When challenged over a secret there’s little choice but to tell all if you want to escape embarrassment or blame. The past will have a tendency to catch up with you sooner or later but some things are easier dealt with now rather than spend your life on tenterhooks.

Sudden changes in long term arrangements will knock your well-planned schedule for six. Avoid the temptation to take risks of any sort in the hope that they will save you time: believe me they won’t. A minor upset is the least of your worries today.

A series of mixed Lunar aspects incline you to be somewhat spendthrift. However if you concentrate your wastrel ways on pleasure then things could get out of hand. Doing without is not a prospect you relish so leave the plastic under lock and key.

Putting your faith into others will lead to upset as no-one does anything right and you can’t help but get annoyed or feel let down. Continuous aggravation is jarring on your nerves. Keep control over your emotions to maintain a more balanced outlook.

You are well aware that it’s plain, dogged perseverance that turns dreams into reality, but your immediate challenge is to try telling that to someone who leaves you with all the donkey work. They pin too many of their own hopes on you which just isn’t fair.

What you have to do far outweighs the responsibilities of others so why do they rely on you - or more pertinently, why do you let them? Stress is at the root of aches and pains. Exercise or a massage will help speed up your sluggish circulation or reduce tension.

You might sense or notice a slow shift in the attitude of someone you care for but this doesn’t signify the end of a relationship forever. Allow space for a person or partner to develop in their own individual way and you too will reap the benefits later.

The hardest thing to understand now is how people can change their mind at the drop of a hat without giving a fig about letting people down. The easiest things to cope with are jobs that require solo-effort. There is one person you can rely on - yourself!

Take extra care when dealing with legal or official correspondence and don’t expect too smooth a time of it if involved in property transactions or financial discussions. Information received could be misleading so check it out before acting on it.

A stranger or neighbour makes you an offer that knocks the wind out of your sails. Whether it’s to do something that is against your morals or something of a more personal nature, play for time until you’ve got to know each other a little better.

Despite feeling as if too much is being expected of you, don’t give up the ghost as something good will come of it. If you’re trying to persuade a person to go along with an unusual or unconventional idea, honey will get you further than vinegar. Be charming.

You feel nervous about meeting someone you don’t get to see very often, if ever, but it’ll be alright on the night. Forgetfulness could prove a problem so either write down the things you have to do or ask for a prompt from someone you can trust or rely on.
