Take control of your life and you will find a way to cope with all that is coming your way. It's hard to keep on top of everything but at the same time, you don't have to do everything. You can always delegate. Decide on what is a priority and what can be put to one side for another time.

A friend seems to think they have the answers to a problem you are going through. In reality what they are suggesting will be a difficult thing to do. People mean well but their advice is not very reassuring. You would do better to spend time alone and to come to your own decisions.

You will get a lot out of working within small groups of like-minded friends. Sharing ideas and making plans for the future enhance your confidence and optimism. Feedback you get from your contribution to a team effort will be positive. You are justified in feeling proud of your efforts.

You could do with some peace and quiet. Better still, some time to call your own. It will be crowded places, dirty environments and noisy surroundings that will make you feel uncomfortable and uneasy. People who are hyperactive in nature exhaust you. Choose your company and what you do with all this in mind.

A youngster in the family will show interest in a subject or activity that takes you by surprise. You may not have had any experience in this area but this should not prevent you from encouraging them. Give them a chance to prove themselves for you will not want to hold them back in any way.

Your thoughts are all over the place when your mind is cluttered with conflicting information and a mix of opinions. There's a need to find some space to call your own and do some quiet thinking. Weed out all the garbage in your mind so you are able to see clarity where currently there is only confusion.

Arguments early on aren't likely to last. The heat will soon be turned down. What seemed like a big priority recently will no longer fall into that category. A friend or workmate who knows their stuff will offer you some good advice. You will take their words seriously.

Communication with a relative who lives some distance away will relate to a family celebration being arranged for later in the year. You will be asked to help organise this event. At work or at college if you are a student, those in high positions need to know you can be relied on to keep a secret.

Your understanding of a colleague's position will help you make an important decision. A joint undertaking is being reviewed. Staff shortages have caused recent problems and getting the full facts of the situation will help those in charge recognise exactly what is going on. Be honest about your involvement in a recent transaction.

Intense emotions can lead to tension and lead to stress-related illnesses. A kind-hearted friend may offer to take on some of your load. You need to relax. Reading, painting, dancing and music are all good ways to slow your life down. Shut your mind off to anything that seems too demanding.

News regarding a career move will be good. Your family will want to celebrate your good fortune. It hasn't been luck that has brought you this far. It has been diligent effort, hard work and dedication. Good fortune has nothing to do with it but someone who is slightly envious of your position finds it easier to see it this way.

You may not have realised how much influence someone has been having on your thinking until you have had a chance to spend time alone, thinking about it. A friend with a powerful personality has made a big impact on your life but has this meant you have lost touch with your own true views and feelings.
