It's a difficult time for everyone and your thoughts take you to ways to support and show how small businesses in your community are valued. This is also why, whether it is shopping locally or using services in your community, you will find yourself gravitating towards small businesses rather than choosing bigger companies.

How long does it take to read a report? You're feeling frustrated about the length of time it is taking for officials to publish their response to an important review. A new campaign will be launched in your community that will draw attention to those who need greater support, material and emotional.

You're doing your best to move on with your life but that isn't easy when there are still loose-ends that need tying up. Some interim compensation will be received but you are still waiting to be fully compensated. You continue to wait and you might feel you're still a long way off from any conclusion you might find meaningful.

An argument could quickly get out of hand. The less you say in a dispute or disagreement, the better. If you want to maintain good relations between friends, colleagues and neighbours, a little diplomacy will go a long way. When someone is acting stubbornly, find an excuse and walk away.

Someone is making plans for a group outing or family holiday. You know that the more people who are involved, the more complicated it gets to make firm arrangements. You will prefer to confine activities to only include a small group of people and that way you will feel more in control.

Without your support, a friend or colleague can't seem to make a decision. If this was a one-off request for help you wouldn't mind but you now sense they are relying on you too heavily for advice. You can't keep making their mind up for them and it is time to start encouraging them to manage without you.

Places and people you knew in the past are a strong pull. You might find yourself wading through websites searching for familiar names, wanting to connect with someone you used to know. A new friendship isn't giving you a lot to look forward to as you feel you're wasting your time trying to build a relationship that is never going to work.

The old saying all things come to those who wait' might have been written with you in mind, today. Plans and ideas building in your mind cannot be brought about immediately because of their complexity. You are patient and little things in life are starting to turn out just the way you wanted.

When you are driving and there are obstacles in your path, a wise decision would be to pull in and wait for the mist and confusion to clear. This is the course you should take when people seem to be deliberately blocking your progress. Veering off course could take you where you don't want to be.

Ignoring problems in the hope they will go away is not the right approach. Turning a blind eye to an accident you sense is waiting to happen could lead to later regret. Repair that leak in the kitchen, replace worn-out tyres and do what is necessary to make your home and workplace a safer place.

The results of a team effort will exceed everyone's expectations. There are some big tests ahead but you have a lot to celebrate. It will be a joy to see happy, smiling faces everywhere. You're starting to get to grips with a technical appliance that is new to you.

Pause before buying something you don't really need or signing up for an online course, just because it seems like a bargain that's too good to miss. You could find something more suitable soon at a better price. If you're having a bad-hair day, don't take it out on your bank card.
