Your attitude is more purposeful and focused now as fresh new options appeal. Personal or professional aims are clearer; consequently you might be writing off some past intentions that no longer seem feasible. As some hopes evaporate, new and more meaningful ones emerge. The real source of your inspiration is the encouragement and support being offered by a person you've always admired. To have them behind you moves you more than you're inclined to say!

A good time to lift off any new project or venture of a long term nature. Turning your back on challenges you aren't in the mood for could be a big mistake. Deal with your doubts as they arise but don't let them influence your decisions. You might not think you're capable of a certain task or responsibility but if you've never done it before, you won't really find out until you give it a try.

You're more popular than ever and you seem to be attracting a lot of attention without intending to. All sorts of people will come to you telling you things they feel you ought to know; you wonder why they're being so obliging! Some snippets of information passed on to you today will be useful and you will file these in your memory to think over later. Other pieces of gossip you won't be interested in at all and it's unlikely you'll pay a lot of attention to hearsay.

Are you listening to what is being said or could it be the words are going in one ear and out the other? It might seem to an outsider that you and a partner are talking past each other. Neither of you is paying any real attention to what the other one is saying. Make some time to sit down, take turns to talk and be sure you both get all those emotions you've bottled up inside out into the open. Be cool about it once some truths have been spoken; a new understanding will develop as a result.

It's because you always say what you mean and mean what you say that people find it easy to trust you. It's not too difficult to see why others are drawn to you for your help and advice. The pendulum could swing to the opposite direction later in the day when you might need to consult an expert before you can make a decision affecting your career. Your inability to give full rein to your potential may cause a degree of frustration but this is one of those times when you have to hold back and wait for the right moment to make your move.

A sudden surge of activity may mean having to work later than usual or you are called into work on your day off. If your workmates are treating you as if you don't have a life outside your work, now is the time to gently remind them you do actually have a life of your own. There's such a thing as being overly obliging so watch out and refuse to allow other people to abuse your helpfulness. You're more likely to be keeping yourself to yourself over the weeks ahead.

Where there is an atmosphere of mild enmity, don't dwell for too long on words that probably weren't intentional. A friend or neighbour might indulge in some back biting and as so often happens, this has arisen from a streak of jealousy. Things will sort themselves out surprisingly quickly if you ignore their comments and let it be. In fact this could be a satisfactory day in every sense as long as you ignore any sarcastic remarks you have the misfortune to hear!

This is not the time to take a financial or professional risk; think about the consequences before taking action. If you're single a meeting could have all the ingredients of a whirlwind romance; once passion weakens and common sense kicks in you could be left kicking yourself! Disentangling yourself from this mess won't be easy! In finance, keep your money right where it belongs, in the bank. A 'sure thing' is only as sure as the reliability of the person who makes you this promise.

Exchanging ideas about the future could result in you changing your original plans altogether. What you really crave is excitement and adventure and if you discover someone with similar yearnings, there will be no stopping you once you get your heads together. You need to look into some ideas to work out how viable they are and consider the financial implications. Even so, some exciting possibilities could result from today's discussions and transactions.

Dividing your time between a range of different jobs means you will get little if anything accomplished. You aren't focusing on any one thing long enough to make any real difference. What you need to do is make a list of all the jobs you have to do and focus on only one or two at a time. Delegate if possible and accept you have recently taken on too much and it's time to draw the line.

Plans could fall through but you half expected this anyway; someone is disappointed and comes to you for comfort. You will know all the right things to say to reassure them but you also know there's no point dwelling on what cannot be. Nobody will argue with your logic especially when it comes to joint decisions; it will be apparent you have their best interests at heart and others will be glad to put some things into your capable hands.

Shrug off all your cares and woes as the day has a progressive feel to it; your morale will get a pleasing boost. Thoughts are exchanged; plans for the future are being arranged. Everything is going your way and you can't put a foot wrong. All the cobwebs will be swept away from inside your head as you realise you have a lot to look forward to now. At the close of the day indulge your romantic and sexual fantasies and share your feelings.
