It will be clear to you that a rumour that reaches your ears has been started out of envy. Not everyone will realise this and your best course of action would be to ignore the gossip. If there are changes in the pipeline be ready to discuss these in more detail to appease a worried relative.

Someone is restless and is talking about arranging a journey. This will suit them but it might not be such a good idea for you. With so much on your plate already you aren't likely to be able to fit anything else in. As much as you would appreciate a change of scenery, responsibility gets in the way.

Spending time doing what you want to do will be rewarding. It will feel good to have more time on your hands than expected. Whether it is baking a cake, cooking a pot of soup or returning to a hobby you had to push aside due to other commitments, life is more enjoyable when you do something for yourself.

If you've been growing bored with your usual routines, accept a request to cover for someone who is away. Taking on their responsibilities will open up new options for you for the future. Keep your wits about you and let people see how capable you are.

In a group exercise, people will look to you to take on a leadership role. You may not have expected this and in order to encourage everyone to work together as a team you may have to tone down your own competitive instincts in favour of cooperation.

Take the chance to breathe a huge sigh of relief as you realise you have time to take a well-deserved break. The quieter the day, the better. As well as recharging your batteries, some time to yourself will enable you to reassess your priorities.

A youngster in the family has something to do that is making them nervous and anxious. They could do with some moral support. It will only take a few words of encouragement from you to make them feel less doubtful and more confident.

You have access to some unique information or confidential proceedings. This will give you a better idea of what's to come towards the end of the year. New schemes are being discussed. Some projects will essentially be trial and error but you are keen to give them a go.

A grant, loan or generous donation will help finance a volunteer scheme. A fundraising event will be more successful than anyone imagined. It will be fun to host a gathering of friends and relatives. Some unusual friendships will be formed during this get-together and people will thank you for bringing them together.

You're hoping your partner and others around you will respect your wishes to pursue your own needs. If you have a choice, you will turn your back on routine chores or persuade some nice person to do these for you so you can have some undisturbed time to work on a project that is dear to your heart.

Life is busy and crowded. People look to you to make social arrangements and keeping everyone happy isn't going to be easy. You may even start to wonder whether this is possible. Rather than worrying about it, exercise a little judgement and then take your chances.

A partner's behaviour at a public event will take you by surprise. Something is bothering them and you aren't sure what this is. Wait until you are in private before you talk to them and they are more likely to confide in you.
