If anything can go wrong today, it will do so before noon and it won’t even be half as catastrophic as you or someone else is making out. Your world takes on a rosy hue later in the day when developments in a romance or friendship will be more to your liking.

Is it someone else who is being perversely stubborn or are you the recalcitrant one? Maybe it’s six of one and half a dozen of the other, or could it be that you’re getting your kicks out of tormenting each other? It’ll all end in tears unless one of you gives in.

Sometimes you can get so fixated on the words and excited about the issues that you forget when to toe the line. You could put your foot in it, revealing something someone didn’t and still shouldn’t know about. Aim to stay mentally alert but emotionally detached.

Strange that you feel your ideas are practical and rational but others lack your vision. Maybe they hear what you’re saying loudly and clearly but don’t want to admit it as they stand to gain nothing. Credit it where it’s due and that’s with you today.

Are you rushing into things without stopping to count the cost? Projects are going well and you don’t want to throw a spanner in the works. But turn a blind eye to critical issues and you’ll run into unforeseen problems. Be responsible, if not for yourself, then at least for others.

Keep listening even if someone seems a little scattered in their thinking. Their comments might trigger off your mind revealing potential in the most unlikely suggestions. Joining forces with another is worthwhile if you both play to your individual strengths.

How do you reach a compromise in a career or partnership dispute that’s gone on too long? You simply let bygones be bygones and offer the sacred olive-branch. Do this and life will be far more peaceful. Compromise will make a big difference to a relationship.

If you didn’t get to bed ’until the wee small hours, it was more likely due to a lover’s tiff than a night out on the tiles. Today, it will be largely business concerns and home affairs that keep you occupied. You need something to keep your mind off depressing thoughts.

Your curiosity is tweaked enough that you might want to find out more after hearing a rumour about someone you know. What’s more, you could discover there’s no smoke without fire but now you know, to be fair, you must take their views on board before forming an opinion.

Someone could offer you some interesting advice or information but how reliable is it? How long have you known the source of the data? If it’s long enough to know when they’re telling the truth or lying, there’s no need to worry. If not you’d better keep an open mind.

A bout of insomnia may have something to do with money worries that seem to haunt you night and day. If you can’t do anything effective about it now, think of something else and seek out the company of friends. You need sensible people around you now and lots of them.

Thinking of setting up in business or making a fresh start in your career? If so, you’re getting close to the time when you must make that no-turning back decision. Don’t let nerves get the better of you and besides it’s better to jump before you’re pushed.
