You could be jamming yourself into a corner if you persist in continuing with something others don't like. People have their reasons for objecting even if you don't understand these. If the majority is against you, you can't expect to be able to get through to them. It is more likely they will gang up against you and for this reason it might be better to go with the flow. Push for your own preferences at the very end of the week when the Moon is in your sign.

Nurture yourself and don't think you don't deserve the occasional day off. Spend some time with family and friends; create space within your home for harmony, privacy and relaxation. Remember your mental and emotional health are as important as your physical well being. Pay attention to warning signs of possible ailments or exhaustion and organise it so you have a mental health day every so often to make sure your emotional needs are met.

You may be asked to stand in for a colleague for a couple of days; the experience could be useful. Don't worry too much about what to do about your other commitments. The fact of the matter is, there will be ways to cope and with the right attitude, you will find them. People will be impressed by your assertiveness and willingness to take the initiative. You're especially forward in the bedroom.

Whenever you get together with a certain person it ends up in a game of wits; be ready for others to change their tactics today. These kind of mind games are challenging and fun but what you have to gain and lose makes today's events more serious. Others are taking a very different line today and this could catch you unawares. It's just not possible to guess a competitor's moves beforehand. Even your usually strong intuition might let you down so stay alert!

The only thing predictable about today is: you just don't know what's going to happen next! In joint transactions, nothing seems easy and from a negotiating point of view differing opinions and outlooks cause contention. Someone is using their senior position as a means of getting their way; others who aren't as confident are playing into their hands. All the time you are aware of what's going on but it won't be easy to change things you aren't happy about.

Be careful about agreeing to a local project or exercise you've not had chance to really look into. Attend local exhibitions, talk to those in the know and give feedback about the features you like and don't like. A safety analysis of a site or location may be necessary before plans go any further. Be sure to chase every reasonable potential to make sure you don't miss anything or you will be annoyed you missed something you had the chance to find out but didn't.

There's an urgent need for you and a partner to get together to discuss your financial future. If you're worried about a situation and you're uncertain about how to make it right, ask a professional. Although you have done your best to be careful and cautious, it might still feel you're drowning in a sea of debt. An expert could explain some simple but effective ways to start getting on top of it all.

It's not easy to get into the swing of things if there are some miserable faces around you. You can think of a few places you'd rather be when current responsibilities are starting to be more a pain than a pleasure. You might get the impression a colleague isn't in the job for the love of it but is motivated purely by money and material objectives. You can understand this to a certain degree but you'd rather team up with people who enjoy what they do too.

Guard your words carefully today. Reveal all your feelings in a meaningful conversation and despite your honesty you may worry you've said too much. If words have already been spoken, there is nothing you can do to stop the consequences. Someone might see you in a new light as you try to prove your worthiness to be involved a heavily oversubscribed scheme. It will be a challenge but worth trying for.

A situation that makes you feel insecure may not be what it seems. It is entirely possible a state of affairs is only temporary and you are worrying over nothing. Resist the urge to drop important plans when something more urgent appears to come along. A project that is being launched or plans another person is making may not be acceptable to you and as you will discover, there are others with objections too.

You're annoyed about what happens today; it's worse when you find out the reason behind an error or accident. A full report of the incident will reveal details of a person's behaviour that should have been investigated long before now. You might be surprised you didn't pick up on the signals earlier but you cannot hold yourself accountable. Even if you're in a leadership position you can't be aware of what all others are doing all of the time.

You have quite a distance to go before you reach a special goal even if you can't wait to cross that line. A small achievement will bring congratulations your way but you aren't satisfied with this. You know you are capable of so much more. By way of checking progress, take a look around and consider how far you've come compared with others who started with similar aims. Don't you think you deserve a pat on the back?
