Your personality continues to shine almost visibly and you won't have any trouble persuading other people round to your way of thinking. This is a good day for promoting new ideas and advancing a personal scheme that has, up until now, been difficult to get off the ground. Group ties are strengthened as you share common interests and ideas. If out shopping, you could acquire an eye-catching item for your home or garden.

You could unintentionally lash out on a close friend or relative when they're only trying to offer you a few words of advice. If someone seems to think you're working too hard at the moment and that you should start relaxing more, it's because they care. Aggravations at home could be the result of your mind being on your job. Avoid snap judgements and keep the lines of communication open with loving ties.

Sport and leisure pursuits aren't just for fun this weekend. There's a competitive spirit in the air and you're in it to win. Don't get into conflict with an opponent as this will be an unwanted and unnecessary distraction. You should be quite pleased with today's accomplishments although if you do come out the victor, it will be by a narrow margin. You could receive a nice surprise from a romantic interest or family member, this evening.

Your living space might be getting a bit too crowded for your liking. Having free rein to get a refurbishment project underway fills you with inspiration, but don't take on contractors or decorators without a reference or estimate. You don't want to end up with a massive invoice for a bodge job. You want value for money. Hire someone you know you can trust.

If you're working today, a job complication could turn into an unpleasant situation. You might have a tendency to exaggerate your employment cares and woes but you aren't likely to gain much sympathy from your loved ones. Instead, once you do get home, avoid spoiling an easy-going atmosphere with a negative attitude. Push work problems out of your mind and enjoy the company of your family.

If you are typical of your sign, you are ambitious for your family and you set high standards at home. Today will be rewarding for domestic projects, DIY or planning a house move. Getting the green light for a family project feels like everything in your garden is rosy. You might plan a small celebration but an older relative may be awkward and refuses to attend. It might take them a little time to get used to new ideas.

Someone you live with makes a special announcement and there may be a new arrival in the family, either a baby or an in-law. Happy events side track you and it's unlikely you will be getting on with your usual weekend chores. The day could turn out to be topsy-turvy and a very emotional one too. Domestic matters prosper and whether single or attached, romance should be thrilling.

A persistent neighbour needs your help and will persuade you to turn your back on domestic obligations if you let them get away with it. Since they have their own interests at heart, not yours, maybe you should remind yourself that charity begins at home. Household chores are starting to pile up and the longer you ignore them, the worse it's going to get. Why not clear the decks today so you can spend tomorrow relaxing?

If you share land with a neighbour, there may be some slight dispute over who is responsible for what. Do your best to soft-pedal discrepancies. Conversations with others and mental interests are highlighted and if you use your imagination, you will find ways around any problems. Your ideas are clever and inspirational but it could take more than a little persuasion to gain the feedback you desire.

Don't be ashamed of giving in to the urge to splurge, especially if you're buying some splendid items for your home. The truth is, you have worked hard for your money and it's up to you on how to spend it. Remind any judgemental members of the family of this fact. As long as you've put in your share towards household expenses, what you do with your spare cash is up to you. Anyway, it's not as if they don't stand to benefit!

Meeting up with a new neighbour offers opportunity for a wonderful exchange of ideas. An envious friend tries to spoil your good mood, don't let them. Perhaps there's some sexual attraction at the root of this dissension. You may fall behind with housework or garden chores but so what? If you have met someone who is responsive to your ideas, go out of your way to enjoy their company. This could be the start of a fulfilling friendship.

You could be surprised at the consequences of acting on a personal hunch. At home, there's an undercurrent of tension but if someone won't tell you what's on their mind, they can hardly expect you to understand them. Your intention to spend quality time with your special someone may not turn out as expected. However, a quiet talk with a close friend or relative, this evening, will be uplifting.
