It will be impossible to persuade someone you are joining forces with to see things the way you do. You might wish you had not begun this partnership. Their mood is awkward and uncooperative and you may have to have a complete change of tactics. At home, there is plenty to do.

If suddenly you feel like doing something in a different way, try it. Normally you are very organised and methodical. This helps you feel in control and it works for you because it gets the job done. Even so this can leave little room for manoeuvre. Experimenting with a different approach could be fun.

A clipped message is direct and to the point. People will try to pick apart every word of a short statement in their effort to read between the lines. You can see how some are allowing their imaginations to run riot and are seeing more in these words than is actual there.

A short text message from an old friend or relative concerns you. It is difficult to pinpoint why you feel this way but you sense they aren't saying it all. If you suspect someone is hiding something from you, it might be worth giving them a call. You will get a better impression about what is going on from the tone of their voice.

Don't let a recent success go to your head. At work or in a study situation, overconfidence could result in a silly mistake. This could undo all your recent achievements so tread with caution. Money talk makes you a little uncertain. Job matters and chores that get you out and about will be where you feel most comfortable.

You will stay practical, calm and in control to keep on top of an awkward situation. Mix ups and misunderstandings can be resolved if you approach these matters with cool determination. Leave a colleague or housemate to get into a flap if that's the way they have to be. You can manage very well without them.

Now is a good time to blow your own trumpet. You have plenty reason to feel proud of the results of your recent endeavours. You also have reason to be angry with someone who is trying to take credit for your achievements. Don't be reluctant to set the record straight.

You know that plans made today are going to affect your future. What you don't know yet is whether this will be in a positive or negative way. Try to think ahead and work out the likely consequences of what you agree on. Some ideas may not be as good as someone is making them out to be.

Disagreements over methods or procedures slow down progress. It will become apparent very quickly that some issues are not going to be easily resolved. Relationships are tense and since you don't want to get dragged into an argument, the best thing you can do is keep your head down.

As much as you thrive on routine, everyone needs a change and all you will want today is to get out in the open air. The last thing you feel like is being cooped up within the same four walls, whether it is the home, the office or a more spacious workplace. If you can arrange your time to get the exercise and fresh air you need, you will be happier.

There are tasks that have been put off for too long now. You may not be in the mood to deal with them but you will feel better once they are out of the way. Force yourself to find the energy to fulfil obligations. It will be a relief not to have to think about these tomorrow and the day after.

No matter how pushy your family and friends might be in their attempts to persuade you to be out and about, it is privacy and quiet you crave today. Head to a quiet place you like to visit that few people know about. This will give you a few quiet moments with no distractions.
