Enterprising schemes you come up with today could turn out surprisingly practical. This is your chance to show everyone how ideas can be turned into something useful very quickly. Be prepared for some fireworks in the evening hours; a housemate or neighbour has a grievance they need to air. If you're patient and calm, you will find a way to work things out and it will all be forgotten by tomorrow morning.

You're shouldering too many responsibilities; find a way to share your burdens. Overdoing things will make you ill. If you're devoting a lot of your time to charitable or other voluntary causes, you may have to reduce these commitments for a wee while. A message or incident late in the day may prompt a relative to discuss their true feelings. This gives you something to mull over when you find yourself alone.

Persuade a friend or loved one to stop obsessing over their personal disappointments. They feel they're getting it worse than everyone else and they expect sympathy in abundance. Since you can see all the good things in their life they should be pleased about, it's hard to give them the pity they're looking for. Instead, give them a stern talking to and get them to pull themselves together.

Ask for a favour today and some will insist they have a dozen other things to do. You rightly suspect a friend or housemate is inventing half of the responsibilities they say they have. Don't forget their uncooperativeness in a hurry. When a new friend or neighbour sees you struggling they'll offer a helping hand and it could be the start of a warm and lasting friendship. Loved ones and people you've known for years aren't going out of their way to be helpful.

Once you catch your breath after a rush of activity you might suddenly realise there was an easier way of doing things. Still, all is well that ends well and as long as everyone is pleased with the result, it won't really matter how it came about. Feelings run high at a group event in the evening; someone is making too many demands and it will be necessary to get them to lower their expectations.

Clearing out all the junk in your life makes you feel good but don't be too quick to throw useful items away. Someone out there may have need for those items you intend to dispose of. Advertise them on a local swap exchange site or donate them to a charity shop. A neighbour may even offer to pay a good price to take one or two items off your hands. Things you think are a liability could turn out to be an asset after all.

Someone is keen to help you with your personal plans; their dreams are in tune with your wishes. Whether you've known them for years or you've only just met, it doesn't really matter. You know you can trust them and that joining forces will bring results in the future you could never have managed on your own. Doing someone a good deed in secret, this evening, will bring unexpected rewards.

If you've been neglecting your body, go out and get some exercise. It is especially important to do this if you're depressed or unhappy. By getting your body moving, you will be keeping anxiety and stress at bay. Once you start thinking more clearly your thoughts will be more open to the possibilities surrounding you. After exercise, you will feel better, you will treat other people better and you will also handle situations better too!

You're trying to stifle emotions but hiding feelings won't make them go away. The longer you neglect this aspect of your personality, the harder it will be to reconnect with it. It might seem comforting to bury your emotions but do you really want to feel like half a person? A sensitive friend is there with a listening ear and their advice will be well worth heeding.

Sign up for a course or join a local group and this will be a boon to your popularity. Being involved in one degree or another with other people helps you gain confidence in yourself, in your abilities and in the likelihood of you improving your social situation. Someone needs your help. Go forth and perform some small kindness; you will be amazed by what this does to your reputation.

Until you accept the backing of a powerful person, you might never get a venture or project off the ground. Even if you had wanted this to be a solo effort, today it will become apparent you need help to get it under way. You would really like to make a start on something special and time is running out. Unless you make the most of the opportunities around you now, you might never get this enterprise launched.

A change of job or going to college may mean a significant reduction in income. If this was planned, you won't mind making some sacrifices in certain areas in order to enjoy a more fulfilling future in others. If you feel forced into the situation, it will take some getting used to. You might be losing sleep through worrying too much. Don't keep anxieties bottled up inside share them with a friend or professional and ease the burden.
