A goal you are striving for may seem impossible at first; be content to take one step at a time on the road to success . You aren't wasting time if you're making progress no matter how slight and as you get closer to your aim you will feel more confident. Make a plan if you haven't already got one. This will help you recognise the roads with the better reward rather than paths which take you round in circles. Be organised; it will be worth it!

You can't help incurring some debt if you have to shell out for emergency household repairs or vehicle maintenance. Even if you don't have to borrow, it might seem as if your money is rapidly decreasing as you constantly have to dip into your savings. A loved one has bought into the notion they must buy a certain item to bring happiness and change their life for the better. They won't get your support as the happiness will be temporary but the cost will be felt for some time.

Every time you start building your hopes up these days something seems to happen to burst your bubble. It isn't easy to be hopeful when there's so many things going on around you causing stress and anxiety. Accept each day as it comes and don't try to take on everything at once. Stumbling blocks can be overcome if you are persistent; it's also how you will reverse the negatives into positives.

Someone you recently met now seems so busy they don't have any time to see you. Despite understanding how it feels when days are hectic, you might think that squeezing in a short text message or quick phone call can't be that hard to do. Give it a little more time before you give up on this relationship altogether. If you are interested and would like to give it a chance, it could be they have a genuine excuse for their sudden silence after all!

If you've been patiently waiting for someone to recognise your true worth, it could be your lucky day! At last your boss or a senior colleague acknowledges your recent efforts have been over and above the call of duty. Follow up a tip from a workmate as their inside knowledge and know how could boost your salary and career prospects. Be flexible about plans for the evening; a partner has some cheering news too.

Getting over a recent argument or break-up will take time; don't be annoyed with yourself for feeling down. The intensity of feelings will decline to a point where you can recall a person or incident without it hurting. What also helps is to get on with your life. If a romance is over, get out and date others. If this was a first love, it may be remembered all your life but with some slight relief too, that it didn't last.

Don't keep all your worries and anxieties bottled up inside; this will only make you ill. It will be a relief to discuss things with a sympathetic friend and get it all off your chest. Naturally you don't want to be a nuisance and no-one will feel you are being so; in fact they will be pleased you confided in them. As well as the emotional relief, you will get a new perspective on your problems and the sensible suggestions of a wise and trusted friend.

A project you recently began is starting to go smoothly; you feel more at home with new procedures. You will get the chance later in the day to deal with outstanding matters which need close concentration and a slow, steady pace. You easily grasp the importance of messages and instructions given to you by others. This evening, within the family, you need to be tactful over a controversial issue.

Supporting a friend may backfire when it turns out the information you based your advice on was false. Worse than that, others might feel you are interfering and now in certain areas, you just flat out disagree. So how do you patch things up? You might try to win your friend back by explaining how badly you wanted to help and how you hadn't meant to get in the way. Conciliation and compromise make for a peaceful life today.

Your boss or a senior colleague seems to be buckling under pressure; if you're asked, agree to take on some of the work. No matter how high the position, they're human too and aren't immune to stress or ill health. That said, you cannot give up all your time to others to the point your work starts to suffer. Get the balance right between your responsibilities and assisting colleagues. You might receive excellent news concerning your future prospects late in the day.

Friends are making a habit of keeping you up late to socialise or to talk in the evenings. This might help them unwind but whatever claimed relaxing effect there might be for them it must be weighed up against the sleep debt building up for you. If you have work in the mornings and tiredness is starting to affect your performance, you can't keep up with other people's schedules. Develop your own and try to get some more sleep!

A relative might think your partner or a new friend is wrong for you but will they reveal their reasons? If they know something you don't, they should come out and say so. Hints and intimations won't work for you. Even so you will listen to their concerns especially if they insist they have your best interests at heart, but so long as you don't know why they feel a certain way, you will prefer to choose your friends for yourself.
