As accomplished lovers, you and your partner perform an outstanding duet; love is fun and exciting. As your relationship develops, your hearts grow fonder, your communications more loving and your affections more profound. If you're single and looking for love you need to spread yourself around a wee bit more. You might not hit it off with the first person you meet but by maintaining a positive attitude, you will in time draw like minded people to you.

You might unwittingly allow your vulnerability to show during an emotional confrontation. It's rare you allow yourself to feel exposed and equally as rare for you to lose control of your emotions. You try for the most part to remain strong but there's something about today's communications which makes it hard for you to keep it together. Despite your initial embarrassment an emotional outburst will actually help clear the air.

Normally you aren't so competitive but in the game you're playing today, you will hate to lose! You aren't about to see something you long for go to anyone else. This goal means too much to you and you intend to find a way to get what you want. You relate to happy, energetic and expressive people now. There will be something to celebrate this evening when there are indications your hopes for the future are coming closer to realisation.

It's hard to stand back and watch a friend refuse to admit to their mistakes; they just keep going blindly on. No amount of advice will help when they're in such a stubborn frame of mind. It's as if they can't readjust or question the things going wrong in their life. You know they have more choices available than they might think and it's just a case of watching for the right time to point this out to them.

A dull relationship doesn't hold your interest or attention any more; without passion and excitement, you know it's over. Breaking up is hard to do but for your sake and your partner's, if you see no future together, why prolong the agony? A friend is all set to lay on some entertainment possibly in an exciting new venue. Among other things, this will help wipe away any recollections of unpleasantness in the romantic arena.

Something is causing you sleepless nights; you may not have realised how frustrating and wearisome insomnia can be! You need to start relaxing more. Keep your thoughts calm and composed. This evening try a long, warm, relaxing bath with a spike of aromatherapy such as a sprinkle of lavender essence. Life is getting too frantic now; some responsibilities are too much for you. Can't you reduce them?

Joining a conversation about a touchy topic could leave you open to hurt, pain or humiliation. Someone's in a difficult mood and in their determination to get their point across they may reveal secrets or events of the past which are better kept in the past. To be completely on the safe side, you would do better to avoid people you aren't sure of, or whose behaviour puts you on the alert. A neighbourhood affair might start off well but one simple comment could spark off a nasty argument.

There is no other way around it today: you have got to prove yourself through your actions, not just words. Your urge to get involved in something other people are struggling with will not be regretted even if you end up taking over the whole project. Be prepared therefore to have to shoulder extra responsibilities. In doing so, you will help lessen someone else's load as you reveal a burden is not as awesome as it first seemed and it can be dealt with reasonably easily.

A partner's desire to explore their feelings and opinions on a range of different matters might start to tire you. You will prefer to keep most things simple and you aren't in the mood for such deep analysis. You don't see the need either for such intense communication. If it isn't broken, it doesn't need fixing. A relationship is going okay, you see no real need to discuss your emotions and you can't help feeling such a dialogue might actually do more harm to your union, than good.

Face to face communication will be better than talking anything over on the phone today. Also if you get into any kind of disagreement with a friend or partner this could prove onerous when it's not just them you are taking on but their family too. Probably the last thing you want is to get into a slanging match that will without doubt get out of hand. To avoid this, talk one to one. This leaves less room for misinterpretation or misunderstanding.

You can't keep finding excuses for a loved one's behaviour when the fact is, they're taking advantage of you. It is time to face up to the situation and change the way you usually respond to their requests. The people around you now can contribute to your transformation even if it's just through a lesson from your dealings with them. Just be careful you don't become wrapped up in something too destructive or muddled that it clouds your better judgement.

If you can't understand a set of instructions, ask for help. Learning how something works might be essential if you are to achieve a certain goal. The tension in the air is all down to your frustration and the stubborn way you're trying to achieve something on your own because you're too proud to ask for assistance. Once you let someone else in on what you're doing, you will progress in leaps and bounds!
