An important day for health or job matters or both; a decision has to be made about which career path to follow. You're faced with a situation that forces your hand. Choose an option before your boss or another superior makes the decision for you. At the moment the control is yours but if you drop your guard, changes that occur may not be to your liking.

Your pleasure in hearing some cheering news re your job situation is marred by a loved one's unreasonable behaviour. You have reason to celebrate and you want to enjoy your success but someone does not share your high spirits. It might be sensible to make time to get together with your partner or significant other. Discuss exactly how you might jointly cope with the changes that are in store.

Sudden mishaps or an unexpected domestic setback may mean cancelling other arrangements to fit everything in. Getting all stressed and jittery will only make matters worse. Before losing sight of what it is you are supposed to be doing, take a deep breath and collect your thoughts together. Spend a few moments thinking about the day's arrangements and you could squeeze in more than you anticipated.

Whichever way you turn you seem to be faced with obstacles and obstructions. These will range from ignored messages, unanswered or engaged phone calls and non-payment of debts. Last-minute changes to travel arrangements may mean forgoing a journey you had been looking forward to. Since a number of affairs are out of your hands, accept what has happened. Don't take hindrances too much to heart.

You revel in exchanging philosophical and creative ideas and you have ample chance to make new friends. Spending on social pleasures, could add to or exacerbate an existing problem. One look at your partner's face will warn you all is not well in the financial department. If you've been too impulsive or extravagant of late, some cut-backs will be necessary in order to get back on the straight and narrow!

Autonomy will be forced on you today in the absence of a colleague or partner whose help you usually depend on. There are jobs or tasks which so far, you have never had to deal with on your own. Being left with the full responsibility might feel as if you've been pushed into the deep end. Your ability to cope will be a big confidence booster. The expectations you have about yourself will have changed a lot by this evening.

A grand social event that's rather different from the usual run of the mill gathering could be romantically rewarding. This could interfere with personal plans but you will feel more comfortable in larger gatherings. It would make more sense to postpone any changes in your private life until you feel more certain about what you're doing. If you are stuck in the one place for too long on your own, you would only feel left out and lonely.

A tense and unsettled atmosphere exists within a group situation. A clash of personalities or changes in rules and regulations may cause a division that won't be easy to repair. The only solution that seems to make sense is for the group to split into separate divisions or for one faction to break away completely and form a new association of its own.

Progress will be minimal when you seem unable to concentrate on anything for more than a few minutes. You might blame yourself but it could be an uncertain state of affairs that lies at the root of your problem. If there's a hint of change in the air, you may wonder whether it's worthwhile wasting your time continuing as previously planned. Until other people get their acts together, you can't expect to carry on as normal.

No matter how organised a Capricorn you might be, even the best laid plans are likely to go awry today. Because it's important to you everything is structured and pre-planned, it won't be easy to adapt to changes. You might angrily look for a scapegoat as you need someone to blame for today's aggravations. You would do better to rise up above the disturbances and take them on the chin.

A partner panics when you are out-manoeuvred in a financial or business deal; this won't help solve the problem! There is a self-contained and quiet serenity about you which helps you cope with stress and other adverse circumstances. Problems that confront you aren't necessarily impossible to resolve but you must look to others who are further afield for help or guidance. There will be a way to work through the difficulties facing you today.

Conflict in a one-to-one relationship is affecting your nerves and causing you a lot of strain. You long to escape the tension but running away only leaves a problem at home to return to. With you being so sensitive it's important to try to protect your feelings. If you are able to defuse the atmosphere, you will feel less fraught and more able to hack it in the future.
