The good thing about today is you feel in control of your world and you can influence those around you in positive ways. Friends and colleagues are in tune with what you require of them and what they can expect from you in return. This makes the atmosphere around you relaxed and cooperative. You can truly be yourself with the people you are mixing with today.

Even if it means moving to another office or shutting yourself in a different room, you concentrate best on your own. It is in your interests to keep yourself to yourself or some people will try to interfere. There is a sociable aspect to the day and this will probably show itself this evening. By then, you will be quite happy when a certain special someone makes their intention to distract you very clear!

Your attention is focused on a group concern but is this causing problems in a close relationship? Someone who is close to you craves more of your time. If affection and warmth is absent in your love life your partner will be feeling neglected and deserted. Perhaps you haven't realised how carried away you've become with outside concerns. Is it time to get your relationships back in balance?

Not everything will go as planned so be ready to adjust to any changes in circumstances. Someone may not turn up for a meeting or seminar. Or you might plan to be in one place only to find you are expected in another. There may be a slightly strained atmosphere at work but this won't last. You could be surprised at how easy you deal with problems that do occur.

You need to escape the confines of a building or the binds that are tying you too tightly to a person or association. You are like a caged tiger in your need to get out into the world around you. The more sober of your colleagues may look upon your behaviour with a jaundiced eye. You can't help feeling restless and you can't keep giving in to the demands and commands of others without a break.

You have a strong sense of purpose and this can be put to good use by focusing on a goal and reaching it. You are driven by an ambitious energy and you are determined to achieve your aims. Someone might ask why a particular task or commitment is important to you. You won't have time to give an answer. All your effort today is fixed on a specific target. Finances are moving forward slowly and surely.

Someone you are dealing with seems defensive and distrustful; this in turn will make you wary. People want to know what you are thinking while they remain silent when asked to reveal their thoughts. You might wonder if, by being more open, they will follow your example. If they don't you could regret having said so much. For this reason, be economical with your words.

Something could set off an allergic reaction or ill health may slow you down. Maybe recently you have been neglecting yourself and as a consequence your physical state has suffered. It is time now to make some positive changes such as a more healthy diet or getting in some exercise. There are some health problems you could so easily avoid by being more careful about what you do.

You can turn a creative concept into tangible form through a genuine effort to turn an image or vision into actuality. You could be feeling inspired at this time. It would be a shame to ignore or pay no heed to talents you have lying dormant. Why not make a concentrated effort to develop or build on a skill you enjoy which you haven't used a lot lately?

You need to set a definite time limit for home improvement projects begun now. If you are typical of your sign you would like to feel your future is secure. Working within a specific time span will mean you know exactly where you stand. You can accept your routine being temporarily disrupted as long as you know when everything will be back to normal.

Someone with a great sense of humour keeps you mentally engaged and takes the boredom out of everyday routines. You will be having such a great time in your career. It will be both fun and educational to have to learn new concepts and mix with people you've not worked with before. If a project has been posing problems, make a focused effort to get to grips with it today.

Some people will respond to gentle coaxing today, others are quicker to respond to authoritative commands. The trick is to recognise which tactic to go for. The answer lies with the different personalities that are around you. A sensitive person will flourish under encouragement and kind support. Someone who seems antagonistic or bitter will need more forceful handling.
