Instead of flying into a futile rage when you are hit with problems, you will bring your innate resourcefulness into play. There's a degree of panic in the air when plans don't go as expected; it will be you who keeps everyone calm and sorts order out of chaos. In situations that call for instant decisions and action, you can stick your neck out and follow your hunches.

A joint effort holds masses of promise if you are prepared to go along with a partner's unusual suggestions. A flexible outlook is what's needed today. Take each moment as it comes without going into anything with preconceived ideas. You might find it difficult to vary your usual routines but what you learn about yourself from doing so will more than compensate for any inconvenience caused.

One way to remove the stress you are under is through encouraging discussion rather than argument. You might take the chance to switch to a more interesting field of endeavour despite the objections that come your way. If you must delegate responsibilities in order to make the most of opportunities before you now, do so. A change in working conditions will be challenging but stimulating too.

Trust your instincts if you feel someone is trying too hard to influence you. An important thing to bear in mind is you know better than anyone else, what makes you feel secure. Other people dish out free advice and try to persuade you against taking certain courses of action. You aren't being contrary by turning down ideas and suggestions. You are letting people see you have a mind of your own!

Worries about a family or domestic matter are likely to prove unfounded. It is entirely possible you are standing too close to the problem to see what is really going on. In order to gain a true perspective of what is genuine and what might be imaginary, you need to distance yourself from the situation. Why not discuss your uncertainties with a trustworthy friend?

Your job or new responsibilities could take you to unfamiliar places or areas you don't care much for. You feel you'd be better off giving some journeys a miss but there may be no choice but to get on with them. As might be imagined, you could have to cope with one or two tricky situations today. The thought is worse than the deed and the pressure will start to ease as time wears on.

You may be finding it difficult to make your intentions clear because of a faint feeling of inferiority. You know your own mind and you won't find it hard to make decisions. What will be difficult is letting people know what you are thinking. In money matters in particular, keep your wits about you. Don't go along with what's expected of you because you haven't the courage to say no.

Don't take anything at face value today; ask plenty of questions and check facts before acting on them. Feed your curiosity as you won't find out what you want to know by sitting back and doing nothing. You might sense someone is not to be trusted. Until you feel more certain about them, don't do anything that could effect your personal situation in the future.

Decisions made today will be based on your past experiences. It will be what you have learned in the past or beliefs instilled from older family members that guide you. Some matters need to be kept private and you must be discriminating about how much you tell others. Letting high ranking people in on your secrets and talking things through quietly with the family will be beneficial.

Expect to end the day feeling more content than when it began! A friend or colleague is keen to advise you but you don't want to know. You can't put faith in the inspired guesses of unqualified or inexperienced people. If anything, you would rather those around you paid attention to your ideas. By the end of the day, people will appreciate you for your sound judgement.

Escalating demands and new responsibilities keep you on the go from early in the morning. You could do with more time to yourself but this is difficult to arrange. A friend or colleague is trying to contact you with ideas that have nothing to do with business. Take note of their offer or you could miss out on a lively evening full of the type of entertainment you love most of all.

You can afford to be more trusting in your closest relationships; loved ones are sincere and honest with you. Advice from a relative you don't see often will help you resolve a personal worry. If you're single, someone of a different age, race or creed might ask you for a date. If you fancy them, go for it and you will discover love has no boundaries.
