Surplus energy could get you into trouble if you don't channel it in positive ways. Concentration is impossible when you're so restless and in need of something physical to do. A good work out at the gym or on the squash court might do the trick. There's a highly charged atmosphere in a close relationship but it isn't the time to start an argument. Not everything is as black and white as you might think.

The going is easier now; don't look for the reason why, just take advantage. Working life is less demanding and yet for some strange reason, more productive. Home life purrs along on well oiled wheels. Where you need to be alert and aware is during a conversation with a loved one. They aren't interested in outside interests or idle chit chat. They want to discuss some personal affairs.

Half formed ideas for home improvements hover around your mind. You're all set to discuss these in detail but house mates have other things planned. For all practical purposes you should go ahead with getting estimates and professional advice. Once you have a better idea of procedures and costs, you and those you live with can get down to the nuts and bolts of the matter.

A colleague or neighbour has a crush on you; the time you spend together will be pleasant and enjoyable. Conversation flows easily and time races by as you enjoy shared activities and good company. The only fly in the ointment is if you're attached and your partner starts getting suspicious. Even if you've got nothing to hide, you feel guilty simply because you enjoyed encouraging someone's flirtatious advances. Why?

Insist on calling the tune because you know best how to maintain the closeness in a relationship. A loved one has all kinds of meaningful ideas and suggestions but few will be practical or realistic. A love affair is enhanced through your ability to tune into the needs and expectations of your lover. Even friendships and work relationships will benefit today from your ability to read between the lines.

Working with someone whose views have always been the opposite of yours will be a revelation. Not only are you growing to like this person but you also respect what they have to say. New and deeper bonds are likely to result. You might accept an invitation to mix with a wide variety of people without the usual uneasy feelings. You could learn a lot from listening to alternative ideas, beliefs and viewpoints today.

A friend or someone closer will make it known they're in need of more personal freedom. It will become clear they want to pursue activities they normally share without you. Their decision causes some upset but you won't let it come between you. Harmony in close relationships is essential for your emotional health and personal happiness. For that reason you will give your blessing to their proposals with a strained smile.

Everything's going well for you now but don't let your success go to your head. You want to share your knowledge with those who haven't yet succeeded in their aims but do they need your advice? Those around you are working steadily towards similar goals and they're doing okay. If you're flexible, you will discover yours is not the only way. Taking note of alternative methods and different points of view could help you progress even further.

Career matters and your other main interests are challenging; these are likely to be your primary concern. You're moving in high places and making some useful contacts. Your professional concerns are expansive, your greatest success achieved through following your hunches. Friends will bring you luck socially and you can expect to make good progress as a result of today's events.

Your abnormally cheerful outlook on life could take those who know you well by surprise. You would be happy to turn your back on responsibilities for a few hours or even longer. A devil may care attitude to your work makes it unlikely a lot is going to get done. Without putting a damper on your high spirits, try to curb an inclination towards immature behaviour that may upset those in authority!

Confidence in your decisions and actions comes out in the way you express yourself. Other people may object to your ideas or try to change plans already made. They may not realise what they're up against in taking you on. Even if it means riding roughshod over their opinions, you intend to stand your ground. You know you've made the right choices; others too will thank you for it in the end.

A male friend or colleague's aggressive outburst could leave you feeling shell shocked. Events taking place now are hardly likely to be inspiring. Someone seems to be going out of their way to be difficult. If people are uncooperative for no apparent reason, why put up with it? Put your foot down or better still, walk out. Let others know they cannot take their moods out on you.
