You're making things too complicated when you should be looking for straightforward solutions to problems. If something unusual crops up, others will be full of attention-grabbing ideas. Ignore them! Pursue outlandish suggestions past the talking stage and you will only encounter more problems. Most ideas are too complex to be feasible. In all matters today, look for the simplest solution.

It won't be easy but it will be necessary to hold the feet of someone close firmly down on the ground! A loved-one is spending money as if it was water. Or they're about to make a big mistake in romance. Either way, it's up to you to steer them onto more practical ground. You might not get any immediate thanks. But it shouldn't be long before they make their gratitude obvious.

Show patience and let others see the adaptable side of your nature when discussing family affairs. If someone has some changes in mind for the home, listen to their ideas. If you mull these over, you could come up with new home-improvement plans of your own. By evening, you will not only get the full attention of those you live with, but their full agreement too!

If you open discussions concerning a health, work or financial matter, don't be surprised if conversations get heated. Going over decisions agreed on just one more time is not a good idea. Someone is likely to change their mind. If you're happy with what was settled on in the past leave it at that or people could start to raise questions you are not usually asked. You will have a better time if you keep your thoughts to yourself.

A friend or loved-one's recent success seems to have gone to their head; resist the urge to say anything for now. Try not to let little things come between you and close ties. It might take extra self-discipline to hold back your comments but it will be worth it in the end. Soon others will stop going on about themselves and your relationship will get back onto an even keel. The least said today, the better!

Make it your aim to shelve routine chores and commitments and look for something new to do. There is likely to be a changeable mood surrounding you and you should use this in an up-beat fashion. Those around you could be left speechless or spellbound by some of your suggestions. Evening trends favour family-related activities, especially if you can gather a little company around you.

If you expect jobs to be completed to your satisfaction, do them yourself! Friends and colleagues may disappoint you although not deliberately. They might simply fail to understand what you're asking of them, or they may be slap-dash in their ways. In important matters, trust no-one but yourself. On a lighter note: a short trip could have pleasant consequences.

Although you are not known for pushing yourself into the limelight, people do recognise your strength of character. If you are typical of your sign, you have a fiercely ambitious streak within. Today, in order to pursue a special aim, you must be ready to step out of the shadows. To get further towards your goal, there's no time to be indecisive. Be bold, let others know what you want and go after it.

For a number of reasons it would be best not to mix business with pleasure. Keeping these two sides of your life strictly divided will help you see people for who they really are. If someone is deceiving you with sweet-talk and false promises, you will realise their little game today. It would complicate matters if a loved-one gets mixed up in your professional affairs. Or vice versa!

Despite any sacrifice you have to make, go out of your way to please that special someone in your life. Someone's starting to feel they're of no great concern to you even if this is not true. If they are number one on your list of priorities, let them know it. Even if you have duties elsewhere, it's important to be there when a loved one needs you. Make it clear you do care and you don't resent their demands at all.

A casual comment could bring about ideas on how to improve a shared budget. Important business and correspondence should be dealt with without delay. Once you put your mind to it, you should be able to whip through your usual business quite quickly. This will be a load off your mind leaving you free to participate in some exciting social plans at the end of the day.

A friend's comments or behaviour will amaze you and you won't be able to hide your reaction. Someone in your circle has been known to do the least likely thing in any given situation. So in actuality you shouldn't be surprised by their behaviour. This time you might think they have gone too far. If there are likely to be recriminations, guard your reputation and disentangle yourself from this relationship, pronto.
