Private plans are best kept that way as you really don’t know whom to trust at the moment. As much as you’re bursting to tell the world about new projects or ideas, don’t make them public until you know nothing can go wrong and no-one can steal or sabotage your plans.

Don’t take exception if someone sticks their oar into your business, they are only trying to help. Possibly, you’ve been so conditioned to strive for perfection that you think you’re the only one who’s capable of attaining it. Let others in and you’ll find out differently.

A friend or colleague who is known for their lethargy seems unusually industrious. Maybe they’ve turned over a new leaf, or perhaps there’s an ulterior motive - i.e. impressing a VIP. If there’s a reason for their behaviour, don’t lose out, follow their example.

Social obligations interfere with private plans. You can’t help counting how much someone or something is starting to cost you. If it’s money, perhaps you should prepare a new stringent budget. A discussion with a loved-one this evening involves planning for the future.

If you wake-up feeling rough or gruff, think about easing yourself gently into the day to help stave-off possible illness. Life’s too fast because someone else’s foot is on the accelerator and this doesn’t suit you on bit. You need to find the brake and take control.

It doesn’t take a lot to boost your self-confidence and the praise someone puts your way gives your spirits a massive lift. Partners are co-operative, friends affable and strangers friendly. Because of this you’ll see steady progress in personal and joint projects.

If you have any worries about a loved-one’s increasing dependency on another person, drugs or alcohol, say what you think and their reaction will either ease or confirm your suspicions. Don’t be reluctant to seek medical help when the bottom line is someone’s health.

Your first reaction, when you hear of a rumour involving you or someone close is to go berserk. Your second, is to attempt to set the record straight - don’t. All this does is give others more to speculate about. Keep mum and it will blow over more quickly.

An unusual idea for making money out of a hobby deserves more discussion, perhaps even professional advice. Don’t just leave it to the experts, start looking around for outlets yourself and be bold in the use of colour or materials for maximum visual impact.

New ideas attract but you can’t get the thought that you’re doing the wrong thing, out of your mind. Shed any doubts and uncertainties about possibly regretting the changes you are making as they are only delaying the inevitable. Remember too that you won’t get anywhere if you don’t try.

A fortunate mixture of aspects suggests progress in all your efforts. Someone is useful to your ambitions but you may feel as if they are starting to rely on you too heavily for psychological or financial support - you mustn’t encourage their dependency upon you.

A hunch inspires you to put forward ideas that improves your career status or personal standing. Others will be keen to try out your suggestions but in return, show the same kind of interest and consideration in theirs. A little bit of mutual back-scratching works wonders.
