Try to remember all work and no play makes life dull and monotonous. A loved one means well when they suggest you get out of the house and away from routine. Stop thinking of the dozens of things you have to do, put duty on hold and go along with their ideas. A short break will be refreshing. You might even come up with a solution to a domestic problem.

You know your own mind and no one will be left in any doubt about your views, feelings and intentions. Whether you are at work or at home, bothersome situations will melt away. All because of your single minded determination to focus on the job in hand. No one will distract you from your aims. You will get on quietly on your own and despite what others might think, nothing is a major drama.

A social function gives you the chance to keep in touch with friends, relatives and neighbours you haven't seen in ages. You may have felt inclined to turn down an offer or invitation; you will be glad you changed your mind. In romance, there is a strong desire to please your partner more than usual. A musical or artistic event this evening is worth investigating. In fact, opt for any suggestion to get you out of the house.

Your emotions are slightly erratic and your mood is variable. As a result, you might prefer to take things as they come. Avoid making too many firm plans. A neighbour or workmate can't see your point of view on one or two matters; don't think this puts your relationship under threat. At the close of the day, take the chance to talk with a close friend who knows you well.

Today you and those you live with will be considering ways to make the home base safe and more secure. While you're at it, check all insurance policies are up to date. A friend or relative will insist on giving their time and expertise to a domestic matter. You might be feeling the teeniest bit guilty some things were allowed to get out of hand. This will be rectified by this evening.

Who wants to be tied to the kitchen sink when you could be out enjoying yourself with friends? The thought of travel appeals; follow your inclinations in this direction. A change of scene and a change of climate will benefit your health and emotional well being. If a partner is involved, you will secretly love the idea of a romantic holiday!

Don't worry if there is a lot to do in what seems to be a short space of time. Plenty of help is available whenever you might need it. You may need to spend time discussing a joint financial matter. Don't put this off as you are tempted to do! A visitor or visiting, this evening, will be more fun than expected 'though you won't see your bed until much later than usual!

If you're one of a twosome, devote time, attention and affection to your partner and the bond between you will grow closer. A long cherished romantic dream stands every chance of coming true. Single? A platonic relationship could take on a romantic tone. You are getting on well with someone who is creatively inclined and an unexpected romantic gesture could swing this relationship onto a new and more loving track.

Leisure, pleasure and relaxation are your three favourite words today. If you do manage to while away the hours in such a relaxing way, you will feel the benefit. There is no reason why work and other responsibilities should rule your life. With this in mind make it a day for yourself. Even if you are out with the family or visiting friends you will reap the rewards of a bit of time out.

Now is the time to let people in on your feelings. If someone is starting to mean a lot to you, tell them! A friend or loved one may feel sometimes you take them for granted. Maybe you have been critical of them recently and now they need some reassurance. Just by letting your feelings show, a relationship which has been slightly tense of late will be enhanced.

Something is on your mind, you need to think and you won't be happy far away from familiar surroundings. You might even alter arrangements to give you a bit more time to yourself. The need to clear up a few matters with a friend or partner is uppermost in your mind. If you feel you have not been giving someone close enough attention lately, you will make up for this, today.

A neighbourhood issue is highlighted; a relaxing chat could turn into something of a heated debate! You won't be in the mood for an argument but someone is taking the opportunity to get a few things off their chest. It won't be easy to keep things harmonious even so you will try. When it becomes apparent you aren't going to rise to the bait, your wish for peace will be respected.
