It would be wise to realise that plans being kept hush-hush will not be to everyone’s liking so prepare for some flak. If you are happy with things as they are then you can ride out the storm of protests given time. Don’t make changes just to keep others happy.

Rules and regulations where there are strict Dos and Don’ts are at the centre of big problems with authority. You’d like to do things your own way but it is just not possible so I would advise you to seriously think about what you’re getting into before you do.

Do you feel committed to something you wish you’d never got involved in? Someone may offer you a way out but there is a catch either in money or kind. Find out what strings are attached and then decide on whether it’s a price you’re willing to pay.

Depending upon how you look at it, unexpected incidents either brighten-up or botch-up your plans for the day. Flexibility from all side will help whereas pouting and sulking won’t. Watch the emotional barometer as moods are more unpredictable than ever.

Domestic projects appeal in an odd sort of way on this eclectic day. Although you want to experiment and stamp your individuality on a home-based job, someone objects bringing plans to a juddering halt. Discussion or permission will avoid a fracas.

A message received in a roundabout way or coming at you via a friend of a friend contains unexpected news. Forewarned is forearmed so be prepared for anything. A joint endeavour requires constant supervision to ensure it lives up to your personal expectations and specific requirements.

You’re sorely vexed with one side of your life which rebounds negatively on another part of it. Keep an eye on someone who plays on your exasperations in an effort to progress their own ambitions at your expense. Insist on being kept informed of all new developments.

For every step forward you take today, you’ll feel as if you’re taking two paces backwards. Domestic obligations interfere with your leisure time creating all sorts of friction in the family. Patience is required as little goes right the first time around.

The revival of a previous difficulty isn’t so alarming when you realise you’ve already dealt with something similar before. Put your past experiences into action to help you cope with a problem that will stump your rivals but not a venerable old Sadge like you.

Something you overhear gets you thinking about the life you live, the choices you’ve made and those you have yet to make. If you feel somewhere along the line you’ve taken a wrong road, then consider retracing your steps, as it’s never too late to be happy.

Folk who try and control your actions or whereabouts really get on your wick. Since it won’t be easy to bite your lip if you feel tied or restricted, you must decide whether to go the whole hog and leave or adopt a more conciliatory tone or lifestyle.

Recent hard graft and effort have led you nowhere and everything is on the point of going pear-shaped. You must decide to cut your losses and get out or carry on. Allowing more time for things to fall into place only gives a greater chance for it to fall apart.
