Your powers of persuasion could have impressive results; you easily charm others to see your way of thinking. You aren't the only one who's pleased with how cleverly you handle a difficult situation. Not only do you turn a negative into a positive but you will turn events that could have gone against you, to your advantage. How shrewd you are today!

The reason others approach you for advice is they're encouraged by your confidence. Despite having to put yourself out because of all the demands friends, relatives and workmates are making, you should also feel privileged to be in such a popular position. People respect your views and opinions. This could be a memorable and constructive day.

You could be mistaken for someone else; this leads to some lively conversation and an interesting agreement. Romance could be the result of an impromptu arrangement. You get more pleasure today through being active; you aren't at ease having nothing to do. This means if the work scene is quiet you will be making jobs for yourself which have nothing to do with your usual responsibilities.

There is a way to get the better of disruptive influences and that is to stay calm and practical. The extra responsibilities now coming your way could make you irritable and you are apt to fly off the handle when things go wrong. Instead, let others see you can cope with difficulties in an unruffled and unhurried way. Even so I wonder: have you taken on too many burdens?

Loved ones may need extra help and encouragement with their affairs. There's a big difference between assistance and interference. Others will appreciate your help but not your meddling. Tact will be necessary to avoid misunderstandings. Don't try to force your opinions onto others. Let people know what you think but leave it to them to make up their own minds.

If you are typical of your sign you like to have a little extra in the bank in case of an emergency. Financial matters concern you in that you want to encourage a partner or housemate to put aside some cash for a rainy day. It might take some persuading to get others to realise the sense in working out a budget sooner rather than later. At least you know you're using your money wisely even if others aren't!

Romance and your closest relationships play an important part in your life. Today there may be some emotional problems to overcome. These are more serious than some people are giving them credit for. A minor argument could develop into something major and what transpires could transform your relationships. You want changes to be for the better so watch what you say.

If you change your mind about changes recently agreed on, it is probably the cost of such plans which puts you off. Housemates aren't used to seeing you in a changeable frame of mind and they aren't sure how to respond. If you sense their disappointment let them know you're willing to shop around. You could find what you need at a more affordable price and this will keep everyone smiling.

Your dealings with others will at times feel like an uphill struggle. You are in for a tough time ahead when people aren't as easy to get around as you thought. Even so, you respect others for their certainty and confidence. Keep your thoughts and ideas fluid and conversations lively. Restrictions surround you now but you will find a way to overcome these.

Although there is risk involved in business activities, you should be feeling cautiously optimistic. A confident approach to new aims and ambitions will attract good fortune your way. In all transactions you must show a more decisive attitude; there should be no hint of hesitation. You will enjoy the company of friends later in the day.

Take the questions, comments and problems other people share with you more seriously than you've done of late. Others are relying on you to give recommendations based on what they say. If you don't pay attention you could give out the wrong advice. Any kind of criticism or unfriendliness from others will alert you to the fact all is not well in a certain relationship.

Official financial concerns will need your attention; some matters cannot be ignored any longer. You might feel slightly suspicious of someone who is trying to influence you and you're right to be wary. Currently future plans are on the nebulous side and until you make a firm commitment, you will constantly have these matters on your mind.
