Whatever your aims today, you would do better to get professional help before plunging into the unknown. If you have had the occasional twinge of doubt about plans or ideas, someone will be able to put your mind at ease. The weeks ahead will bring the chance to catch up with friends, relatives and neighbours if you have been too busy to spend time with them of late.

You will be subtle in the way you handle other people's difficulties these next few weeks. You probably never realised you could be so aware of and sensitive to the plight of others. Your thoughts are on a personal or professional goal as you realise the harder you work to achieve your aims, the greater the chances are, of your ultimate success.

You can count on new friends and loved ones to play a supportive role in a scheme that captures your interest. Special effort made in the past will be rewarded. The feedback is all the more pleasing because it is for something you had almost forgotten about. Old friends may not understand new plans you are making but you shouldn't let this stop you from moving forward.

Once onerous responsibilities seem less restrictive now and being flexible in your work will be a great asset. A willingness to allow other people their own way in basically unimportant details will be repaid in the future. A retiring frame of mind is with you throughout the day. Friends and colleagues seem to instinctively know how you feel.

Don't be too disinclined to let other people push you out of a set routine. People who are keen to add a touch of variety to everyday commitments seem to have the right idea. Feeling creative? Why not put your artistic talents to use today? Pursue new opportunities as they arise. A new friendship or partnership could bring you some colourful experiences over the weeks ahead.

Expect a busy day ahead when commitments you had hoped to see ended continue. Friends and colleagues complain about being over burdened and your own routine is affected. You are occupied at all levels: family matters, work concerns, neighbourhood issues all seem to need thought and attention. Discuss a problem with an older relative and it will be a problem halved.

Friends, group and social events will offer much in the way of pleasure now. You get more chance to mix with others and generally have a good time. Your mood is more romantic as you sense something nice is about to come into your life. The weeks ahead will be productive and profitable if you work in art, the theatre or music industries.

A brush with a local authority or admin department has something to do with an incident that took place two weeks ago. A financial matter, planning application or legal request is being considered. Your signature or a written confirmation will be necessary before this matter goes any further. Keep on top of the paperwork because if you don't delays are more than likely.

You stand a greater chance of success within your career if you swallow an impatient urge. Your ideas to improve circumstances must be put aside as a partner or associate rides rough shod over your plans. Someone close seems to resent the pleasure you are getting from ventures they aren't a part of. It is one of those days when you can't seem to please a soul!

Professional and other demands are increasing; this leaves you with little time to relax and chill out. Everybody knows how responsible and conscientious you are but are some people taking advantage? Put your natural practical talents into action to find a balance between work and pleasure. If there is a meeting or job you can't fit in, postpone it for another day.

Over the weeks ahead, you will be getting along so much better with others. People who have been opinionated now realise they live by a different set of values to others. Rather than trying to alter your view, they will start to accept you for who you are. Many possibilities for pleasure and enjoyment are likely now. Your friendly reputation makes you popular wherever you go.

Stay out of a mix up or problem a family member has brought upon themselves. If you get involved, you could end up taking on their responsibilities. Don't waste your time and energy on futile pursuits and pointless arguments. Emotionally and psychologically you feel more confident about yourself. It is a good day to launch a private venture.
