There is more to some legal or financial business than first meets the eye. Someone is not being entirely honest with you. In discovering their deceit, you will be in a stronger position. All of a sudden you are the one who is calling the shots. A family matter needs attention later in the day. Because of this you may have to cancel some social arrangements.

Don't let new opportunities go by the wayside because you aren't in the mood to look further into them. Even if you are one degree under, this should not stop you from making the most of any new offer that comes your way. Register your interest and return to the matter another day when you are more with it. A colleague wants to call the tune at work. For now it suits you to follow their lead.

You can make subtle progress in all areas through trusting your instincts. Complicated situations are made all the more problematical if you try to analyse and scrutinize every minor detail. Instead, relax and put your strong powers of perception into play. A pensive aura descends on you later in the day, generating ideas, hopes and wishes you are hoping to achieve.

Two heads are better than one if you are trying to work out how something works or understand instructions. You may be blaming yourself for not fully grasping an issue but the problem could be some badly worded directives. Joining forces with someone who is more experienced or knowledgeable will soon see you making progress. Besides, working as a team will be more fun.

Waiting for someone to fulfil a promise they made you in the past could stop you from taking up new opportunities. Whether there has been a hint of a new job, a monetary bonus or a change in your working life, you could wait around forever before this happens. Don't put your faith in vague hints and half promises. Go with definite offers and proposals at this time.

An agreement made with a group of people doesn't seem to be working well. Are you mixing with the wrong crowd? Lately you have seen a deceitful side to someone's nature. This makes you wary when you are with them. Rather than continue in areas you aren't happy about, rid yourself of anything that causes you personal insecurity.

Spending too much time worrying about what other people distracts you from knowing your own mind. If you are trying to get your head around issues relating to insurance or pension policies or a legacy, talk to an expert. Friends and family will be full of advice but do they know what they are talking about? More importantly, whose interests are they looking after: their own, or yours?

A rival in love is trying to mislead, deceive or impede you. If you are half of a duo and there has been confusion in your relationship, it is imperative you are honest now with each other. A third party will cause you further upset and uncertainty unless you clear up a misunderstanding. Refuse to allow other people to interfere in your life.

Some negative vibes surround a social event or seminar booked for today. Someone is contrary. There has been an argument or dispute you've not been told about. A friend or colleague's lack of support prevents you from making progress. Your wisest course would be to stand aside and focus on areas where you feel more comfortable and in control.

Plans you are considering now can't be brought about immediately. This should not stop you from weighing everything up in your mind. You like to think things through carefully and not everyone will understand this. You are happy to work on your hopes for the future and you know too that all things come to those who are prepared to wait!

Helping someone out of a crisis will be an interesting and exciting challenge in itself. A friend or colleague seems to take it for granted you will drop everything and fly into action whenever they need you. Today, helping someone out brings you into contact with new people; this in turn could lead to new opportunities. This will be reward enough for your efforts.

You aren't as patient as normal; there seems to be massive uncertainty around you. Someone is starting to lean on you heavily and you wonder how this relationship grew so one sided. If you are the one who is doing all the giving and you are getting little in return, your impatience is understandable. Sort this out soon or even more unwanted responsibility will be loaded on to your shoulders.
