You know what other people expect of you. It might seem as if you are being manipulated but that is not true. You well aware of what's going on, what is motivating others and where everything is leading. This evening, you will keep conversations in the family light and you intend to avoid touchy topics.

You aren't totally against change and you won't close your mind to new ideas, routines or methods. It will be someone you live with or work with who will be objecting to the need for change. Someone who cares for your future happiness will have ideas that will sound strange at first. Give them time to grow on you.

The moment you sense trouble brewing either nip it in the bud or have a contingency plan ready, just in case. Look for a compromise if the family can't agree on what you should be doing. There's no reason why you can't all make different choices.

A misunderstanding when making family arrangements will cause difficulties further down the line. Relatives will pull out of plans because they were never consulted about them in the first place. Having the terms of an outing or event dictated to you will cause you some annoyance, too.

Before giving in to the temptation to splash out on an expensive whim and showering yourself or your friend with gifts ask yourself if you can really afford it. If a careless expenditure will leave you strapped for cash, why not treat yourself to a massage or spend time on a favourite hobby instead?

Strange dreams are causing you to question your past experiences. Discuss your thoughts with someone who was a part of your past. Your subconscious could be reminding you of mistakes you will not want to repeat again. A group needs you and you will be expected to play an important role in the team.

Explore your artistic impulses. Whether it is baking a cake or something more complex as designing a garden, you need to flex your creative muscles. If money is tight, express yourself freely through writing poetry or painting pictures. There is plenty you can do that won't cost a lot.

An altercation with a neighbour or older relative will cause a few ripples. Don't let this bother you too much as it will turn out to be a storm in a teacup. You will have a choice between spending the day with friends or opting for quieter pleasures and pastimes. Strive for balance.

In doing so many good deeds for others, you've lost sight of your own needs. When, for instance, was the last time you enjoyed quality time with your best friend or lover? Include activities you love into your day. Visit your favourite restaurant or go to the movies with your friends.

Your skills are invaluable in the workplace. Your work is being evaluated and because you feel passionately about what you are doing, your performance will reflect this. Are you unemployed and looking for work? Volunteering at a charitable organisation could provide you with experience in an area you would like to explore.

You may never have expected it earlier but recent conversations will have opened new doors. Someone will reveal they are in a position to help you achieve a special goal. Bite your tongue when a colleague makes a curt comment. They're envious that you are the one who has something to celebrate.

Someone is starting to ask too much from you. You respect their perfectionism but sometimes it isn't necessary. It isn't important to you that you make a flawless performance. You just want to relax and enjoy projects you share with your family and friends without having to feel you've got to get it perfect.
