A youngster's comments will make you see a situation through very different eyes. You will realise that you've recently got it all wrong and although their words will have given you food for thought, they will have also given you something to laugh about.

If someone who is usually active and hard working seems unusually reluctant to get going, show them some respect. They're inactive because they are exhausted and you won't want them to feel you are expecting too much from them. Give them a chance to recharge.

Someone seems reluctant to give honest answers. What are they trying to hide? A genuine misunderstanding will cause a few problems. These are going to be hard to resolve but you can get to the root cause of the trouble if you ask the right questions.

If someone has helped you in the past, it's a matter of courtesy to be supportive of their needs when they approach you for advice. Showing interest in matters that concern your partner or closest friends will be appreciated by them.

A task you recently took on is turning out to be a lot easier than you had thought it would be. Although there have been a few hurdles, you have overcome these with ease. Someone seems to have exaggerated problems either due to their own inability or lack of skills.

You've been putting other people's demands and wishes in front of your own. This has been blocking your progress. Now that you realise this, you can do something about it now. You are also being asked to think about your health and whether you have been neglecting your own needs.

n paying attention to conversations going on around you, you could hear of an opening or opportunity that sounds interesting and attractive. New possibilities are likely and these will come through people you meet or connect up with online. New friendships made are likely to be lasting ones.

You wonder whether you made the right decisions when commitments you made in the past now hold little appeal to you. Too many people have become involved in a group project and it doesn't feel the same any more. If activities bring you little happiness, there is nothing wrong with pulling out of them.

Someone close will be made an offer that could take them to faraway places if they decide to go for it. What upsets you most is that you aren't included in this invitation even though it is something you would love to do. Opportunities in the workplace will target newcomers to the company. This won't seem fair to those who have been there for years.

You are left with having a lot to think about after some lively and interesting conversations. New procedures in an academic situation are stifling development. Those in senior positions will be having a rethink about the rules. You actually stand to benefit from what they eventually decide.

A little help from a friend or workmate will go a long way when they have talents that come in very useful. It won't be hard to find a way to show your appreciation. Now that you have been able to establish a workable household budget, you are starting to feel more in control of your finances.

Someone who is younger will be quick to butt into discussions with their own views and opinions. You might wonder where their confidence has come from. Are you single? A meeting linked with your job or a study course will put you in touch with someone special.
