Plans for later in the week may have to be changed. You will have more success if you get everything organised as early in the day as possible. Later, there will be problems getting in touch with people and organising a different date, time and venue to suit everyone. If you keep at it, by this evening, you should be glad to have dispensed with an undesirable task.

Show a friendly face to the world and those around you will be happy to help you achieve whatever you desire. If you insist on getting on with extra duties on your own, you shouldn't be surprised to notice a slowing down of productivity! Be honest if and when you need practical assistance or even helpful advice. You don't really want to let things slide through being too proud or stubborn.

Someone who clearly isn't feeling energetic or lively doesn't seem keen on the plans you are making today. You need to be patient with a friend or loved one who is in a gloomy frame of mind. They may not be able to explain why they feel despondent but that doesn't mean they aren't being genuine. If someone isn't their usual friendly self at least leave them in no doubt you will always be there when they need you.

Sometimes it is advantageous when you allow emotions to govern your decisions. At other times it is best to be as rational as possible in your decision making. Today, in your closest relationships, you can comfortably rely on your intuition. In matters of work or finance you would be wise to keep emotions out of it. Business matters in particular require careful scrutiny.

Your financial position and long term prospects may be under discussion. You might be happy with the way things are but someone close is suggesting the situation is not as it should be. Your partner or a close associate seems to know which side of their bread is buttered. Their suggestions are worth considering. A little investigation brings new insights about a money matter.

A hard day's work lies ahead. You are likely to meet with problems if you act on a friend or colleague's advice. Their suggestions are well intended but they could make life more complicated for you. If you know what you are doing, carry on regardless of what anyone else may have to say. Single? You could meet with romance unexpectedly this evening.

A proposition put to you by your partner or a close friend will give you food for thought. You may rather reluctantly find yourself taking an interest in an activity which has never appealed to you in the past. Someone will have a way of making things sound more alluring. At work, you could be offered the chance of a promotion or an increase in salary.

You will get on well with some people; with others you have to constantly watch what you say to avoid misunderstandings. If a friend or colleague seems unwilling to talk, spend a wee while thinking over recent events. Something has occurred which has made them feel incapable or surplus to requirements. If people have got the wrong impression regarding joint arrangements, clear up the confusion as soon as possible.

You have bags of energy to work out of your system. Many areas of your life are looking good; you have ample reason to feel optimistic. Your positive, go ahead mood is contagious. Before too long you will have persuaded others to join you in a project that's likely to show rapid results. It might seem as if today is all yours when people are bending over backwards to be of help to you.

It will take some time to achieve the targets you are setting yourself now. You are a realist and you know some aims can't be achieved in one day. Working towards your goals makes you feel you are making steady progress in life. The steps forward you now take leave you satisfied you are heading in the right direction. Family matters take a turn for the better.

You have ideas you would like to develop further but being overly independent could cause resentment with someone close. You aren't being anti-social through insisting on having time to yourself to expand on the thoughts currently in your mind. Friends may be baffled because you seem so withdrawn. You are enjoying a greater degree of self sufficiency!

Even if you weren't intending to spend on anything today you could discover a few good bargains or worthwhile buys. A time or labour saving device seems too good an offer to miss. Housemates may need a little convincing. The question is: do you miss out while waiting for them to make up their mind? There are some projects you could go ahead with, without gaining anyone's agreement.
