You are eager to participate in what is going on but adopting the role of spectator might be a better idea. What you learn through taking a step back is a friend or loved one has been feeling pushed out of events you have taken over. Now they have a chance to join in, you will learn more about what makes other people tick. Pleasure comes through making people happy today.

An older relative could provide you with some valuable information about a financial or legal matter. You feel more able to cope with areas causing you concern. You could take the chance, later, to clear up a number of loose ends that have accumulated recently. This won't take as long as you may have been expecting.

Imagine driving on a road with no clear signs or land marks; that's how it may feel when you think about the future. Not only do you need a definite goal to aim towards but you must decide how you might achieve this. Very often a failure to succeed in your aims is a lack of foresight and organisation. Don't let this happen now.

You might want to discuss something you feel is important to your future security with your partner. You feel you can't make plans or arrangements without knowing the feelings of the person you care for most. There are a lot of people around you today and it might not be until later on before you get the chance for a heart to heart.

A friend or neighbour offers to do you a favour purely because that's what they say friends are for. There is an atmosphere of harmony and accord around you. This pleasant mood will establish something of a pattern today which will culminate in a social gathering this evening. You won't have any trouble relaxing and most of the day is passed in a blissful whirl.

Don't be too disciplined about your days; you could do with some spontaneous entertainment. If loved ones are saying you need to lighten up a bit, pay attention! Sometimes you get into the habit of being too compulsively organised. Today, be flexible, be impulsive even and act on spur of the moment ideas or suggestions.

You might catch loved ones unawares because of the efficient fashion you deal with chores and responsibilities. People will be happy to leave you to do things your way or they will fall in with your ideas and suggestions. You find it easy to foster a team spirit and you might learn new things about yourself through working with others. Your confidence grows!

Today you may need some reassurance in a close relationship. It is not often you feel uncertain and frequently you are the one who placates others and bolsters their confidence. Once people assure you some matters are going as planned, you will admit to having allowed your imagination to get the better of you!

If people are testing your patience, tell yourself this is unlikely to be intended. Give and take is necessary in all relationships although you may at times feel you are doing all the giving! A sensitive friend needs more support than usual. Give them the understanding they currently need and when you find yourself in a pickle in the future, you will receive the same consideration in return.

The idea of sticking with your usual routines might not be very appealing. Unless you have no choice but to throw yourself into your work, why not treat yourself to a slow and leisurely start to the day? Although you aren't in the mood for in depth discussions, keep the lines of communication open with loving ties. An unexpected opportunity could arise from a casual conversation.

You continue to feel a need for peace and quiet and will retreat from anything too crowded or noisy. You will be careful to avoid people who are demanding or difficult. Time spent in a tranquil place provides the oasis needed to revive drained physical and emotional energies. Your attention is focused on spiritual and private matters. Meditation could lead to some important insights.

Your charm and personality attracts new friends your way. You might enjoy the chance of mixing in new social circles or attending a social function some distance from your usual haunts. At home, your opinion is needed when others are making plans for a child's future. You wonder whether your ideas might be considered irregular but a loved one will share your feelings.
