Someone wants to do you a favour so you can have more time for personal affairs; don't look a gift horse in the mouth. Soon you will get the green light to start on a special project. It would be wise therefore to tie up loose ends and get prepared for things yet to come. Help and support from friends and colleagues is there for the taking.

If there is a job you want over and done with today, pull together with those around you and make it happen. When you come across problems, it won't take long to overcome these if you take the advice of a knowledgeable companion. Your decision to get the bulk of your work out of the way pays off as you will have more time, next week, to devote to new business.

Someone has worked hard to get where they are; now they could do with your specialised skills or knowledge. An associate has set themselves goals they cannot reach without some help. You respect their initiative and the effort they have put in to get this far. You are as determined to see them succeed. Action stays at a high level throughout the day and continues into the evening courtesy of some lively friends!

Someone puts in an appearance when you least expect it and this could cause you some personal embarrassment. If you're keeping a secret from a friend or loved one, be extra careful today. Consider the consequences if they do find out! Plans you are making behind the scenes could involve a journey or a move to a faraway place. Not everyone is going to support you in these aims.

It won't be easy to come to grips with a financial matter; the more you question, the more complicated it gets. You might be offered what sounds like an amazing deal but are there strings attached? Bringing your uncertainties out in the open could clearly upset a salesperson or trader. The chances are they are thinking about their commission and not what is in it for you!

You could get caught up in someone else's business due to you offering them help or advice. It isn't in you to turn your back on a friend or colleague who has got themselves in a mess. Your concern is welcome and others are grateful for your kindness. You can't help thinking about all you didn't manage to do by the end of the day but the sacrifice will have been worth it.

A decision you are making this morning will affect someone else's life as well as your own. Your thoughts go round in circles as you see the situation from a number of different angles. It might seem odd to dismiss other people's feelings but you should aim to be objective as you make up your mind. Try to forget it all and get out with like minded friends, this evening.

Giving in to a loved one's wishes will mean you have to hold back your own plans for advancement. Is this fair? There is a feeling of restlessness surrounding you and this shouldn't be ignored. A comment someone throws your way makes it seem as if they think you are being selfish. As much as you want to please others, you can't make their needs a priority all the time!

Domestic matters and plans involving the family have been quietly forging ahead. Now you are starting to see results, your thoughts drift elsewhere. If routine is starting to bore you and you feel a need to escape, cut loose and give yourself up to other events and activities going on around you. A night out with friends will be a huge success thanks to a perfect blend of friendly companions and quality romance.

A friend or neighbour who has been acting strangely will be easier to understand today. Plans already made could be postponed for a variety of reasons. This will be no inconvenience to you. Social movements will be confined to your immediate vicinity. This gives you the chance to catch up on local news and gossip. With people being so friendly watch what you say as there are some things you must keep to yourself.

Check financial affairs are up to date; play a waiting game if you aren't certain about a sale or purchase. If you're considering a new pension or insurance policy, read the small print. Is the scheme you're being offered, the right one for you? If considering the future of a close partnership you won't yet be ready to make a decision. You want to know you feel the same way in a few days time.

You might disappoint people who expect you to go along with their views but you can't say you agree when you don't! When you see someone's reaction as you voice your opinions your response is to falter and try to please them. Don't! You're entitled to speak your mind and get yourself heard. It won't be easy, but you should be firm.
