You easily adapt to whatever comes your way today; friends and colleagues are supportive. A generally more serious attitude on your part helps you deal with difficulties in a quiet and calm way. The going may be tough at first but you might enjoy the challenges ahead. Because you are sitting firmly in the saddle, whatever your intention, you will succeed now.

Shared job commitments may be a source of conflict; you might crave more independence in this area. Although others won't always understand the way you feel, they will try to find a way to keep you happy. This will be a good lesson in sharing. If you are newly wed or new to a business partnership, an understanding will develop in time. To achieve this, keep the lines of communication open.

If you and a partner can't seem to agree, try taking a more objective view. It is not like you to allow emotions to interfere with your reasoning. You might not have realised there are aspects to a situation you hadn't thought about previously. If you have made a mistake it won't be hard to make amends. Plan something special and romantic for this evening!

You might start the day thinking everything is a case of 'swings and roundabouts' but that isn't so. As everything falls neatly into place this evening it will become clear there have been more gains this week, than losses. Although this is unlikely, if you do find you have time on your hands, this would be a good time for rounding off creative work rather than initiating new projects.

You might enjoy the company of a close friend when you share the same mood and frame of mind. If you're browsing around the shops, you could spot a few bargains you just can't resist. There is something ahead you haven't wanted to think about lately. In the evening talking over your plans for the future may help ease your mind. This leaves you more able to relax and you will sleep better too.

You might decide to take things more easily today; you want to forget all your worldly worries. There may be some chores you cannot ignore but you won't feel like rushing them. To round off the day, you might enjoy a quiet meal out with a close friend or lover. The overall relaxing and harmonious atmosphere could take on a more romantic tone later.

A quiet start to the day will give you the chance to catch up on some odds and ends. You might postpone plans which would have meant you'd be in for a busy time. If your boss is looking for volunteers to do some overtime, you will quickly find an excuse to leave the room! That said, there are plans for later in the day you will find to be unavoidable. By then you will be feeling more lively!

What you really want to do today is to lock your front door and barricade yourself from the world! All you yearn for is peace and quiet. If there are any urgent appointments and commitments, you will begrudge having to keep these. As a Scorpio you would never turn your back on your responsibilities; you just have to grin and bear the frustrations that come your way.

Curb any impatience you feel that inclines you to hurry conversations and jobs along. Cutting corners is not the way to handle your responsibilities. In work and friendship matters you need to be more subtle. Your irritation with someone's sluggish behaviour will only slow things down further. At least you will quickly forget the frustrations of the day when evening trends prove immensely entertaining!

A working relationship or friendship might seem strained; you feel someone is being unreasonable. Others might accuse you of being stubborn. Neither of you seem to be making an effort to sort this out. As a result you could end up arguing over the least little thing. By evening, you might decide enough's enough and you will make a conscious effort to talk things through.

A new romance might be hampered from the start due to the interference of a third party. A hobby or interest takes an interesting turn as a clever idea or a friend's help brings it nearer to completion. This is the extra incentive you've needed to focus on this pursuit until it is finished. The day could end on a romantic note when it turns out your partner has something interesting up their sleeve.

Bottling up your feelings may only lead to an outburst which will eventually cause more harm than good. You might be surprised at how understanding and receptive other people are once you bring your thoughts out into the open. A friend or loved one is not as insensitive as you have thought them to be lately. It is time you cleared up any misunderstandings and moved on.
