Get drawn into problems that aren't your concern and before you know it, they will become your business! Trying to help someone comes naturally to you but eventually your support will be taken for granted. They will start depending on you too much and this will become a major inconvenience. Offer words of advice by all means, but don't do any more than that. Give yourself a good talking to if you're about to step in and try to help resolve another person's difficulties.

It's hard to admit your recent behaviour has been causing others to look at you with some bitterness or resentment. It could well be you were offered something someone else wanted, or you are about to achieve an award or receive an offer there has been some competition for. Whilst you understand why people feel the way they do, you also know they had as much chance as you and you have won this contest fairly and squarely.

Some areas of life will make significant progress; others remain at a standstill. No matter how you try to get them moving, you seem to come up against a brick wall. You're determined to focus on your future and you will refuse to allow other people's negative attitude deter you. There is no excuse for not realising your dreams. You are intent on succeeding and your positive thinking will help you find a way around today's hurdles.

A business or personal partnership lacks the sparkle or usefulness it once had. The encouraging comments of a friend or relative will give you the confidence to instigate changes. Despite your apprehension, you know you are making decisions with your own and other people's best interests at heart. Moving away from old commitments will bring you opportunities to help you rediscover talents and assets you've not used in some time.

Confusing concerns over a joint money matter won't be easy to resolve. A lack of communication seems to have left you in the dark about things which are going to affect your future plans. Once everything has been clarified and explained, you will feel more able to make decisions. There won't be as much to worry about as you had thought. A friend makes an interesting proposal. Whether it relates to business or pleasure, it could be far too good to turn down.

You've made too many resolutions at the start of the year and this will make it many times harder to keep them. In your enthusiasm, you have set goals that aren't as reachable as you first thought and now you're taking a more practical view to your long term aims. Revising these and deciding on the most important ones is the first step towards you making progress in the future. Then it's all a matter of getting into a routine and sticking at it.

Discussions which start off light hearted could develop into something more frenzied and heated. You might wonder how the atmosphere turned so hostile so quickly and there is someone in particular who seems to be enjoying the conflict. At least you realise nothing will be resolved in this way and your calm intervention will help get things back onto a more civilised level. By this evening you will feel emotionally exhausted.

Curiosity could cause hassles; start digging into the past and you never know what you might dig up. Even if you're intrigued and want to know the truth about an incident that's preying on your mind, bringing it up in conversation could cause someone a lot of stress. The key to keeping relationships harmonious is to consider other people's feelings and to encourage loved ones to start moving forward towards shared short term goals.

Keep a mental note of all you have to do today and over the days ahead. Better still write a list and tick items off as you do them. Don't blame yourself if you can't find the time to fit in everything. While hard work comes naturally to you, it's impossible to do the work of two and it's what people seem to be expecting of you now. If you aren't able to delegate, prioritise. It might feel as if a boss or someone in authority is deliberately trying to hold you back.

You're trying to prove something to someone but is this leading you into taking on far too much? In your enthusiasm to establish yourself in your career or to prove you are worthy of a promotion, you might volunteer to do jobs other people could and should by rights be doing. Too much responsibility will mean you aren't able to give proper attention to important tasks so why not look for a way to reduce those commitments?

You are open to new thoughts and ideas regarding almost anything now. Where your own ambitions are concerned, you've always been precise about your aims. You know exactly what you want and how to go about achieving it. Even so, you are alert to everything else going on around you and if someone is doing anything underhand, you will be the first to notice. Plan something different if you're hoping for a twosome evening.

Something special is achieved today but you won't gloat over your good luck. You are acutely aware of another person's disappointment or the fact a friend or associate has a lot to worry about. You might wish you could do more for others but sometimes you have to leave them to sort out their own problems and this is one of those times. A few words to let them know you care is enough. You should be focusing on your own concerns today.
