You are growing tired of hearing all about a friend or loved one's problems but don't do anything rash. If they did something positive about their troubles you would have more respect for them. You are inclined to walk away and leave them to it but this is just a fleeting response. Don't do anything to rock the relationship boat. Think about other people's feelings.

Rather than being the one who organises everything, why not let someone else take over for a change? It might be nice to simply take a step back and be looked after rather than doing the entertaining yourself. If a friend or family member makes it obvious they want to call the tune, smile and let them. You will quickly realise the relaxing benefits of allowing others to make all the arrangements.

If you are working and the usual methods aren't effective, you would do well to use your imagination. You might be travelling either on business or for pleasure. If you haven't made arrangements to get out and about over the weeks ahead, do so now. Aim to take a little company along too. This would be a great time for far flung journeys.

You may have recently held back from making a purchase, feeling something better would turn up. Today your instincts will prove to have been right. A blend of sensitivity and practicality stands you in good stead. Someone is depending on you to make decisions that affect more than just yourself. People know you will make a balanced appraisal of the situation.

You are strongly aware of and in tune with the feelings of those around you. The positive consequences are you know what to say and do to make people happy and put them at their ease. The bad news is: you could soak up an associate's negative feelings and depressed mood like a sponge absorbs water. For that reason, choose to mix with upbeat people today.

You can't help thinking about your job and other responsibilities. You know you could do with taking a day off to enjoy the more leisurely and relaxing side of life. However one or two matters are on your mind. Try discussing problems rather than keep them buried inside. Phone a colleague and they will be more than willing to provide you with the information or advice you need.

You will be doing all you can to foster a spirit of give and take in the environment around you. Family and social relationships will benefit from your calm and steady influence. If you are footloose and fancy free, you could feel a powerful rapport with someone you are introduced to at a social get together. Even if you weren't looking for love, this could be the start of a new romance!

Although household and everyday chores keep you in the same location for some time, aim to get out later. You need to break free from routine commitments or you will soon feel stifled and restricted. Tell others what you aim to do as someone would like to keep you company. It is a good day to investigate affordable ways of improving your domestic world.

A stubborn friend or relative needs a lesson in the benefits of flexibility. You might set an example by backing off in a heated discussion and either allow someone to have their own way or agree to differ. If you show how adaptable you can be, there is every likelihood other people will follow suit. Constant arguing is pointless. Compromise is more effective.

Money matters have been on your mind but it is time to take a break from examining and discussing finances. Loved ones support you in your ideas and you are succeeding in your efforts to instil common sense into your more extravagant house mates. Today, leave others to contemplate the wisdom of your suggestions but don't push too hard. Listen to someone when they tell you to chill out!

You feel a strong sense of purpose now; people are starting to sit up and take notice of you. This is a good time to discuss future possibilities and lay the foundations for personal plans. The sooner you reveal what is on your mind to others, the more likely you are to gain the backing you need to further your aims. There will be personal satisfaction through your current plans and ideas.

Make a point of being more than usually open in conversations; people feel you are hiding something from them. You might prefer to get on behind the scenes. This seems to conflict with the desires of a close friend or lover who wants to be at the hub of all that is going on. You might enjoy getting together with your more quiet pals at the moment!
