Sometimes talking your troubles through is the best way to help solve an emotional dilemma. Until you are able to sort out this issue, nothing else will interest you. You really don't know what else to do but to approach a friend who has always been a sympathetic listener.

After a long conversation it will become very apparent that your hopes and intentions may be different from a partner's. You need to consider this carefully and tailor your lifestyle in accordance with your own desires. Remember that you are important too.

It will take a while to get results but you will be up to the challenge. An unexpected opportunity to acquire a new skill or to learn how things work behind the scenes will be a one that interests you immediately. Plunge into this project with energy and enthusiasm.

Listen to your intuition when it comes to making an important decision. It might drive a practical partner crazy when you take such an illogical approach but they will not be able to argue with the fact that your instincts are usually correct.

You can rely on your partner or a close relative to help get you through a difficult time. It is the people who are closest to you who know you well and who can predict how you will react to challenging times. By leaning on them, it will be easier to get through the tough times.

You're trying to impress someone who could put a few new opportunities your way. Don't be tempted to pretend you know a lot about a subject that is outside of your experience. Instead, make them aware of what you do know and what you can do. Be honest from the start.

A strange incident will have a profound influence on how you think and act. Don't be surprised if you find yourself wondering whether you need to go in a new direction. This could take you on a completely new path. You can't resist your fate.

A friend or relative will blurt out a secret. You won't be happy with their behaviour especially if this is something about you that you prefer some people didn't know. Hold your head up high and refuse to be intimidated by this. It will soon all blow over.

People you meet at a local get-together will have some important business connections. Even if you weren't expecting it, someone will offer to help you further your aims. Consequently business will be mixing well with pleasure and vice-versa.

As well as sharing a secret with you, someone will be asking for a favour from you. This will involve telling a white lie. If you get the feeling they are trying to manipulate you and this makes you uncomfortable, walk away.

A relative will reveal something about their past that you would rather not have known. A housemate wants to discuss finances and other practical matters; you don't. You know already what they are going to say and you aren't going to like this discussion.

The willingness to negotiate should help keep a close relationship strong. If a partner objects to your plans and this upsets you, talk about it. If you turn to someone else for guidance, you could end up listening to the wrong people.
