With everything back to normal, you will be forging ahead to catch up on your work load. You could also be receiving some form of recognition for some hard work you put in a short while ago. Changes within the workplace could cast you in a role which doesn't come naturally. Your personal ambitions could depend on how well you take to this. So although you doubt you're cut out for it, if it is a means to an end, you will give it your best shot.

The early hours of the day see you in a sober and conventional state of mind. You are determined to tackle responsibilities in a methodical manner. If you aren't happy with your financial situation, you might be hoping to get the family together later to discuss joint funds, shared expenses and insurance policies. Some form of major expenditure will be considered but if a loan agreement is involved, be extra careful. You could probably do without the appearance of a talkative visitor, this evening.

Although you enjoy being in the thick of all that's going on, it might pay to keep a low profile. Especially if you are working or involved in activities which require a large number of people you will get a better idea of what's going on from a vantage point behind the scenes. At a neighbourhood gathering, more people than expected will turn up and you could find yourself mixing with an unusually interesting group of people. New friendships could spring up from a chance encounter.

An enjoyable romantic experience puts stars in your eyes. Where you can look forward to enjoying a positive spell within your closest relationships, a friend is not having such luck in their romance. You sense they've got mixed up in a relationship that will only end in tears and maybe love is blinding them to reality. Despite your concern, you should not let this spoil what you have with your partner. Joint long term plans will help strengthen existing relationships.

A friend surprises you by fulfilling a promise made in the past. You never expected them to keep their word. Be careful what you say as someone could misconstrue your surprise for sarcasm. There is a slight risk of treading on sensitive toes. It might appear as if someone is making mountains out of molehills but patience is the key to getting around most obstacles today. A partner will need a considerable amount of cajoling if you are to get them to understand your point of view.

Social affairs are active and exciting. New ideas are shared and people are eager for new experiences; you need to start thinking about what's best for you. Start an exercise programme or look into joining a gym. Any attempts made to live a healthier lifestyle are bound to benefit you in the long run. There is also the chance of a new job coming your way, perhaps as a result of a tip off from someone in the know, in your social circle.

A verbal clash with a loved one stems from the fact you've not been spending enough time with each other recently. There has been so much going on outside the home that you've not wanted to miss. What you've not realised is while you were looking away, certain incidents would have benefited from your attention or intervention. Now you are aware of this, make an effort to make amends and give those who feel they have been neglected, more time and affection.

The company of like minded friends involved in a social enterprise will be inspiring and refreshing. This will also increase the level of commitment you feel to this cause. Your leadership qualities will come in useful as others make it clear they want you in the driving seat. There's a strong sense of togetherness whenever you get together with a certain special someone. If you're single, this could lead to plans for a march down the aisle, later in the year.

A straight forward shopping trip with the family could turn out to be a nightmare in disguise! If you're looking for specific items for the home, tastes may vary and it won't be easy to find something to please everyone. To save your sanity and the soles of your shoes, why don't you opt to shop alone? A loved one doesn't seem afraid to take a big risk but you will do your best to persuade them to hold back.

Increasing anxiety about your current financial situation could overshadow other issues. A loved one's inability to take money worries seriously is starting to annoy you and a serious discussion will be needed. If you can arrange it so you get to spend some time away from home, even if just for a few hours, the break will feel beneficial and the cobwebs will be well and truly blown away. Make plans for the months ahead without anyone else's interference.

Be ready for quite some changes in your personal life as you get involved in a charity or humanitarian activity. This will take time, effort and even money. In fact you might find yourself out of pocket as a result of this newfound interest; rest assured the spiritual reward will be ample recompense. Also, the company of like minded friends involved in a new enterprise will be inspiring. Single? A new love in your life may have to be kept in the background for a wee while.

A member of a club or group you belong to never seems to agree with you; today will be no exception. Although you will use tact and discretion to avoid a row, you're starting to tire of this same old pattern. It could be because issuing a stern ultimatum will shock them into realising you aren't likely to put up with their behaviour for very much longer. Expect to enjoy some lively and pleasant moments with friends, this evening.
