Refrain from saying anything if you feel someone is exposing too much about themselves than is wise. The more you try to discourage them, the more they seem to want to talk. Instinct should guide you as to when to keep your thoughts to yourself. Something is upsetting someone but you aren't in a position to help. You might need time to rethink your own feelings at the close of the day.

There will be no let up to a busy pace and going out of your way to help others seems to be getting you nowhere. Your desire to assist a colleague might be rejected or misinterpreted. You feel disheartened and tired and this makes the idea of finding a new job seem even more attractive. Grind your way through the work and leave important decisions for another time. Make a point too of having an early night and catching up on lost sleep.

Wishful thinking will get you nowhere and it's not a good idea to read more into a moment's flirtation than is intended. Equally, you should discourage someone from believing you're serious about developing a relationship if you're merely entertaining yourself in their company. Be sensible today and don't play with other people's feelings. A cautious approach in romance and spending is advisable.

You may have to reassess some future plans because of what is currently happening at home. Family life continues to bring pleasure and a situation you had been worried about turns out to be something you can easily take in your stride. Your participation in a community event or neighbourhood project this evening will raise your standing with local people. In all areas, you are more assertive than usual.

Pleasing results will be coming your way in areas where you have shown self discipline in the past. If recent circumstances prevented you from going ahead with certain plans, you will now realise this was a blessing in disguise. You've had the chance to carefully consider all options before taking dramatic action and today you will be making a far reaching decision. Whatever occurs as a result, there will be no regrets.

If you take on more than your share at work or in a group situation, don't let it become a habit. Let others know this isn't going to be a regular event. A friend comes up with a weird and utterly impractical idea; leave them to work it out for themselves. Before too long they will realise their scheme has too many potential pitfalls and they will eventually abandon the idea without a lot of fuss.

Err on the side of caution if you're faced with having to make an important decision. Lessons learned the hard way in the past should now stand you in good stead. You are more cautious about trusting people you hardly know and you won't be easily fooled. A friend's words or behaviour may give you cause for slight concern but it will turn out you picked up the wrong end of the stick.

Concentrate on your private life today; don't worry there will be ample chance to socialise over the weeks ahead. There are solid indications a long term goal will come a lengthy stride closer to realisation. The main risk facing you is the temptation to take on more than you can chew. The resulting turmoil could slow down your progress. As keen as you are to forge ahead, accept your limitations.

Today you will take the initiative and gain the help and attention of people whose support you require. Your mood is assertive and you make a good impression where it really counts. If someone seems disgruntled you will soon find out why. In a group or community venture, encourage critical discussion and forward thinking. This should have the desired effect and everyone's spirits will be boosted.

Your mood is ambitious but small and often seemingly inconsequential snags tend to slow you down. Don't give up; face up to anything that gets in your way and you will find a way to overcome problems. An experienced friend or colleague will know how to help and they will be incredibly supportive. There may not be any dramatic conquests but ideas can be put into action and you might expect your efforts to be modestly successful.

You feel inspired to chase long term hopes and ambitions with a new sense of determination. What sounded like a daunting prospect when it was first put to you, now doesn't seem so overwhelming. You are ready to take on an exciting challenge although you must wait before things start to move forward. This evening, a friend needs to be talked out of making a foolish mistake. Have patience and you will succeed.

If buying or selling property or looking for a new home, today's developments will bring some relief. You were perhaps about to give up, thinking nothing was ever going to happen. All of a sudden, you will get an offer for a house you're selling, or you will find somewhere suitable to live. Fate moves in mysterious ways and if something is meant to come about, one way or another, it will!
