You're so concerned with the details of a problematic event you can't get an overall picture in your mind. This makes it hard for you to work out the whys and wherefores of the situation. A practical friend might suggest you aren't seeing the wood for the trees. Try to see things from a different perspective.

A friend or neighbour will try to make their problems yours. You won't want to get involved in anyone else's romantic or financial issues. If a workmate expects you to cover for them while they shirk their responsibilities, they are going to be disappointed. You're tired of doing all the work and you won't hold back your feelings.

Suddenly you are plunged into the first of a whole range of new activities. Your life has turned a sharp corner and this excites and inspires you. Socially you are more active. Community activities with a volunteer theme will bring you in touch with some new and interesting people.

You could put your foot in it when dealing with an older relative who is acting strangely. You're mentally and physically exhausted and this makes it hard to be patient with anyone who is behaving childishly. You could make things a whole lot worse for future problems if you say something that is taken the wrong way.

Ride it out and work through any difficulties. You will come out on the other side stronger. Don't over complicate things. If you're spending time with someone who confuses you with their way of thinking, take a step back. Calm your thoughts and this will bring you a greater sense of clarity.

Your strength lies in your ability to remain calm when the going gets tough. Your practical ideas will help solve a domestic dilemma. Life will always have its ups and downs but you won't give up. Challenges you are facing now will give you a chance to show others who you really are and what you are capable of.

Outside circumstances are starting to get you down. You might feel you have lost your true self due to all that has been going on around you. It's hard to feel inspired and motivated when life has been so restrictive. Whether it is reading a new novel, starting a creative project or learning to play a musical instrument, find something to get that curiosity within you pumping again.

Blockages can leave you feeling defeated or you could find the determination within to defeat them. It can be emotionally draining to feel stuck but there are ways to lift your energy. Try your best to remain in a positive frame of mind. You might do this by doing something new to keep your body and mind active.

You're a good listener and that's why friends call on you whenever they need some sensitive advice. You know what's needed to resolve a matter that is causing contention and yet you are holding back from taking action. It may be time to follow your own advice. Inspiration could come to you from out of nowhere.

Have faith in yourself. Don't dismiss your thoughts as being unrealistic or foolish. Play with ideas and develop them further. Share your thoughts with others and allow them to blossom and grow. Advice will be given from a trustworthy source. You will be encouraged to go after what you want.

Living in the past is holding you back. You can't change what has gone before. What you can change is your approach towards what is to come. Things may seem like they are at a standstill but this should not stop you from laying the foundations for a bright new future for yourself.

A small misunderstanding could cause a rift between you and a housemate. If you agree to disagree, this matter will soon be over with and it should not colour what ought to be a bright and cheerful day. It will pay to hold back any critical remarks both in the home and workplace. The more discreet you are, the better.
