You could be seriously thinking about ending a friendship that is starting to get you down. What satisfaction can you possibly get out of a relationship with someone who relies on you so heavily you feel you can't breathe? They need to start standing on their own two feet for there to be more balance and harmony.

You might decide not to attend a group event when the thought of joining in makes you feel uncomfortable. Don't feel guilty about giving this a miss. Where you will find enjoyment is through a sporting or outside activity. Fresh air will help clear your mind. A little light exercise won't do you any harm either.

Someone you see regularly is reading more into a situation than is there. A confrontation with an authority figure need not cause too much inconvenience if everyone remains calm, civil and polite. If a business opportunity comes your way later in the day, it will be up to you to prove your worth.

Try not to be disappointed if something you had looked forward to falls short of your expectations. Now is a good time to do some serious thinking about the future. You have a strong sensation that change is on the way and despite a little disappointment today, you are about to step into an important phase in your life.

With a few things having gone wrong of late you might decide to stand back and take a detached view of our situation. There are a few areas that could do with some improvement. Even so it is essential you keep your thoughts and plans to yourself. If the wrong person gets to hear what you are thinking, they could object to your plans.

The more you question your decisions, your relationships and your actions, the more confused you will start to feel. A recent situation may have been approached better in a different way but looking back isn't going to change what has already been. Keep your eyes now on the road ahead.

Use your gumption and keep your wits about you in all situations involving other people. You might feel slightly resentful with a colleague who seems overly demanding. From their point of view they are just trying to find a way to express their individuality while still being part of a team.

New possibilities will soon be opening up for you. You need to fully understand the risks and benefits of a situation before making a big commitment. Plans being made in the workplace will happen quickly and this could take everyone by surprise. You suspect a lot has already been discussed and agreed on in the background.

You have no choice but to say no to a request made to you by a relative. You can't keep giving them a loan or helping out with their responsibilities. This isn't an odd occasion but a habit they have got into. Emotional turbulence in close relationships will soon settle but sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind.

An unexpected bonus or windfall will delight you or a partner. You can now indulge in an extravagant purchase without having to worry. You won't be scraping the bottom of the barrel to make ends meet next week. Social life is soaring to new heights although a friend who isn't feeling too good is missing out on this wonderfully busy time.

You might hear of a few local events that you have missed out on recently when catching up with all the gossip. Family, friends and even workmates all seem keen to stop to catch up on all that has been going on and a few events that are planned for the future will also come up in conversation.

Someone who usually keeps themselves to themselves will offer advice that helps tie up a few loose ends of a difficult project. You may not have envisaged spending the end of the day in the middle of a domestic concern but there will be an element of satisfaction related to your final accomplishment.
