Activities which keep you close to home or in surroundings you are familiar with suit you better than anything unusual. You aren't particularly in the mood to make the most of new experiences or for exploring strange places. Despite what you think, other people will understand and sympathise with your mood if you explain your feelings. It could actually be they feel the same way too!

A close friend or neighbour is in a sensitive mood and they will tend to pick everything up the wrong way. Having to explain yourself two or three times over is bound to get tiresome and exasperating. As a rule you are usually patient and understanding but there are exceptions to every rule and such an exception is likely today. You just won't be in the mood to deal with people who misinterpret everything you say.

Be prepared to take your time today and accept the advice being offered. Don't close your mind to other people's suggestions just because they don't think the same way you do. You are trying to convince yourself and others you are going about something the right way but your self assurance actually makes you vulnerable. You can no longer impress a knowledgeable person with this outward facade. If they see the flaws in your methods they will point them out and you would be wise to pay attention.

Once you get over your initial surprise you will enjoy the challenges coming your way. Rather than getting on with mundane chores, you will get the chance to exercise your mind and imagination and show yourself in your true colours. You might be hoping friends and colleagues will support your aims. In which case the energy and enthusiasm you are putting into a target that means a lot to you will win all the backing you might need.

A friend or colleague's insistence on keeping some things a secret is starting to cause an atmosphere. They enjoy the drama and intrigue they're generating but you will find it irritating and unnerving. It would be better not to make too much of their behaviour. Have patience and find a way to investigate some matters without their knowing. Whatever they are keeping to themselves will soon be revealed. By the end of the day you will wonder what the fuss was all about.

You can afford to tactfully ignore the advice of other people if this goes against what you feel is right. Your perception is high and you can rely on your own judgement. Once you've launched into activities that hold your interest it will feel as if you're doing something worthwhile and meaningful. However, there is someone you must leave behind because they keep reconsidering every step they take.

A little caution shown today where professional matters are concerned will swiftly reap ample rewards. The outcome of a tricky situation will prove your handling of delicate relationship issues cannot be faulted. Don't be surprised when colleagues start picking your brains for similar advice. The desire to better your education to improve your career prospects is worth acting on.

Long term plans start to mature and your future prospects look brighter. Distant affairs claim your attention. It should be safe to go out on a variety of reasonably stout limbs now. As an example, you might take a chance with a new work routine or even take a long shot at a promotion possibility. Or when an investment idea is put to you, you could take a calculated risk.

You don't need anyone to tell you what's value for money and what's best to pass up! A friend might try to convince you a scheme or dream that holds some risk is worth further investigation. If this involves parting with your hard earned cash, hold back before you show your interest. Once people see they've got your attention, they'll keep pestering you when you would rather defer decisions until you've had time to think things through thoroughly.

Forget any ideas you may have had to get on with private projects or personal goals. A close friend or partner just isn't in the mood to let you get away with ignoring them. The only way to get some peace is to fall in with their wishes. As it is, they have some good ideas so don't be so reluctant to consider their suggestions.

If it feels like you have to make huge exertions to accomplish anything; maybe your health isn't as good as it should be. If you haven't had a lot of time to exercise and if you haven't been watching what you eat, it is understandable you aren't in the best of conditions! It won't take a lot of imagination to resolve the problem. Be sure to act on your decisions immediately as once you start thinking healthily, you will start feeling a lot better too!

A confusion of ideas distracts joint plans for advancement but the mix up isn't likely to last very long. You could be made responsible for a new project and because you're left to make the decisions you will feel more in control. New colleagues or friends are likely to enter your orbit and you will get on well with them. Concentrate on light hearted subjects this evening.
