A partner pulls out of a joint venture. Getting ahead doesn't seem quite so important now you know the enthusiasm isn't shared. You're reluctant to admit to hurt feelings but you're having to face some unpleasant truths. Wake up to the fact someone has been leading you on and building up expectations they had no intention of fulfilling. A big incident like this needs a lot of thought before you decide on your next move.

Watching a colleague take advantage of someone who is weak and vulnerable brings out your protective instincts. There is no way you can stand back and allow any kind of unfair treatment go on. If you need more power behind you before approaching a serious issue, the problem could be overcome with the help of a wise friend or organisation. Changes going on in your working environment have you thinking about the division of labour.

A surprise invitation will add a sparkle to your leisure hours these next few weeks. A new interest in neighbourhood affairs could seem to go a long way in compensating for some problems you're having at work. Where conditions become more satisfactory later in the day is when an older colleague comes up with a suggestion to bring a more peaceful spirit into the job environment. You're all for promoting harmony.

A housemate or colleague could put an end to a difficult situation by changing their behaviour. You're not necessarily convinced when someone makes promises or apologises for a past wrongdoing especially if they keep repeating the same mistakes over and over. All sorts of possibilities are going through your mind. Do you give them one more chance or do you carry out threats you've made in the past? Only you can decide.

Sudden events may be great for you but not so good for someone who's not enjoying today's little episodes. It all depends on where you're coming from and what your hopes happen to be. You're looking for a means to make your future more secure and the opportunity could fall into your lap today. Others who want more excitement and less predictability won't be so keen but no one's twisting their arm into making a firm commitment.

A young person winds themselves up over a matter so trivial they should be encouraged to forget it and let go. You might be asked to act as mediator between two warring parties when no one wants a contentious situation to continue. To squeeze this in could mean sacrificing your own plans for the day. Your spirits could flag at one point when it seems as if your efforts are getting nowhere but don't despair. People are taking notice and eventually you will get through to them.

A spirit of teamwork is evident in all your affairs. It's a great day for working with others rather than paddling your own canoe. There's a sense of urgency when an opportunity presents itself which has to be exploited immediately. The fact so many people are on the same wavelength and focused on a mutual goal will mean it's not at all difficult for you all to make progress. There's a sense of quiet rapport in a partnership.

You're doing your personal best but it isn't enough to keep some people happy. Someone who never praises but frequently criticises is hounding you with their nit picking remarks. Their disapproval of what you do is repeated and emphasised. It is clear now you aren't ever going to please them no matter how hard you try. If you're happy with your efforts that's what really matters. After all, who are they to constantly pull you down?

Things are finally starting to fall in your favour. If ever you were hoping for a Guardian Angel your wishes will be answered today. It's always risky to speculate but you sense some risks are going to work out in your favour. An enlightening experience makes you look at the world in a whole new way. Without any doubt what's happening now has a lot to do with your destiny.

A new work load is pushed onto your shoulders due to absenteeism or layoffs. Someone with questionable ethics could be trying to get you to do them a favour or lend them money. Don't be pressured into making promises you will not want to keep. Instead of making firm commitments, carry on as you've always been doing. Joint arrangements are subject to change this evening when another person is invited along.

A friend is driving you away with their impossible demands and constant criticism. Turning a blind eye to their exasperating behaviour is nigh on impossible; they won't seem to leave you alone. Ask them why they're disappointed in you or with a joint situation. If it isn't in your power to make it right, it's clear this relationship isn't working and it would be best for you both to go your separate ways.

Putting your finances in order is key if you're to make your future more secure. Starting a home based business is a possibility either as a full time job or a means to earn a little extra. Someone new who comes into your life today could remind you of an ex-lover. This could affect the way you behave with them. Instead of resenting their appearance, consider that they could be helpful and will be nothing like what you're expecting.
