You don't have to let setbacks and problems holding back a project you're working on, get you down. Look on this as a challenge to show people that not only can you stick it out when the going gets tough, but you can make a success of anything you put your mind to. A new acquaintance might be willing to give you a helping hand and their experience will be invaluable. Some worthwhile results are likely to be seen the moment you act on someone's wise advice.

There's not much you can do but go with a majority vote even if you're one of the minority who are against it. Bide your time if you feel a wrong move is being made. It is possible events will soon show that sometimes the widely held views aren't always right. Things can change so hold on to that thought when it might seem as if everything's going against you. Progress tends to be erratic today and work is generally an uphill slog.

A really good start to the day gives you the confidence and drive to do well in anything you take on. High levels of cooperation along with friendly communication also gives you the chance to get cracking with a particularly heavy work load. If you are in a leadership role, your instructions will be followed to the letter and work mates will be anxious to help your progress. Whatever you put your mind to will be a huge success.

You can't make decisions based on trust and confidence if you are suspicious about another person's motives. Concerns have been raised about how a group, society or joint effort is being handled. Those in positions of authority risk losing the support of the public if they make inappropriate use of their power. Using approachable, answerable and minimal force as much of the time as possible is more likely to achieve a more positive response.

The spotlight is on those in the middle of things but there is also some excitement going on in the sidelines. Sometimes being centre stage isn't so significant when those behind the scenes are using their position to carry out secret manoeuvres you won't be happy about. If a highly charged discussion goes wrong this could undermine the strength of an agreement, alliance or association. You don't want to miss opportunities because you were in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Others may not agree with you but they aren't being irrational despite how it looks. Consider what you see as an emotional reaction may also have a sound and logical basis. Someone is putting their views across in a strongly emotive way. This makes them seem overly touchy but they're also making some very sound observations. Far from being hypersensitive there is every chance a friend or loved one is justified in feeling strongly about a certain situation. They'd really welcome your understanding and support.

There are moments of this day you will look back on with fondness. Your partner or a close friend wants your opinion about something and the question being asked could lead to new plans for the future. Intuition will help you make the choices that are not only right for you but for them too. Deeper levels of understanding in a close partnership will help you identify and maintain your individual roles within your union.

Be sure everyone, including yourself, gets the chance to air your views before changes are made. A team leader, employer or relative is offering a like it or lump it ultimatum but do they have the authority? Others have rights too, so before being swept into the fast lane with instant decisions no one feels ready for, ask those who are in a rush to slow down their pace. You all need a chance to consider ideas and suggestions.

Wise words coming from a friend or workmate inspires you to think about what you really want to do. Another attempt at something that failed in the past may not be the success you had hoped for. The revival of an old relationship or project has come to a shuddering halt when you hit the same kind of problems as previously. On a psychological level you need to accept this isn't meant for you and can never be. Some things just aren't for you.

It's hard to tell the truth to someone knowing they won't like what you say. Even so you're going to be in their bad books if they find out you have been hiding things from them. You need space from a person who practically lives in your pockets these days. If you can't move an inch without them wanting to know where you are going, who with and when you will be back, you will start feeling even more resentful and bitter. To save the relationship, ease off from spending so much time together.

If someone who shares a hold of your purse strings is spending without counting the cost; you are justified in being angry. Another person's carelessness is starting to affect your life and you must take action to safeguard your financial position. In some partnerships you might feel on the verge of giving up as nothing seems to be going right between you. If you can get together and settle your differences, you might feel very differently tomorrow.

There's huge satisfaction in being given the green light to go ahead with ideas that are all your own. Someone close is moody and you get the impression they weren't expecting you to be so successful. New arrangements in your career or social life will affect your personal relationships. For this reason, a partnership is likely to go through some temporary difficulties until you both adapt to changing circumstances.
