learn about yourself by doing so. You are capable of far more than you realise.

Are you giving the past too much control over your choices, decisions and actions? If so you could miss out on some great opportunities. Before making up your mind about a matter that could have long-term consequences, consider the possibility that you are allowing past experiences to influence your judgement.

There's a nagging suspicion that there is something going on in the background between two people and what they are planning is more to their advantage than yours. You aren't sure what is going to happen but you will be very much aware of the need to look after your own interests.

Don't beat about the bush. If there is something you don't want to do, tell others now. Be honest about how you feel. If you're having second thoughts about family arrangements or a domestic project you had been in agreement about up until now, admit it. Whatever has caused you to change your mind, it won't be trivial.

You want to sort out a joint financial matter but a partner will be nowhere to be found. You have a feeling they are deliberately avoiding this discussion. At least you can discipline yourself now to keep an eye on your financial priorities. That also means you should avoid getting drawn into other people's schemes or money problems.

A profitable venture is in sight and yet you're already worrying about how you will cope when this financial well runs dry. Focus on the here and now and leave the future to take care of itself. This is not the only good opportunity coming your way; there will be more and you will be working on similar enterprises in the future.
