Planning a future journey will be exciting and uplifting. An unexpected email or text message could revive an old friendship. Someone is about to bring up a subject that you've been needing to discuss for ages. You accept there are issues you need to confront together.

You could do a lot to help a friend or colleague succeed but do they want your help? Even if they are struggling they might see this as a learning experience and will want to somehow manage on their own. Why not turn your attention elsewhere instead and wait to be asked?

You don't have to try to keep up with others who have more energy and enthusiasm than you at the moment. It is never a bad thing to look after yourself. If you can't seem to find the strength to lift a finger then this is a sign that it is time to relax.

Climbing the ladder of success is taking you a lot longer than you had anticipated. The chance of promotion is a one you will not want to miss but even if you are the most qualified and experienced candidate, there is no guarantee you will be offered the job. Stay alert.

A long-term plan will be confirmed. The pattern of your life is about to take on a more well-defined course. You are starting to feel more in control now and as if at last you know where you are going. New technology makes it possible for you to utilise a creative talent in a different way.

It may be necessary to keep reminding yourself that occasionally, those who dare, do win. In order to get ahead, you may have to be willing to take a few risks. You will have more success with a personal ambition if you try a little experimentation.

If you are concerned about any aspect of your health, book an appointment with your doctor. Don't feel you are wasting their time. A medical consultation will be insightful and will help you understand the source of a problem. Where work and health matters are concerned, stick to the tried and tested.

Personal aims and wishes will be granted thanks to the intervention of a supportive colleague. If a partner or housemate's spending is getting out of hand and you're having to pay their share of joint expenditures, don't take this lying down. Say something.

You and your family might always travel together to an annual event or celebration. Disagreements over future plans are becoming a bone of contention. Arguments will lead to a stalemate and you might decide to break tradition and make your own way there. Travelling alone doesn't sound like such a bad idea.

Your interpretation of a confusing situation will win the respect of someone you would like to impress. You're inclined to stay in the background but if you do, your ideas aren't going to help anyone. Voice your thoughts. There are people around you who could benefit from your inventive suggestions.

Fight the temptation to walk away from a group to get on with things on your own. Although there is someone who seems to be deliberately causing problems, you aren't the only one who is frustrated by their behaviour. When you all ignore this trouble-maker, group efforts will be rewarding and satisfying.

Expenses you had forgotten about or that take you by surprise will put a dent in your household budget. It may be necessary to cut down even further on your spending. Selling an item you no longer need could be one solution to a financial problem.
