A card, letter or video call from a distant relative will provide you with a welcome piece of news. Contact with foreigners and people some distance away will be surprisingly rewarding. You had been expecting problems in this respect. It will be a relief to find your doubts and uncertainties were unfounded.

You've been carrying other people's load for far too long. If you need help, make it clear you can't continue with all this responsibility on your own. This is not admitting failure. Workmates and housemates have been piling too much onto you recently.

You're determined to keep one step ahead of the rest. This competitive atmosphere is keeping you alert and active. As well as enjoying this chance to show others exactly what you are capable of, you might surprise yourself by achieving results that exceed your expectations.

Don't be surprised if you get a strong feeling that things are going to get better. Keep on the lookout for good opportunities. An unexpected lucky break could boost your income quite considerably. Channel your energy into creative pursuits. Soon you will be moving in a better life direction.

A job you take on that you expected to be difficult will turn out to be surprisingly easy. Or something you thought would be trouble-free will take more effort than expected. What makes today so unpredictable is that nothing seems to be predictable.

If you aren't able to get some time off during this busy season, at least make sure that everyone in the workplace is doing their fair share. Some people seem to be getting clever at shirking their responsibilities. Those in charge need to be made aware of this.

Problems crop up in conversations when agreements with friends and family cannot be reached. In the workplace, an instant answer to a question asked of you is not going to be on hand. Try turning your attention to less stressful concerns.

Things are starting to go your way which is a relief when there have been a few problems in some areas. Life is showing clear signs of improvement. Despite this you can't feel more than cautiously optimistic. At least it's a start.

A relative is about to make a decision that could backfire on them. You know they're rushing in without knowing all the facts but they don't want to hear this from you. If you interfere, they will seem even more determined to prove you wrong. All you can do is leave them to make their own mistakes and learn from them.

You can get a lot done and you will enjoy being busy but you will prefer to work with the minimum of company. Demands being made by your boss or the expectations of a relative are starting to interfere with your personal freedom.

Be careful who you share your thoughts with. Someone who doesn't seem to like seeing you succeed will do all in their power to block your progress. Be ready for a day of highs and lows. As enthusiastic as you might feel about new ideas, your energy will fizzle out incredibly quickly.

Someone who is fussy and finicky is complaining about everything you do. The harder you try to please them, the worse it gets. You just can't seem to get it right and you sometimes wonder why you even bother. All this tension is making you stressed and nervous.
