Someone who is deliberately goading you is waiting for a reaction. They expect to see bitterness or anger. What will surprise them is the calm way you respond. The offer of doing them a favour will take them completely by surprise. This is your way to avoid being drawn into arguments.

You will find it hard to hide your frustration with an overly emotional relative or neighbour. You have heard the same complaints time and time again but they won't want to have this pointed out to them. Cost cutting measures need to be taken after receiving an unexpected bill.

Borrowing money or using a pawnbroker seems to be the only option now. It will feel like there is no other help out there but before getting further into debt talk to a national charity that offers practical help for people facing financial insecurity.

Timing is everything when it comes to shaking up the status quo. You support plans that are about to be submitted to a higher authority but if you get a sense that someone of influence will object to these ideas, keep them on ice for the time being.

There is plenty to keep you on your toes in professional or charity work for which you have taken on a leading role. Your pleasure, even so, will take on a more personal angle when an offer made to you will feel like a dream come true.

Strange and annoying developments in a team effort will give you plenty to criticise. An abuse of power makes you see someone in authority through very different eyes. Peers are thinking the same. By joining forces with like-minded others you will find a compromise to resolve the situation.

You shine when you are having fun. Your happiness enhances your charm and charisma, making you a popular member of the team. Big changes are happening on the social scene. These will please everyone. A happy atmosphere of friendship will be present.

You're working hard and yet seem to be making no progress. If you are self-employed and you've been making constant efforts to advertise your services, back off a little. Lots of small tasks merge into a big responsibility and you're tiring yourself running from one place to the next.

A fun-loving relative or neighbour will suggest you go away together soon on a fun-packed weekend break. You will enjoy letting someone else do all the planning. News of a financial boost will have you counting your chickens but best wait until they are hatched.

Take a friend with you on a business trip to make it more enjoyable. Launching a creative project provides an opportunity for you to showcase your talent. New commissions will be received. Praise for an accomplished piece of work will make your confidence soar. An exciting offer will change your future for the better.

Your ability to deal with problems calmly and with authority will earn the respect and admiration of others who have no idea of how to deal with some muddles. Sensitive matters are being discussed behind the scenes. A new business alliance is worth pursuing.

Adjustments are both necessary and desirable when it becomes clear a situation isn't working. There are other people to consider. A visit to relatives some distance away will be the result of a spontaneous decision. Conflict between relatives will inspire improvement.
