An old friend will put some interesting suggestions your way. They seem to know you well and the more you think about it, the more you will realise they seem to have a good idea of what is right for you. You're under no illusions about what you are about to let yourself in for. You enjoy a challenge.

People who seem overly aggressive will not be making a good impression on you. If they are hoping to influence you in some way they are going to be disappointed with your reaction. You will happily prefer to walk away and leave them to get on with whatever they are doing on their own.

It's all about having a sense of purpose. Choices you make will sound too adventurous to some people. You are prepared to do a lot of training before embarking on an adventure. It doesn't matter what others might say, you are choosing to live the life you want to live.

You could be thinking about buying a vehicle or an appliance for your home. This isn't something you will want to rush into as you hope to get value for your money. Challenges can be overcome. This is your chance to show others what you are made of.

Your recent efforts to persuade your partner or a close friend to join you in an exciting-sounding venture are starting to pay off. Now that they are showing some interest, you will want to find out more about how to make this happen.

An older colleague's disapproving comments are meant to intimidate you. Refuse to change your methods to win their approval. Stay cool and collected. If you're on the defensive all the time, your insecurities will start to show. Let others know you are not and will not be affected by their criticism.

Whether it is finances or a domestic matter that is causing problems, you will not feel you are getting the support you need from others who are involved. A partner or housemate is not in the best of moods and they will only give you half of their attention.

Shoptalk will be beneficial especially if you remain in the background. There is no need to comment or to join in every conversation. Just listen to what is being said and you will learn something to your benefit or hear news that will be useful for a partner to know.

Someone will mention something that makes you feel the confidentiality of certain business has been breached in some way. If you feel they are interfering in a matter that is none of their business don't let them get away with it even if you have to take this to a higher authority.

Your practical and organised approach to routine matters will help you make short work of anything that needs doing at work and in the home. This could inspire you to get started on other things planned for later in the year. If you have the time it makes sense to do these now.

Arguments are erupting in the workplace. If you are in a leadership role you will be doing all you can to contain this. Someone representing a small but important team will keep you informed of developments as they happen.

Your social life will start to improve if you accept an invitation to take part in a community project. Volunteer work is also a great way to meet new people and this will feed a need in you to help those who can't help themselves.
