Others in your world are in an outgoing and fun-loving frame of mind. Friends fully intend to enjoy activities that have little to do with routine. If you allow yourself to be swept away by someone's desire to liven things up, who knows where this might lead.

Someone is urging you to respond to a recent proposal. Their impatience is starting to annoy you. They might be keen to start on something new but you are right to tread with care. There will be more ships on the horizon so to take on too much now might mean you will miss out on other opportunities to come.

You can't force someone to see sense about a financial matter if they refuse to listen. Some people need to learn from their own mistakes and this is an example. Stop worrying about where a friend or workmate's behaviour might lead to and get on with your own life.

You and a partner are in perfect tune with one another. The decision to make things more permanent between you will come easily. Neither of you treat romance like it's a frivolous game. Joint long-term plans will be agreed. Are you single? Giving support to someone who needs it could lead to the start of a lasting friendship.

Reaching a compromise over joint financial matters will take time but it is possible. You and a partner need to have a heart to heart discussion. You want others to understand your point of view but you need to try, too, to understand what they are saying. This could bring a workable compromise.

A friend or neighbour is demanding something from you and since they recently did you a favour they feel they have a right to expect you to repay their good deed. You feel cornered and forced into having to do this but it would be best to get it over with now. In future you might think twice about whose help you accept.

An apology someone makes will mean nothing unless they prove by their actions that they do intend to rectify their mistake. A lot of people have been hurt by their behaviour and it is generally felt that more should be done to tackle an issue that is causing constant friction.

People in high places are looking at options to help those who need it to get through what are going to be difficult times ahead. Whether this means setting up a new charity or community project, volunteering to help will make you feel you are doing your bit for the community.

Try looking at a frustrating situation from different angles. There are ways to get out of a difficult predicament. If you're up against a problem connected with joint finances, don't leave it to others to make all the decisions. Be willing to talk and encourage everyone who is involved to discuss all available options.

You have some difficult choices ahead. You want one thing but someone in the family is planning something completely different. It might feel as if this is a cosmic test of your resolve and you will intend to stick with your own decisions. Refrain from getting drawn into arguments.

You just can't continue to give a friend who is crying for attention all the time, help and consideration they are demanding from you. Don't feel so guilty. There may be schemes or organisations in your area that can help provide a solution to this problem.

Devote a little time each day to a challenging project and you will start seeing results. Creative work will put you in a good mood. A household repair will take a toll on your budget. A generous relative might offer to help if you are struggling to keep on top of basic household bills.
