People you are with during the early hours of the day may seem moody and difficult to understand. If there's a need to discuss matters that have caused contention, from midday onwards would be a better time to broach the subject. You might be keen to take on new responsibilities but you must also consider your physical well being. Taking on too much could put your health at risk.

Just for fun you might decide to do something different. Whatever your original plans for the day, it shouldn't be a problem to change them. Going along with a friend's impulsive suggestions could give you new ideas of your own. One word of caution: watch your spending. Someone nearby has ideas beyond their pockets.

You're obliged to lend a helping hand to an older relative, but you aren't doing them a favour because you want to. It's due to them in some way making you feel in their debt. If this person has helped you out financially or in any other way in the past, you can't let them manipulate you whenever the whim takes them. Find a way to avoid getting into a similar situation again.

You are full of good intentions for over the days ahead but have you prepared for all eventualities? It might be worth coming up with contingency plans now while you have the time to think about it. Not everything is going to go your way, be ready for the unexpected. Emotions will sometimes run away with you. Try at all times to keep your mind on what you are doing.

Financial transactions look like being a huge success but don't celebrate too soon. Hidden snags could slow things down over the days ahead. Amplified notions of what you might achieve materially, financially and professionally should be trimmed down to a more realistic level. Wait until you know everything is in the bag before you boast of your achievements.

If someone rejects your plans and ideas, this will make you all the more determined to put them into action. There is no reason why you can't instigate anything new. If you sense people might put hurdles in your way, use diplomacy to avoid head on confrontations. There are ways around these problems. A secretive approach is necessary in some of your dealings.

Getting on quietly behind the scenes will win the admiration of those in high places. A colleague will not be so respectful when they might perceive you as exploiting your relationship with a superior for your own advantage. You might be tempted to put yourself out for someone in order to get in their good books. Don't feel you have to justify your decisions or actions to anyone.

A group effort starts off great but differences in opinions over the days ahead could mar your progress. Allowing someone to get their own way today could make them even more aggressive tomorrow and the next day. Their destructive ideas could mean you have to revise and redo work already achieved. To avoid such a happening, it's up to you to be the realistic one now.

This will be a good week to further your professional interests. Taking charge in a difficult situation will bolster your image. People start seeing you through new and more reverential eyes. You enjoy the way others seek you out for your views and opinions. It is always good to feel needed and appreciated. Watch for the chance to channel your talents into worthwhile pursuits.

Before going ahead with the plans you are making consider what might be standing between you and your aims. Someone who appears to support you now could use their power to put obstacles in your way, over the days ahead. I'm not saying you shouldn't trust everyone. What you should do is keep your wits about you and only give your ideas and plans away on a need to know basis.

If you get some extra money today put it away in a savings account. If you're looking for new ways to increase your income this is a good time to start looking at what's available. You don't want to think about money all the time but someone close keeps returning to the subject. There's rather an uncomfortable atmosphere developing between you and a lover or close friend.

Don't be in a rush to throw in the towel when things go wrong; teaming up with a friend might be the solution. Others will help you find ways to solve your dilemmas. Where you are lacking in knowledge or talents they will make up for it. Just as you will be able to help others in areas where they aren't so skilled. You scratch their back and they will scratch yours!
