A friend or neighbour might need some extra understanding today. Or you could be feeling misunderstood and taken advantage of in your partnerships. A relationship is deteriorating or leading to a situation when one of you might say or do something you might later regret. Without doubt, you need time away from each other. A little space will give tempers the chance to cool and you will be in a better frame of mind to handle the situation.

You aren't sure how you feel about something you hear today and this is a matter you don't particularly want to think about. If you're a little upset or angry, it might be in your interests to swallow your reaction and take your mind off things that are disturbing you by attending to more light hearted matters. Efforts made to keep the day upbeat and cheerful will pay off. Some situations will turn out not to have been as bad as they first appeared.

Are you making too many personal sacrifices to keep a friend smiling? If you feel like groaning whenever someone gets in touch with you because you know they will want something from you, it is time to reassess the value of this relationship. Romance too, might have a two steps forward and one backward feel to it at the moment. If you're at the start of a new relationship don't get too serious too soon.

You might prefer to get on with work you can handle alone, when you are at home today. If you're out shopping and lately you've been trying to make every penny count, you could find a few good bargains. If you're single a new kid on the block is likely to be quite a charmer but there is a lot you have yet to find out about them. So don't get too carried away with your romantic daydreams!

Someone proves to be incompetent when you had expected them to be capable of more. Perhaps they are too embarrassed to ask for assistance. Be diplomatic in your associations with others; you will gain most help and cooperation from asking rather than taking other people's help for granted. Should anyone try to give an opinion, bear in mind they do have your best interests at heart.

You have been working hard lately and if nothing else a lazy day should present you with a chance to recoup your energy. If you're lucky enough to be spending the day pottering around at home you might notice a distinct ease in the tension you have recently been feeling. You aren't keen on getting on with domestic chores so don't be surprised if this attitude generates a scowl from your housemates!

Most pleasure will be gained outside your own four walls today. The chance to participate in an exciting group or charitable event will have come about as a result of your past efforts to assist others in this direction. Your feet aren't likely to stay in the one place for very long and you might find yourself discussing possible long distance business with people you are mixing with, socially.

It is like you are on a see-saw when it comes to dealing with housemates and other relatives. One person wants one thing, another something different and you're in the middle trying to keep everyone happy. You might think about trying to improve communication in your closest relationships. To start, you need to tell everyone how you are truly feeling because your needs are as important as theirs!

Before jumping to conclusions, listen carefully to what others have to say. You might form an opinion about someone or something without having heard all the facts. Indeed have you considered any facts at all or are you just acting completely on a whim? You are restless and unwilling to settle down to normal routines. If possible go out of your way to add a touch of difference to the day.

Rather than suppress ideas that might sound silly, play with them. As thoughts take on a more solid form you will find there was a more practical element to them you had not previously noticed. A group you've been involved in might be disbanded due to a decrease in membership. Someone will question your views or beliefs this evening. Don't take it as an insult.

Today you are blessed with the happy knack of being able to say the right thing at the right time. You might mediate in a family dispute and because you're able to get everyone to see each other's point of view, many of the problems associated with strong emotions and poor communication are now easier to manage. The example you will be setting today is how to treat others as they want to be treated!

Family life will soon be back to normal you should be pleased to hear. If you have been entertaining live in guests who seem to have taken root in your home, a surprise announcement of their imminent departure will mean you can soon call your place your own again. Being able to come and go as you please without worrying about having to amuse visitors sounds blissful. Just hide your enthusiasm as you hand them their coats!
