If you know you didn't do anything wrong by being honest with a friend, don't feel guilty about it. If someone you care for is being awkward just because you told them the truth and they don't want to face it, don't shut them out of your life. Visit them and pretend nothing happened. Eventually the awkwardness will pass and your relationship will get back to normal. They may even admit you were right to tell them what you did, 'though this won't be immediately!

You will prefer to pursue activities and avenues of thought to bring you peace of mind. It's your spiritual and emotional needs you are more in touch with now. Normally you wouldn't put off 'til tomorrow what you could be doing today but you're feeling slightly lazy and lacking in physical drive. For this reason you will be happy to relax and take care of your emotional health. You will also be looking after yourself by not taking on additional burdens.

Some high speed research is called for now if you're to demonstrate your grasp of a difficult subject. Relationships are slightly challenging; perhaps you are building a whole new social life or you're restructuring your group involvements. There's a lot of juggling to be done and you will succeed. You're making the right impression on those around you. Even so, you will still be feeling the strain. Think before you speak and avoid knee jerk reactions.

Ignoring the undesirable parts of a relationship because the sex is great is only asking for trouble. If a partner is insisting on a prenuptial agreement before marriage, consider why they feel they cannot trust you. If there's the slightest doubt about entering a long term agreement with another, don't do it. Away from relationships, there's a hint of a bargain coming your way all because you give way to an impulse to buy an offered object.

Don't be too hard on yourself if today's efforts fall short of your expectations. If you've finally steeled yourself to tackling a job you've been putting off for ages, this is probably because you know it wasn't going to be easy. The point to bear in mind is you are making an effort and you are making progress. Before you let doubt get the better of you, remember, things aren't as bad as they seem!

If there is a place you can go and think without anyone disturbing you, that's where you'll be heading. You might enjoy the luxury of being alone plain and simply because you're tired of running around all over the place trying to keep other people happy. As it is, friends and housemates are volatile and unpredictable. Just a few hours alone will be of immense help in smoothing out the difficulties and frustrations which may have been bothering you over the past few days.

It doesn't matter who it is or what it's about, if you aren't happy with a situation, say so. Others will respect you for calling it the way you see it and very quickly you will gain support from those who think like you. Decisions made now will bring changes for the better and a fair amount of hard work will be called for once you start on your ideas. You're going through a positive and outgoing phase and you will feel on top of the world.

It will pay today, to be alert and to use your innate wisdom and good sense when making decisions. If you find yourself at a crossroads, catering to your emotions might lead nowhere. You need to use your common sense and don't let your heart rule your head. Single? You hit it off with a newcomer and it won't take long before you both realise you share the same mental plane. Whether emotionally there is any spark, it's perhaps too soon to say.

It isn't easy to keep both feet planted firmly on the ground when you have so much to be excited about. The rising tide will sweep you off your feet if you aren't watchful. Even if you feel comfortable where you are, your best bet would be to remove yourself to a safer place. There are risks associated with today's dealings and activities. There's nothing wrong with taking the odd gamble as long as you're aware of what you might lose as well as what you hope to gain.

Take time to talk to those who are thinking of making changes and find out what's bothering them. It is entirely possible there has been a misunderstanding. Doubts in the air will be swept away after a heart to heart. If it is uncertainty about relationships causing someone discomfort, reassuring body language from you might help defuse some of their anxiety. The best you can do for those around you who seem doubtful is put yourself in their shoes and try to ease their mind.

Letting someone control you makes you feel worthless and you won't let it happen. Just as you won't stand by and watch someone else being ridiculed for their beliefs, race, likes or dislikes. If anyone makes insensitive jokes or assumptions, don't let your silence speak for you; say exactly what you think of their comments. You might become actively involved in a campaign, petition or human rights group in your community.

In romance, your desire is not just to be physically bound to another, you want the emotional ties as well. But when emotions get going, you might feel as if you've recently made a bit of a fool of yourself. Although you aren't much of an outgoing person, you can be demonstrative and maybe this hasn't gone down well with a less effusive lover. Don't try to change for anyone. Just be who you are and you might surprise someone by the depth of your feelings.
