A misleading piece of information could waste your time. Before responding or showing interest in anything make sure there's no deception involved. A friend or colleague may hold back from committing to new arrangements for reasons that will become clear later. Other people seem to know something you don't; it's in your interests to carry on as normal without showing you've noticed anything unusual. After all if someone feels they need to have a head start this can only be a compliment to you.

If life is too much responsibility and not enough relaxation think about what this is doing to your health. You must resolve this if you have not already done so, to have at least one day of the week during which you rest. Aim to have some fun and try to forget about work and other commitments. Do what you want to do and not what others expect or demand from you. Even if you're struggling financially, this is no reason why you can't have a day of rest.

Isn't it about time you spoke to the person who is on your mind and told them how you feel? Spilling out all emotions you've been keeping locked up inside is likely to lead to a more peaceful coexistence. If it seems your partner's more interested in their job, outside interests or friends than they are in your relationship, admit you're starting to feel neglected. Sit down, talk things through and discuss how the two of you can work to improve your union.

When it comes to a controversial domestic issue there'll be no budging a housemate today. When you stop and think about all the things they are criticising it might seem they're making mountains out of molehills. Although it appears as if you aren't ever going to get your own way, don't scrap your ideas altogether. They could be revived later when others are feeling more positive. Extra efforts made to be kind to people now will pay off in the future.

Hands on experience will help you learn how to operate a new piece of equipment. Watching while others do the work doesn't seem to have the same affect when you'd rather roll up your sleeves and get on with it. If you're in the middle of seeking new work or pushing for better working conditions, patience will be rewarded. If you aren't quite sure about whether to be friendly or formal with someone you've just met, watch for the signs that tell you when to stop or change tracks.

You need tolerance to endure the company of someone who refuses to take joint responsibilities very seriously. It is entirely possible they aren't assessing the situation in a realistic way and their understanding of what's being expected of them is slightly off beam. If you take them aside and have a quiet word, they are more likely to play a more helpful part in a group endeavour. They may even apologise for their past behaviour!

A meeting or get together may seem informal but it also has another more serious function. Some form of community project is being discussed; this could benefit a number of people if it gets the go ahead. The master plan is all set to start and all you need is for those in authority to give their consent. You are primed to take on a new challenge and give it all you've got. After a time snags and difficulties will disappear and you will see signs of slow, but steady progress.

You might hit a bump in the road to happiness but this will only be temporary and is no excuse to get disheartened. Just because a relationship is going through a few problems, perhaps due to a partner having priorities or obligations elsewhere, it doesn't mean things are over between you. You're too practical a person to live with the happily ever after mentality. Show others how adaptable you can be by proving you can lower your sights and admit to having had too high expectations.

Once people sense your determination and willpower their attitude towards your ideas will change. If in the recent past others have been scathing towards you, it will now be clear to them you do know what you're talking about. Someone you know at work may feel embarrassed at having put you down in front of others. They have shown themselves up for claiming to be an expert on something they clearly know nothing about!

You can't seem to switch off your emotions and feel everything so very strongly now. You're allowing outside events to affect you and this is a distraction, preventing you from getting on with what you should be doing. Another person's words or actions have upset you and prey on your mind. You might blame them for your current mood but you are the one who can pull yourself out of it. If someone succeeds in ruining your day it's because you helped them to do it.

You can't help rebelling against someone's bossy attitude; the more they demand, the less you will comply. In a work situation, a senior colleague's high handed manner is starting to annoy you. By being polite and kind you could take them by surprise. Reacting in an opposite way to what they are expecting, will force them to reconsider their behaviour.

If someone you're fond of doesn't seem very likeable today don't worry; their mood is only temporary. You might not like yourself at times for reacting sulkily just because others aren't responding as you expected, to your ideas and suggestions. If you don't like the way things are, change them. You're the only person who's standing in your way. A burst of energy and vivid approach to your work will impress those in high places.
