If you get your way you will be spending as much time as possible finishing jobs already started. Emphasise the 'if' in this equation and you might not find it easy to stick to your intentions. During the latter half of the day your services will be in demand and someone wants to make use of your skills or specialised knowledge. It's unlikely you will get those irritating little jobs out of the way until later in the week!

It seems you can't agree with a partner or someone close on anything at the start of the day. Small differences escalate and before you know it, you aren't speaking to each other. It is entirely possible those around you have a few problems they won't talk about. A softly softly approach will make life more peaceful. Your sensitive mood will have its desired effect, leaving you with nothing to argue about!

A meeting with an old friend may be disappointing in that one of you has to rush away and you have no time to talk. Or it could be that the few hours you spend together will pass so quickly you will wish you had arranged to have more time with each other. Knowing you have lots of news to share should encourage you to make similar plans to meet up again in the near future.

It might not be as easy as you expected to muster up the energy and enthusiasm to put yourself into your usual work. Before even looking at it, you are well aware your agenda for the next few days is hectic. Somehow you must find the strength and confidence to get through some taxing commitments. The good news is: not everything will be as bad as you think!

You might feel inclined to pursue a course of action that does not fit in with the plans of those around you. Someone older or who is in a higher position than yourself could exaggerate their complaints out of all proportion. Rather than responding in a similar vein, keep a hold of your temper; deal with the situation in as diplomatic a way as possible. At least you will be taking a mature approach to affairs where others are being juvenile.

You're starting to feel as if you want more out of your life and your relationships. Be careful how you express your feelings or someone might think you're not happy with them any more. You want to make some sort of stand and bring about changes to add more excitement into your world. The more candid you are about your feelings, the more cooperation you will get from others.

You might prefer working in areas that require skill and concentration rather than anything too boisterous now. The latter half of the day will be quieter than the start even though there is no shortage of people around you. Earlier on others will want your views on this and that and can't seem to leave you alone for a minute. Later, you will get more time to yourself.

Discussions within a group may seem light hearted but some ideas will have greater consequences than expected. Once people have had time to think it will be realised some suggestions had more value than they were given credit for. You will do someone a great service by encouraging them to develop their ideas. Have confidence today in your intuitive notions.

You could make a dint in your usual workload if you make an effort today. You have an abundance of energy and you will mechanically get on with tasks you've done many times before. When it comes to jobs you're less familiar with you need to keep your wits about you. A lack of adequate preparation or care could cause you some embarrassment in the future.

In a group situation, you are getting on better with someone than you expected. You may have anticipated having problems with certain members of your team but they seem to be doing all they can to keep on your good side. Is there an ulterior motive behind someone's friendliness? Since you won't find out the answer today, why not just enjoy the chance to work in harmony while you can?

You could probably do with a short break although no one is taking you seriously when you make this a suggestion. For a few more days work and other important matters figure highly as a priority. This should not stop you from thumbing through travel brochures in your tea break or dreaming of what you plan to do in the future!

You might not feel like doing some work you have to do but once in the right mood, you won't be disappointed by your progress. Concentrate on your strengths today. You might not be up to anything too physical but your mind and imagination are your strong points now. You will feel inspired towards more adventurous and creative channels. These could help brighten and improve working efficiency.
