Emotional tensions could surface and this has something to do with the reappearance of an old friend. When events take you by surprise you might find you aren't as in command of your emotions as you would like to think. An underlying trend suggests something from the past is affecting your present situation. Plan a quiet evening as you have some thinking to do.

A dream about someone who is close to you might seem like a forewarning for the future. This puts you on the alert. You are trying to be sensible but it isn't easy when your thoughts are vague and hazy. On the whole, you would feel more comfortable if you were to ignore anything that cannot be explained in a rational way. Sometimes you just have to trust your intuition.

You would gain more today if you could act on your own decisions rather than have to wait for other people's consent. Someone in a position of power seems to be putting obstacles in your way. For the most part these obstructions will take the form of trivial rules and trifling details you would be happy to ignore. Your biggest problem is a person who seems to be constantly against you!

You sense in the back of your mind you should be prepared for all eventualities today. In matters relating to tax, credit and investments, you need to be certain you are making the right decisions. You will save yourself a lot of bother if you concentrate on the practicalities of the day. Don't go out on a limb financially. Make responsible plans for the future.

Something of a jolt as far as family life is concerned comes through you uncovering a fact that has been kept secret. You might wish someone had confided in your earlier and you must ask yourself why it has taken so long for some matters to come out into the open. Forget the past. What's important is that there is complete honesty and openness now in relationships. You will welcome this newfound understanding.

A last minute invitation could result in a short journey which will be advantageous to you in some way. Acting on the spur-of-the-moment is all to the good because you are proving to others how flexible and accommodating you can be. Being open to new experiences will enrich your life. Significant events are happening now.

You will only consider making the changes someone suggests if you are certain these will lead to something significant. You have an instinctive ability to size people up and you will know whether they are being as honest with you as they are professing. If you have noticed someone being erratic and you suspect they are unreliable, you will probably do right to avoid them in the future.

If you are mystically inclined, you might enjoy the chance of exploring new spiritual possibilities. You need to contact people in faraway places and although at first you might think this will be a waste of time it could turn out to be a series of successful communications. Indeed someone from afar could play a vital role in your future. To brighten up the evening why not arrange a family treat?

Some people or something is not all it might seem; it is a day to be wary. You could be distracted just when things are starting to happen and this stops you from taking action that might have changed the course of the day's events. You feel you aren't in control but feelings too can be off beam. You have the power to break the pattern and find greater freedom. All you have to do is concentrate and have confidence in yourself.

If you are typical of your sign you will be sensible, reliable and practical. You will not launch anything important if you feel the conditions are all wrong. Why is it then, that today you are thinking of starting something new when you know it is a big gamble and the timing is not right? Your instincts tell you to hold back. Trust your hunches to avoid regrets.

Background events appear to be holding you back when you would like to get ahead. Lately you might feel as if you have not been able to make as much progress as you were hoping in important business and other affairs. Too many distractions and interruptions and health problems too could have interfered with the smooth running of your life. Today you take charge and start pulling yourself out of this rut.

You are starting to doubt your ability to realise an important objective but why? To reach an aim you will need determination, patience and self-assurance. Be honest with yourself if you are using small excuses to get out of having to put in the effort. Rather than let a few small hurdles stand in the way you could find a way around the problem. Rein in a tendency to be distracted and your difficulties will instantly be reduced.
