Make the most of the obliging atmosphere around you, while you can. What's wrong with embarking on a public relations exercise while carrying out the job that you do or while mixing with individuals who could be useful to you in the future? Leave your number with those who impress you most. Someone might tease you about your methods but it's a good day to sell yourself.

You were born under one of the most determined signs, so you should know more than anyone else, that the secret to success is perseverance. You aren't going to do well if you give up, or lose your temper, at the first hurdle. Something or someone today makes you feel insecure but this situation will only be temporary. You could get a lot done by keeping a cool head.

A loving relationship or new friendship is taking up more time and demanding more commitment than you're willing to give. You need more freedom to pursue a long-held vision. If this includes travel, an adult education course or a move to a place you've always wanted to be, you want to initiate proceedings, while the going's good. Otherwise you might forever miss out on the opportunity.

A legal or financial arrangement is now entering the final stages and you can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Soon, you will push aside those matters that have kept you busy lately and there'll be more chance to follow your own preferences. You might feel you're due a holiday, a career change or you just want to learn something new. Further information will help you make your choice.

It's not like you to feel uncertain but a meeting leaves you wondering just what kind of impression you've made on others, today. Maybe you feel you've gone overboard in your efforts to impress a prominent person and you've done exactly the opposite. If and when you meet again, all you can do is apologise for your extreme behaviour and try to be yourself.

Colleagues who have always been lavish with their praise suddenly seem to have lost interest. This makes you question the quality of your work. . Whether it's your job or some voluntary work you do on a regular basis, don't get too disheartened with their seeming lack of appreciation. These people are grateful. It's just they can't keep telling you so without starting to sound like a broken record.

Your partner's trying to tell you something, they can't find the words but you're starting to read between the lines. You could make it easier for them by putting words into their mouths but is this wise? Once you've kicked off a difficult conversation, you're giving others the opening to do or say something you won't be happy about. Maybe you should keep your mouth shut too.

If given the choice between mixing with people who tend to be rowdy or remaining within the quiet confines of your home, you would probably chose the latter. You aren't in the mood to deal with attention seekers who are so loud and boisterous that no-one else gets a look in. Sometimes, you can tolerate their behaviour, but not today. In which case, follow your instincts.

It's not a good idea to turn down a social invitation, especially when your attendance might improve your social status or career prospects. Being on your best behaviour and pasting on a smile may leave you with a headache but that's a small price to pay for the possible rewards. And when a prominent person gets in touch, you will know the effort was worth it.

If you find yourself at a loose-end, you could always extend a helping hand to others. You may be on top of your routines but others aren't so well organised or lucky. If someone's struggling through a mound of chores, offer to take some of their load. If single you might get another chance at a relationship where you thought the door had closed forever.

Past persistent efforts now pay off. You're starting to make your mark and you will impress those who matter. Some jealous types, however, can't hide their envy. Their malicious remarks are intended to humiliate but that's only because you happen to be in the place they want to be. At least you're sensible enough to ignore anything or anyone who's not helping you in any way.

Did you, I wonder, take my advice, yesterday? If not, I can only reiterate: the reason why you've not achieved your goals is because you've wasted too much time harbouring negative thought patterns and given too little time to exploiting your assets. You have talents you could be making positive use of. Don't let them go to waste.
