This morning you might try to persuade an idle person not to put off until tomorrow what they can do today. A friend or colleague's lack of energy and initiative is getting you down. Someone may complain of being depressed or under the weather but you have heard it too many times before. You know someone is capable of so much more and you are ready now to give them a push in the right direction!

You will not be deterred by minor complications or awkward people today. Once you have made up your mind, you will put your all into achieving your goals. Problems in a community or neighbourhood venture can be overcome if you persuade others to help you shift a backlog of minor tasks. Getting people to work as a team, could make all the difference.

You're taking a serious and determined approach to the commitments you have recently taken on. This may mean leaving others to gossip the day away; you have too much to do to join in. If you would like to see some career plans turned into reality there may be the need to negotiate and settle on a compromise. People are starting to accept in some areas, change is the only way forward.

You may be drawn into a community exercise and there's a need to make people aware of what's going on. Although there are other ways you could spend the day, you might feel obliged or even inspired to join others in knocking on doors, distributing leaflets and gathering support. A petition is one way of appealing to the powers that be. Everyone has a right to have their opinions heard.

Plans being made now involve ideas you've never considered before. In your enthusiasm you might want to get started immediately. Is this wise? You need something firm and definite to build on and that means putting more thought, planning and organisation into future ventures. It is too early in the proceedings to rush. Don't start running before you can walk.

Even though you might feel tempted to intervene when you notice others are having problems: don't! Conflict between friends or family members will be resolved sooner if they are left to sort things out on their own. You really don't want to be dragged into matters which don't concern you. If asked for an opinion, insist on keeping your thoughts to yourself.

A check of finances might show it is not possible to make a start on plans you had been looking forward to. You feel as if you're being pulled in opposing directions. A part of you wants to go along with other people's fun suggestions, the voice of reason tells you it would not be sensible or wise. Rather than giving up on your hopes altogether, is there a more economical way to carry on?

You won't mean to put your mouth in it but you could say something on impulse today that comes out the wrong way. Not thinking about what you are saying could lead to misunderstandings and confusion. You won't be able to eat your words once they have been spoken. For that reason, be discreet especially when you're mixing with people you don't know very well or sensitive types.

A partner or someone you're going to be working with in the future reminds you of promises made that haven't been delivered. You must make a determined effort to fulfil obligations made in the past. In order to develop ideas and make a start on new plans, it will be necessary to free yourself from other responsibilities. This will not be as difficult as you may have been expecting!

Appealing for a helping hand, either at home or at work may backfire. People aren't as keen to accommodate you even if recently you have put yourself out for them. You are inundated with responsibilities, many of which should be shared. If help is given, the reluctance others feel is obvious. You will wish you hadn't enlisted someone's support as a joint effort is turning into a solo endeavour!

There may be times today when you feel you are banging your head against a brick wall. You don't want to admit it but a romantic partner or close friend's stubborn attitude is leaving you all hot, bothered and frustrated. If you can't come to an agreement, why not just walk away? What you really need now is to get out and enjoy the company of like minded people.

Jobs at home go well; you will encourage a team spirit or others are urging you into a cooperative frame of mind. Whatever your plans you can be certain of your success because everyone is working steadily towards a mutual goal. Evening brings a more tranquil time which not everyone will appreciate. Some will insist on going out and having fun. You intend to relax and make the most of the peace and quiet.
