A known rival whose goals are similar to your own is putting problems in your way and slowing your progress. Even if you were to walk away, you could catch up quickly on what needs to be done, another time. There are also decisions to make with someone close who always works harmoniously alongside of you. Such transactions will go more smoothly.

You won't follow suit if others in your home or work environments are rushing around in ever decreasing circles. This is not your style and you will not be rushed or pushed into speeding up your efforts. When others see you making slow but steady progress they may calm down and take a leaf out of your book.

If your job lacks challenge and is starting to bore you don't be surprised to find yourself looking at job vacancies in your locality. This has nothing to do with your working relationships as you have made many friends through your career but life is too short for you to remain in a position that no longer interests or excites you.

A lot can be achieved through hard work and steady effort as you well know. If you can't agree with someone you work with, be willing to talk things through. You both have something to learn from and to teach each other. A training opportunity could mean sacrificing some of your leisure time but it will be well worth considering.

You might sense a partner or someone else whose approval you need before moving forward isn't going to like your ideas. Stay patient, calm and be diplomatic. Listen to what they say and let them see you are thinking about their words. You will find a way to talk them around to your way of thinking.

You've always been precise and careful about your work. People in positions of power are starting to notice this. Satisfaction will be felt through knowing that there is respect for your skills and your abilities. You will be first to be given the chance of a plum assignment. There is no time to hesitate about your response.

Discussions and transactions will involve a legal contract. This will affect your future in a big way. That's why some people you are dealing with are being very cautious. You can understand their hesitation and although it might cause some delay, if someone puts forward an angle you hadn't considered, give this some thought before going any further.

You may not exactly be in glowing health but if you are careful and organised, you should manage regular responsibilities as normal. Do your best not to jump to conclusions or to show too many of your feelings when confronted with difficult and contentious situations. Take as objective a view as you possibly can.

A platonic relationship is starting to change. You get the distinct impression someone is taking a romantic interest in you. If you are single and looking for love, what's stopping you from encouraging this further? If you are married or already in a committed relationship, you have some serious thinking to do.

Ideas for your home will come up in conversations. A housemate will air their objections loudly. You, too, are quite happy with the way things are at the moment and would prefer not to start on any of the ideas under discussion. Together you will persuade others to keep things as they are.

Good planning is the key to your future success. Take this opportunity to think carefully about what you want from life in general. Once you have set your goal, start working patiently and steadily towards achieving it. The answer to a puzzle that presents itself will be found if you pause and think back to a similar experience you have been through in the past.

There are a number of jobs about the house you've been saying you would do for some time. Housemates are expecting you to keep your promises. Suddenly you will feel bogged down by mounting odds and ends and it will be a relief to spend some time getting them out of the way. Help is at hand, should you need it.
