Beware bogus salespeople or invitations that could have expensive strings attached. Someone’s duplicity will not be instantly apparent but believe me it’s there. Unorthodox medicinal aids or healing remedies sound intriguing but watch the price tag and then check out the practioner’s credentials.

Changes under discussion could affect your home-life. You are in two minds about any alterations that can confuse your life. There is no sense in sanctioning plans that keep you tied to your own four walls even more, when what you actually need is the opposite - a break from domestic routine.

Cool it when others fail to grasp relevant points of conversations and you have to keep repeating yourself. Technical jargon must be put in lay-people’s terms and remember, not everyone is as quick-thinking as you. Give others the chance to assimilate what they are being told and don't rush anyone.

Giving help to someone who needs it, and the Good Samaritan in you will gain a useful contact or friend in your hour of need. Current events may spur you into taking a First Aid, food hygiene, voluntary or other similar course which not only is of humanitarian benefit but also to your own career.

You are apt to go to extremes, insisting on having your own way when someone wants a far easier way of doing things. Soften your attitude and be willing to watch, listen and learn from others. You want something to show for your recent efforts but alienate someone now and you’ll lose a useful ally.

An old allergy flares up leading to an acute attack of hayfever or excema. It should be dealt with forthwith - but by getting to the root cause. Neglect health problems and they will only keep coming back to bug you until you seek proper medical attention for you or someone close.

Someone is about to discover your secret talents and is determined to drag you onto centre stage. Why not? If you’ve got it then flaunt it, whatever IT is. You might think working behind-the-scenes suits you best but don’t hide your light under a bushel when you have the potential to shine.

You come up against unexpected opposition when your own views and beliefs are in fierce contrast with someone else's. Just because you differ, their opinions aren't any less valid than yours. The lesson to be learned from all this, is to respect that everyone has their own set of values.

No matter where you are going or what doing, stick to tried and tested pathways today. New routes, systems or routines may well be worth considering some other time but not at the moment when you haven't the time, opportunity or patience to give them your full concentration.

Doubt about a recent money move could mar an otherwise okay start to the week. If settlements have been made but cannot be altered, worrying won't change anything. If there is still time to reverse a decision, see what can be done, but be absolutely certain you’re doing the right thing.

Don’t think only of yourself as there is somebody else who must be given priority. If things have been strained in a close relationship or friendship, foster a feeling of harmony by being the first to proffer the olive branch. Once you do things have an uncanny way of working themselves out.

Something told to you on the quiet turns out to be nothing more than idle speculation and does not deserve a second thought let alone to be taken seriously. Acting on gossip or misleading information could get you into trouble with work superiors or even the law. Err on the side of caution.
