Starting a new health regime or hobby might help you stave off feelings of boredom or depression. Don't overdo it. You will benefit more from physical pursuits if you don't push yourself too hard. Try to be more accepting of yourself and aware of your limitations. Control your hankering for excellence and make an effort to change habits or patterns of behaviour that are more of a hindrance than a help!

You've got love on the brain today and a person you've been trying to track down is at last located. There is something on your mind you need to discuss with someone and your comments or accusations will undoubtedly make the fur fly in your social arena. A quick check you've got your facts right might be a wise move before opening your mouth. The fact is, you're allowing your feelings to interfere with your good judgement.

Even if the odds are weighted against you, speaking your mind in a family matter is something you've got to do. Housemates are divided in their thinking and a day of ceaseless debate is not one you are looking forward to. But if anything is to be resolved, it has to be discussed. If there have been problems or a misunderstanding, blaming everyone but yourself is the least likely means of gaining accord. Try not to let another person's bad mood spoil your day.

Working alongside someone you don't get on with is hardly gratifying especially if you have to proceed with tact. Don't expect an easy time of it, because you could be surprised at the tentative truce that develops by the end of the day. Even if you don't always agree with a colleague's views or methods, you will at least appreciate their efforts. A get together that's being planned includes people you've not seen for some time.

Your sense of order seems to desert you when for some reason your mood is erratic and uncertain. Too many financial obligations put a serious strain on you now. You are acutely aware of all the bills piling up and future expenses you cannot avoid. If you're finding it difficult to make ends meet, it might be a relief to get some expert advice to help you reorganize your finances.

You feel you aren't using your time effectively but you don't have a lot of choice about what you can and can't do. Demands from others restrict your options when your conscience won't allow you to walk away from someone who is in need. If only you didn't take life so seriously but responsibilities to others tend to occupy your mind to the extent where your own work might suffer. If someone is acting in a dramatic or emotional way, try to take an impartial view of the situation.

Improving your personal skills will open new doors all round. A breeze of change might be noticeable in your personal life. Someone makes you an offer that could make some of your hopes come true but accepting it will mean there is a lot of hard work ahead. The wisdom of decisions you've recently made will be brought home to you now when the chance to take a substantial pace forward is presented.

Giving your time to others and putting effort into a group concern could have unexpected financial rewards. Some people will imply you are wasting your time but you know differently so refuse to allow them to distract you. Although you are getting results, this won't be without a lot of effort and if there is some form of monetary compensation or an award, you will have to pay for it with sheer hard work!

You might wish the atmosphere was more convivial but someone nearby is in a strange mood today. A recent upset is probably on their mind and this could be one of those times that no matter what you say, people pick it up wrongly or they deliberately mistake your concern for interference. You have a strong urge to nurture those who are clearly troubled and distressed and your patience with their tetchiness will win out in the end.

Concentrating on duty is nigh on impossible and you owe it to your colleagues to admit to this. The probability is your mind is on concerns other than what you should be focusing on now. You wish you had the courage to drop everything and follow your instincts but your conscience won't allow this. Stop giving in to the idea that forces beyond your control shape your life and start looking for practical and realistic ways to get out of the rut.

Refuse to let other people sway you: your intuition is right on target, especially when it comes to investments. Play your cards right and you will impress your boss with your work. This could bring a definite uptrend in your career. A bonus or a pay rise is likely and you could be in line for promotion. Some jobs won't appeal to everyone and it will be up to you to press the button and get on with it.

You've always had the ability to listen and understand but someone could be spinning you a sob story today. Spread your time between your friends and associates and don't allow any one person to dominate. Someone might try to get some money out of you and while you don't have to be a miserly Scrooge, it might be wise to keep current expenditures down to a minimum!
