Rumours concerning your long term plans for the future could be misleading so don't believe all you hear. Rash actions will only scupper something that means so much to you. Watch what you say beyond casual conversation and pause before making important commitments to a committee or council.

The week may almost be at an end but be happy to put in some extra time to get a special project that means much to you off the ground. So what if your social life is kept down to a minimum, in the long run you will have so much to show for what you do now - besides a true friend understands.

A challenge or suggestion put to you now will be a tougher nut to crack than it looks but you won’t be happy until you’ve cracked it. You’re almost fanatical in your determination to succeed and there’s no reason why you shouldn’t do so, especially if you accept a help from someone in the know.

You sense it already but the easy-going mood around you is coming to an end and the hard work is about to begin. Behind-the-scenes activity will keep you out of the limelight and total absorption in the job-in-hand. Whatever you do now don’t be distracted into dealing with silly side issues.

Offer your support to someone going through a difficult and complex time. They will always remember you were there for them when they needed you which means a lot. If you have a partner, don't treat him or her as if they don't exist as they need reassurance - take them for granted at your peril.

If you're asked to take charge of a fragile situation or do something you've never tried before, brush aside any doubts and fears and have the same faith in yourself that those who asked you have. Take things slowly, and, I know you like perfection, but remember, this only comes with practice.

You have a long list of things people want you to do but have neither the time nor inclination. To keep the peace you’ll want to say “Yes”. but this is the kind of response people expect who craftily want to take advantage of you. Break the pattern now and learn to use the “No” word for your own good.

You fancy having a clear-out but be careful about what you do with your rubbish. You could break, give or throw away something that has far more memory or meaning than you realise. What looks like garbage is probably more valuable than it appears - remember where there’s muck there’s brass.

Your inner sparkle attracts plenty of attention. Expect an exciting invitation for a Friday night out which leads to a wild suggestion you can’t resist - or should you? You’re such good company is it any wonder no hot spots complete without you? Someone you meet is instantly crazy for you.

You can't expect to feel dynamic when you're not getting the chance to fully recharge your batteries. Get through the demands of the day as best you can, but plan a peaceful weekend doing nothing more strenuous than pottering around at home or garden. If you’re holidaying, even better.

Let your hair down and hang the cost. There are times when retail therapy or good old fashioned fun is just what you need. If you’re planning to get away from it all then it couldn’t be a better time to travel. A journey could lead you to making a decision that is no where to be seen yet.

If you're waiting for someone to repair or install something, they may call later or earlier than expected. This could knock your whole schedule out but worse still, there may be a further delay because parts have to be ordered. It’s worth making a call to confirm the situation to save time.
