Try not to wallow in your difficulties. Getting involved in too many social plans will only increase the pressure. Others will sense your tension. This makes them nervous, you will get more irritable and so a viscous circle begins. You wish your life was easier and vague longings may dominate your mood.

You're liable to get stuck with a chore you aren't keen on. Since it has to be done you may as well carry it off with as much good humour as possible. Somehow your responsibilities have increased without you really noticing. Soon you will be on top of it all. Romantic potential is high this evening.

Your attitude toward a friend or your steady date is important now. Be honest about your needs and opinions. If you want to win someone's heart you should be truthful about your intentions. A frank discussion may touch a raw nerve but it will clear the air.

You glow with confidence and magnetism. This will help you to state your case clearly and effectively during a dispute that mars a group effort. If all else fails, offer the more conscientious members of the team your support. Anyone who isn't doing their fair share of the work should be cut loose.

Some people think your success is due to luck. They are wrong. It might look as if things come easy to you but you have worked hard to acquire valuable skills and develop your talents. Some people have no idea of how many unsuccessful attempts it has taken before you've been able to reach your goals.

You have plenty going for you now in your romantic life and with regard to your innate talents. A romantic dream is about to be transformed into reality. Creative pursuits will be rewarding. Channel your energy into pastimes you enjoy. Put your imagination into your work.

Sometimes you can be too sensitive for your own good. Keep your wits about you to avoid being taken in by someone who plays on your sympathies. This person is making promises they are unable to deliver. To protect your own interests, stay realistic and don't believe everything you hear.

Don't put it off any longer if you realise the need to do some economising. Cutting back on pleasure purchases will help you balance the books. Consider ways to boost your income if you exceeded spending limits you set yourself at Christmas. You could save yourself some money by shopping in places that are new to you.

An unforeseen event could trigger an exciting new experience. It will seem as if this situation was meant for you. Suddenly you will find yourself taking giant steps towards a long term goal. Any good ideas you come up with will be in spite of, not because of, your dreams.

A formal social function will give you the opportunity to firm up an important friendship or you might meet someone who can help you advance your aims. You may not be feeling very sociable but you don't want to miss out either so be sure to wear something smart and be on your best behaviour.

Give some thought to enjoying a change of scenery either today or over the coming weekend. You won't regret it if you accept an invitation to travel or visit a place nearby. You don't have to visit an exotic country to feel refreshed. Your popularity continues to be high.

Friends will try to push you into arrangements that don't suit you. You feel like you're on a seesaw where close ties or job interests are concerned. If you'd rather not go to a party, function or seminar, rely on your instincts. People who tell you that you'll enjoy it once you're there are lying.
