Eleventh hour complications are the last thing you need. Instead of battling on alone, either delegate or ask for help! Even if you feel under pressure and as if there aren't enough hours in a day, avoid spending all of your time on the one task. There is room for new recruits in a team effort especially if they can bring in fresh ways of approaching the task. You don't have to do everything on your own.

Think about it carefully if you're offered a new job, new responsibilities in an existing employment or change of career. The idea appeals from the start but don't commit yourself until you've considered all implications. Work out how these compare with your existing status. It might also help to ask your boss or a senior colleague their opinion. The more information you get, the more likely it is you will make the right choice.

Ignore anyone who tells you it's not what but who you know that counts. Someone is envious of your success and they're looking for excuses as to why you are going up in the world while they are staying put. Rest assured it's your knowledge, skills and experience that combine to bring about your current run of success. Efforts you've made in the past to learn new skills, gain qualifications and improve your talents are now starting to serve you well.

Up ahead are a number of hurdles and you can't expect to agree with everyone. The real challenge lies in managing a difficult situation without allowing tempers to get out of control. It's essential to find compromise now, within a close relationship. Your ability to show a smiling face to the world will go a long way to help keep the peace. A loved one is in a constructive mood later in the day helping you get a better perspective on life.

Just because you and an old sparring partner have different views on certain subjects doesn't mean you can't be friends. You've always got on well in other areas. A competitor who was hoping to take advantage and play you one off against the other will discover you can't be manipulated in such a way. What you will do is agree to leave personal feelings out of a business arrangement. By the end of the day you will have gained a lot from making such adjustments.

You're working alongside someone who is the supreme optimist; you prefer to be more cautious. In business and finance, your practicality adds to your credibility. This is why you will not be swayed by anyone else's enthusiasm. A job offer could bring in a higher source of income but you want to know more. You don't mind taking on a new role but you need to determine what it is and how you will be rewarded for your efforts.

A loan is repaid or a grant, funding or allowance received. This is bound to lift your spirits. Even so there's a note of caution: watch your spending in the early afternoon hours. A moment's extravagance could have any bonus evaporating before you've got it in your hands! If some machinery you're working with breaks down or seems less efficient, before calling it a day get the opinion of an expert.

Completing an enormously challenging task is crucial to your future success. How you go about things may come as a surprise to some who thought they could predict your actions. You are throwing yourself, heart and soul, into this venture. What motivates you is the need to keep up the momentum as once you stop, you won't want to start again. A lot of what you hear will be highly entertaining even if it isn't entirely accurate.

It might seem like you're doing all the talking in a meeting, seminar or business convention. You wonder whether anyone is going to reveal their thoughts or do they expect you to keep coming up with all the answers? As the day progresses, compliments will start coming your way. A senior colleague will reveal information that by its very nature must be kept confidential. The fact they're confiding in you will show you have impressed others with your people skills and knowledge.

Start making useful inside contacts within large commercial organisations; such connections could transform your life. A private aim you'd like to fulfil deserves some close attention. You might also come to the rescue of a friend in difficulty. In work or anything dangerous or risky you're involved in, follow safety regulations. If you are single, a romantic proposition is likely to strike a chord. You won't see any reason to hold back from showing your interest.

The only way to get the truth out of someone is to break down their defences. Whether your interest in them is official, romantic or otherwise, patience and persistence will help you achieve your aim. Your efforts to boost your personal income should start to pay off now and it will be a relief to know your finances are on the road to recovery. Rules that have been in operation for decades are altered to meet changing trends.

A friend or loved one is bringing the thrifty side of their nature into play and refuses to condone a large purchase. Even if you don't like being told what to do and can't hide your disappointment, you know their objections make sense. A self imposed task within your own four walls will call for energy and concentration. This job won't need two people and a loved one may feel neglected and ignored.
