Over the next few days you may feel as if you're being pulled in varying directions. Every job you have to do and every person you need to see is important. Even so it will be impossible to do everything right away. You will find it easier to focus on one thing at a time. Forget about the rest until you move on to the next job on your list. At least then you will feel as if you're getting somewhere!

People are relying on your organisational skills only you don't feel very practical or organised today! You're running around in circles getting nowhere! This has a lot to do with the fact you haven't a moment to call your own and you can't hear yourself think! Try to steer clear of those who want answers or replies to important concerns and questions. This is not a day to rush into anything.

A number of additional responsibilities are about to come your way and you have been given adequate warning. Sit back and wait for the tide of hard work to strike; it will engulf you but you only have yourself to blame if you find it hard to cope. Instead, think of ways to ease your burdens. Take the chance to plan ahead. Clear a few loose ends out of the way so you're more able to manage your time over the next few days.

There should be no need for competition within a group if you are all working towards a mutual goal. Everyone taking part will have their own skills and experience to contribute and each person deserves equal respect. Tension could be the result of someone sulking or acting in a way that is not likely to benefit a team effort. It is entirely possible you may have to take on more responsibility if you are to help promote a spirit of harmony and cooperation.

Be tactful about a financial or business matter. Don't let others impose on you but at the same time: make your wishes known. If you want a partner to ease up on their spending or if you're doing a colleague's share of the work, this is not the day to make too much of an issue over it. Gentle hints are your best tactic. By the end of the week, your quiet persistence will start having the desired affect!

Ask yourself: when was the last time you did something just for you? You don't begrudge all the attention you are giving to a close friend or partner but have you been worrying so much about others you've forgotten about yourself? If you have young children, a full time job and other commitments it might seem impossible to get any quality time with yourself. Time alone will help raise your consciousness and heal any emotional unease you've recently been feeling.

You might find it helpful to talk about and anticipate a coming event in the days that precede it. The more organised and in control you feel, the more at ease you will be on the day. Some discussions will focus on another person's thoughts and feelings. In realising other people share your hopes and even your worries, you should be able to arrange everything beforehand to offset any potential problems.

While you're feeling energetic, get on with tasks currently waiting completion which need physical stamina and willpower! You need to exercise your muscles today and to direct your vigour into something positive and worthwhile. Take up a challenge that tests your physical strength and mental resolution. Or aim your high spirits towards your more aspiring goals as this is an ideal time to take the initiative with regard to such plans.

Meetings and short trips could take a lot longer than normal as conversations will be apt to run away with you! Although there are pressing professional concerns in need of your attention, you may not have the time to deal with it all today. If it's possible to delegate, do so. Headaches are likely to be caused by stress; conflicts between work and personal life are starting to bother you.

People with useful contacts or those who have access to certain information are the types you are mixing with today. There is nothing underhand about your intentions: you're just putting your intelligence to good use. You realise that in order to further an aim, you need the help of someone in the know. Currently, you're witty, wise, efficient and personable and others will be happy to do your bidding.

Be on the alert these next few days as unanticipated disruptions could delay or postpone joint plans and arrangements. Frustrating hindrances might also interfere with the general routine matters of the day. Having to cancel appointments and not having time to reply to important communications could lead to missed opportunities if you fail to take note of the events happening around you now.

Help and support others are willing to offer gives you the confidence to take up a variety of new challenges. You might actually enjoy a social or business event without the anxiety you normally feel on these occasions. An incident you would normally have been dreading will be dealt with calmly, efficiently and with surprising ease. The warm glow of success will banish any thoughts of fatigue, this evening!
