You must be sensible, these days, about the way you handle money. Dip into your savings too regularly and this could cause future problems. The pleasure you get from squandering your cash will be short lived. So be warned, you could fall flat on your face unless you keep your feet planted firmly in the ground. Spend only on necessities. You can always treat yourself another time; for now you need to economise and build a better budget for the future.

You have a particular skill that will come in useful early in the day. Other people might be in a rush to get things done and this will lead them into making careless mistakes. You will take it slowly as you want to get it right first time. Your interest is triggered by an opportunity to fulfil a personal or professional ambition. Again, patience will be needed as results won't be immediate. You will be quite happy to bide your time.

A group is suffering due to lack of leadership or inappropriate guidance from those in charge. It might be necessary to go above their heads to bring the situation back under control. If this means someone must stand down and allow others to take a lead, then so be it. It may be the only way to keep an organisation going. Someone is reluctant to admit to their weaknesses but once they do, expect to see more balance within a group's structure.

There's a strong sense of society and people all pulling together today. Activity will centre on a team effort and you will feel proud to be taking such an active part. Not everything will be effortless but the positive spirits of those around you will help resolve all problems you do come across. This should also be a successful day if you are involved in educational pursuits, organising a recreational project or teaching.

You are intent on breaking out of tried and tested routines. Your instincts will also guide you when it comes to deciding what to do with your leisure time. A friend or loved one may not be keen to go along with your suggestions but you won't let this worry you. For today, you are happy to do your own thing and this isn't making you selfish. For in pursuing your own interests you are also leaving other people free to do whatever they want to do too!

A person you're competing against today is not a very good loser. You might even be tempted to let them win just to keep them from being cross and upset. Maybe they need a lesson on how to lose gracefully? If someone is sulking, they are likely to turn up late for an event or not show their face at all. This could put you in the awkward position of having to make excuses for them to hide their immature behaviour. One day they will realise this kind of behaviour is to their detriment.

Tread carefully in joint affairs; find a balance between your own needs and those of your partner. It might be necessary to consider other people's worries and uncertainties. Even if you feel they're exaggerating problems, the more you appear to take them seriously, the more you will be able to put their mind to rest. Where you should not commit yourself too deeply is in any area that might involve too high a risk. Focus on leisure interests this evening.

Your practicality and resourcefulness will be a salvation as you rescue a situation that looked unsalvageable. A split second decision could see you diving in and helping out when it is clear no one else could cope. Your practical state of mind will also gain you praise from those who couldn't have managed without you. Approval will come from some unexpected places! Home life may be iffy but you can't have it all!

Stretch your mental powers and you will be amazed at what your mind conjures up today. Activity could centre on your domestic world and if all goes according to plan you should soon be seeing some improvements in this area. In your dreams everything will be over and done with without too much hassle. In reality there will be problems to iron out before you get to see the end result!

You will make a conscious effort to keep a calm and positive attitude towards today's events. There will be a chance to take a peep down new avenues or experiment with different schemes and routines. You are ready for a change although it has taken you a wee while to admit this even to yourself. Opportunities will come through the people you meet and mix with now.

Despite the brittle atmosphere in a close relationship you're in a positive go ahead mood. You're full of energy with some excellent work oriented ideas that should achieve fairly rapid cash results. You will also jump at the chance to purchase something useful for the domestic scene. This must be grasped quickly or someone else will beat you to what's on offer. Your partner isn't likely to grumble when they realise what a bargain it is.

A man is working on your behalf behind the scenes and when you discover who it is you will be delighted. Very soon the start of a new routine will be announced. What you won't want is to have to deal with all the past few days' backlog in addition to new responsibilities. For this reason think about doing all you can to complete all jobs on time. Don't stand around doing nothing when you could be tying up loose ends.
