Pretending that you know more about a subject or aspect of a new job than you do might only land you in hot water. What's wrong with admitting that your knowledge in certain areas is lacking? Show a willingness to learn and people who matter will admire your honesty. And in all areas, be sure you understand exactly what's being expected of you, before jumping in.

Don't spend too long worrying if someone seems harsh or insensitive. You can't help wondering whether it's because of something you've said or done, but that's unlikely to be the case. The people you're mixing with today, have troubles or concerns that they won't want to talk about. Their problems will be reflected in their behaviour which is understandable. Best thing you can do is, nothing.

You won't be impressed by someone who's constantly bragging about the value of their possessions or size of their bank account. You have to give them credit for trying but if someone's trying to wheedle their way into your life, they need to grab your attention in more interesting ways. As a Gemini, you're turned on by ideas, not wealth or riches.

Plans being made for a long-distance trip will give you something exciting to anticipate. If single, widening your social and business horizons will also be a way of meeting new people. A colleague wants to introduce you to someone and this could be the start of a fulfilling relationship. If attached and there's a communication problem between you and your partner, try a little tenderness, this evening.

Someone seems to worship the ground you walk on and therefore, you feel you can't put a foot wrong. They have put you on a pedestal and although you will be secretly amused by this, their adoring behaviour is starting to wear thin. How can you be yourself when you're being watched all the time? Maybe a small mistake or two will do the trick. Prove that you aren't the person they imagine you to be.

Work is not the be-all and end-all of your existence. A sense of duty ties you to the job that you do, whether or not, there's any satisfaction in it. But if your career doesn't give you any personal fulfilment, why not find other ways to express your creativity? Take up a new hobby: art, model-making, restoring furniture. Give your creative side an outlet and exercise your imagination.

A partner has a fabulous idea, you're eager to spring into action, but unless you stop and think about what you're doing, your enthusiasm will be in vain. Don't let impetuosity get in the way of common sense. If looking for a gift for an Aquarius friend, shop around and you could find something unusual that will both amuse and delight.

A boss or superior will offer advice that comes from the benefit of their experience, whether you like it or not. You might feel their ideas are a wee bit old-fashioned and you know there are other ways of looking at the same issue, but they won't want to hear. A humble attitude will keep you in their good books. Let others have their say; it makes them feel useful. Once they've turned their back, go your own way.

Don't get stroppy when you're offered the chance to get something off your chest. Someone who hasn't been entirely fair with you in the past seems to be changing their tune. With them being friendlier than usual, it will be easier to communicate your needs and feelings. You might be amazed to hear that your attitude made them feel a bit uncomfortable and uncertain too.

An opportunity sounds too good to miss but don't take up a challenging new project without costing it out first. If single, why deny the feelings you have for someone who is starting to mean a lot to you? For a relationship that's free from complications and misunderstandings, start as you mean to go on. Be honest with each other.

Be sensible when someone makes an unreasonable request and don't be goaded into impatience or imprudence. Unlike you, a boss or superior does not perceive the demands they make of you as being unfair or discriminating. This Friday 13th, lie low. You're best off biting your lips and waiting for a better opportunity to prove your point.

Your need for privacy continues to be paramount. You may therefore be forced to assert yourself when a friend or neighbour starts getting a bit too close for comfort. Quiet time on your own is difficult enough to find without people phoning you or dropping in on you whenever the mood takes them. For your own peace of mind, let them know that you do have a life of your own.
