Someone will leave it until the last possible minute to fulfil their obligations. You were half expecting them to let you down. You have a feeling they held back deliberately as a way to get their own back on you over a recent argument. Even so you will be relieved they are keeping to their promises.

Just as a conversation is getting interesting a friend will get a text or phone call that distracts them. You want to hear the whole story but you may have to wait until later in the day to remind them that they hadn't finished their tale. Good news will concern a special aim.

You would never make fun of anyone who isn't doing very well. That's why you will feel annoyed with someone who thinks it is amusing to laugh at other people's mistakes. It may be necessary for you to step in and say positive things to help lift a youngster's spirits. Use words of encouragement and watch them flower.

An overly critical colleague is starting to get you down. They find fault in everything you do even though you know you are giving it your best effort. Their rivalry is what is causing the problem. The more they criticise, the more powerful they feel. You hate telling tales but you should alert the powers that be to what is going on.

A romantic partner or close friend is proving unreliable. They have let you down on more than one occasion and because you want to think well of them, you have always given them the benefit of the doubt. This situation cannot continue. You need to face facts about their personality. In the long-term you need someone who is more stable and trustworthy.

You were under the impression a group project was going well. Sudden and unexpected obstacles will start getting in the way and slowing progress down. It won't take you long to discover that someone has been telling you what they thought you wanted to hear. You would have preferred them to be honest with you.

More responsibilities are being piled on your shoulders. You already have enough on your plate. Someone in a position of power does not want to hear. You will be upset at their lack of sensitivity. An older colleague or an advice bureau will come to the rescue in a business or financial matter.

You need to find ways to switch off and recharge your battery. You've reached a point when you can hardly distinguish between a weekday and the weekend. It's hard to show an interest in a new opportunity when it means taking on more responsibilities. It is time to say no.

It is not a time to keep your thoughts to yourself. Loved ones cannot know how you feel if you bottle it all up inside. A heart to heart will be the first step to mending bridges in a close relationship. You will be encouraged to talk and it will be a relief to be able to express your emotions.

There may be the need to give something up for someone else. This will give you less time to dwell on if-only's. Wallowing in self-pity when you can't have what you want isn't going to do you a lot of good. If a job goes wrong or a relationship suddenly seems to be going nowhere, face up to reality.

You stand to profit from a tip given to you by someone who is more qualified or experienced. Your heart is set on achieving a personal goal. At first you might resent someone stepping in and offering advice. Later, you will realise they are just trying to help you achieve what you are aiming for.

It means a lot to you to be able to make a difference in other people's lives but are you doing too much for others? A friend or relative is leaning heavily on you. They have got used to you doing everything for them. You can't help someone who can't help themselves and you're starting to realise this now.
