It will pay to cultivate new acquaintances; for who knows how useful they might turn out to be! If you work in a position of power, subordinates are impressed by your generosity at this time.

A close relationship has you slightly perplexed and it isn't easy to understand people who share your affairs. Someone you have been getting on well with has suddenly gone cold on you. This could be because they're finding it hard to get close to you. Play down problems as there is no sense in over dramatizing the situation. Open up a bit and all the coldness within your relationships will swiftly disappear.

Try to knuckle down to routine no matter how tiresome you find it. It's no good expecting others to do the work for you; they have their own jobs to do. Someone is relying on you to finish something you're currently working on. If you spend all your working hours swapping gossip and finding excuses to avoid real work you could be letting the side down. Your Gemini restlessness could be taken for weakness if you don't keep it under control!

Someone nearby is struggling with something you are known to be especially skilled at. Hints start coming your way that you could help out by giving them the benefit of your experience.

Increased efficiency and productivity comes through rewarding the achievements of the work force. If you are in a position of authority, you will prove you don't take the hard work of your employees for granted. They will be justly rewarded for their efforts. If you are hoping to impress a boss, using your initiative works to your advantage. In true Leo style, you will make certain your achievements don't go unnoticed!

A burst of mental energy propels you into action. As well as clearing up a backlog of work, you won't find it hard to drum up support for your plans and ideas. It's a good time to discuss new future arrangements. This evening, friends could come knocking on your door with the intention of dragging you out to dance the night away. They won't have any bother persuading you. This is just what you need to end an exhilarating day!

You might want to confirm arrangements recently discussed within a social or group setting. Commitments you have taken on in the past regarding these may no longer interest you. It is time to hand over any remaining responsibilities to someone else in the group. Not everyone will be happy about this but you will feel less burdened. Other people need to realise you do have a life of your own.

Money matters are on your mind as you consider ways of making a quick profit. Should this involve selling an item that is no longer of use to you, this is a good time to advertise in your local paper or on an internet auction site. You could be surprised at the swift response. If financial arrangements involve friends or colleagues, leave no room for assumptions. Be sure everything's clear from the start.

A new face in your public or professional life will help lighten your burdens in this area. If you are often in the public eye, you may welcome their knowledge, experience and assistance. Intense pressures of late may have been making you feel like a piece of public property! You're in danger of pushing yourself too hard if you continue the way you are going. Being able to rely on a trustworthy assistant could reduce your burdens and improve your health.

You receive so much attention and interest today you might start feeling overwhelmed. Eventually you will want to disappear and seek out a private haunt for a while. After some time to yourself you will feel refreshed and more sociable again. As you rejoin others sharing your world, you will be ready for a second helping of whatever they might be dishing out!

Someone you work with may be causing you a lot of aggravation. If you are reaching the point where you think you can't put up with this any longer, try to hold your tongue. Just for today! What you really need is some time away from each other. Next week, when you look back on this, it may all seem like a storm in a teacup!

A lot of well meaning promises are being made today but it would be foolish to rely on each and every one of them. Not everyone will be able to keep their word. People may be totally sincere about what they say but when they pause to think things through it will be apparent they have promised more than they can deliver.
