You could be getting together with some friends or a partner for a special purpose. Whether you are shopping, house-hunting or spending the day away, you will feel, by this evening that your energy has been well-spent. Relationships thrive and you will enjoy the conversations that take place today. If single, it will be more than curiosity aroused when you are introduced to a friend of a friend.

A relative could be making waves and upsetting other family members. Losing your temper will only exasperate the situation. Issues brought up within the family must be worked out immediately. Leave them for another day and they will only get worse. If someone is bossing others about and trying to lay down the law, ignoring their demands and giving them the silent treatment is one way to make your objections clear.

The morning hours could be taken up with activities of a routine but fairly serious nature. It's a good time to make important phone calls and to complete study assignments. All this should change once midday arrives. In the afternoon, you could receive a sudden invitation to meet up with friends. Whatever you may have previously planned, accept a spontaneous offer. The closing hours of the day are made for relaxing in pleasant company!

You begin the day in a restless mood and this shows no signs of abating. You might enjoy activities with children and other leisure interests. If you let others know, early on, what you're thinking, there should be no shortage of friends who share your desires. Wait too late to get in touch with people and they will already be out and about. Spending the day at home will not suit your mood. You need to be active, occupied and involved.

Keep your wits about you when it comes to anything of a personal nature. Or, for that matter, any subject that could affect your future security. An unlikely person could seem a little too interested in your private affairs and you are right to be suspicious. For the time being, take a step back and watch what's going on from the background. You can't watch, listen and learn if you're always at the centre of attention.

It's not a day to change the way you do things. A young relative might suggest new routines; they won't be as wonderful as they sound. A quiet, relaxing day would suit you perfectly but this could be difficult to arrange. Avoid friends who seem to always find it difficult to slow down. People who spend hours gossiping will also get you down so why not unplug the phone for a few hours?

It might feel as if you are a magnet for gossipy types today. Although you appreciate people have their dreams, you might grow bored with conversations that wander into the realms of fantasy. You have plenty to do without being trapped by such timewasters. Put some of your charm into play and either change the subject or discreetly move away.

If you're working today, the job scene will be busy and you will be kept on your toes. There is no reason why you should shoulder all the responsibilities. If a colleague looks as if they have some time on their hands, don't be reluctant to farm out some of your jobs on them. Remind others that many hands make for light work. Insist those around you start pulling their weight.

You're in the mood to get out and about; you want company too and plenty of it! If there is some kind of social event planned, don't be surprised to find yourself playing a life-and-soul-of-the-party role! You might enjoy participating in sports and other physical activities. When you're in such a restless mood it's hard to say what activities you will pursue but what's certain is: if there's a competitive spirit, you're in it to win!

Your attention is drawn to a joint account or shared budget; even if not in the mood, deal with it now. Don't assume your partner will go along with the way you think cash should be saved and spent. They are likely to have their own plans. There is a way to persuade others to go along with your way of thinking. Let them think they came up with all the ideas and this could help save you a lot of bother.

A sociable day when relaxing with old friends and new acquaintances is an ideal way to spend your time. There is one note of caution: while enjoying yourself, you could get carried away and spend more than intended. Guard against the temptation to squander more than is sensible while out with a new friend or partner. Be sensible and you will at least end the day feeling more settled in a financial sense.

Follow your imagination if you're stuck with a domestic or financial problem. You're full of innovative ideas so it won't be surprising to discover how well you cope with minor difficulties. A friend's talents or knowledge could also come in useful today; be sure to remember you owe them a favour. If you feel you need a rest physically, the evening hours should provide plenty of relaxation.
