Something you don't understand starts to worry you unduly. You are angry with yourself for not being able to get your head around a puzzle or predicament. Wait until things are explained properly and you will find you had no reason to feel so anxious. Talking to an older person helps you sort out a private problem and encourages you to give some thought to your future prospects.

You have some good ideas but you aren't ready yet to reveal what you are thinking to others. You would rather wait until next week before making a start on the plans in your head. To get someone's support or approval you sense you should wait a wee while before letting them in on your tactics. You have a clear vision for what you want for the future and you are being careful.

Expect an ordinary sort of day ahead. In some areas you will see a small degree of progress, in others, you can't seem to get on. The sensible thing to do would be to continue with jobs that aren't problematic. Leave anything proving to be awkward until the start of next week. A local get together in the evening will give you the chance to display a skill or talent. This will boost your social standing.

Someone around you now seems to bring out the worst in you but only because of their odd behaviour. You won't have anything to do with anyone who is going out of their way to spread malicious gossip. In fact you might have a few things to say to make them stop and think about what they are doing. Travel plans seem plagued by hold ups and delays. The good news is: this won't last much longer!

Choices are ahead and you are given the chance to pick and choose where you want to go from here. Some discontent or restlessness with neighbourhood social events makes you wonder whether there are more interesting things going on elsewhere. You feel an urge to break away from what's familiar and there could be some travel involved in your plans for the future.

In pursuing your main aims, you are working much harder than usual. If you have been driving yourself too hard, this could result in a loss of vitality. Currently you have the confidence to have a good go of anything you put your mind to. Your recent efforts have been first rate but now you need a break. A change of scene is the best tonic. Think about recharging your batteries.

If you put just a bit more time and effort into dealing with a joint issue, you might see the end of it today. A matter that has been causing problems can be resolved. If you make a thorough job of whatever you do there will be no mistakes and it won't have to be repeated. At home, this evening, an aura of goodwill encourages you to press ahead with some unusual domestic plans.

Be patient with someone close who can't seem to make up their mind. You would love to give them a shake and get a decision out of them but this wouldn't do your relationship a lot of good. Once Mercury turns direct in a few days time you will notice a big difference in your closest and most loving relationships. Patience heightens some interesting potential for relationship advancement or the start of a totally new romantic direction in the near future.

Someone you have just met is incredibly obliging and willing to open new doors for you. It might feel strange to step over new thresholds without you having had to work hard for an invitation. Before accepting an invite, request or summons, ask yourself why this person is putting themselves out for you. Are they manipulating you for their own advantage? How do you feel about the answer?

There are a few problems to sort out and you would like to have these out of the way, today. Sometimes you might feel as if you are on a treadmill going nowhere but persevere. If you can overcome the hurdles before you now, life will be easier over the weeks to come. Although you feel tempted to bury your head in the sand, you will be proud of yourself if you manage to deal with some difficult business today.

You're feeling mighty efficient today and for several hours you will hardly stop to take a breath! As this is a high energy day you will be constantly on the go. Others are impressed with what you manage to get through. You might notice some areas need improvement and you will know just what to do to bring this about. Extravagance rears its head tonight when a social event or function is more costly than anticipated.

In spite of some past difficulties you should now be feeling as if you are making some progress. People respect your quiet confidence and over the weeks ahead you might find yourself gently leading others from behind. Informal meetings, chats and enjoying convivial company lift your spirits way above normal. Team efforts help strengthen relationship ties.
