Sometimes you get too intense over a situation that demands more lightness of touch. Your agenda isn’t the same as somebody elses. Therefore before you get het-up or take a sledgehammer to crack a walnut ask what’s a stake for you, what you’ve got to lose and frankly, if you care.

On one hand you find pleasure being with a friend who seems to hang on your every word, but be absolutely sure they are true to you. I suspect that someone you put your trust into could be feeding back information to a person who is no buddy of yours. A fifth-columnist is a mole in your midst.

There’s a need to get things straight between you and a partner or someone you live with. If, due to outside pressures and various other commitments, you’ve slipped into a more submissive role in a relationship, you must now take a more active part in joint decision making or lose control.

A restless mood causes nervous tension and because you’re emotional and physically vulnerable, watch your health too. Time spent alone helps recharge your mental batteries but watch your diet. You know what your weakness is but it could be the reason for your fatigue or lack of interest.

Many Leos love to be at the heart of a crowd and there’s no shortage of friends, Romans or countrymen to help fill your day and give you lots to think about. Too much of a good thing, however, can make your sick and what looked like a tempting proposition might well leave you with indigestion.

”One good turn deserves another”, someone is quick to tell you today but it’s all very well giving your all but what do you get back? Because you are the servant of the zodiac all too often you are willing to offer your talents or skills without thought of reward. Time to give less for free.

A child, whatever age - and some can be nine or ninety - tests your patience. The trouble is duty calls and although you’d do anything to get away from the responsibility, could you live with the guilt? Hardly, but if its any consolation there is social help out there you’ve barely touched.

Joint finances show signs of improvement when someone’s good fortune rubs off on you. Opportunities for expanding your personal income come in thick and fast. But don’t become so obsessed with the chance to enrich your finances that Providence doesn’t get a look-in to cement a close relationship.

Sulks or silence is worse than having someone yell, scream and tell you what’s on their mind. That’s how it is today: you could cut the atmosphere with a knife but how can you do anything about it if no-one tells you what’s causing the problem? Living with a dark horse has its drawbacks.

You won’t feel comfortable when somebody spills out their heart. You might wonder how you got into such a predicament. I’ll tell you by holding back your own feelings so much, the person concerned is merely reacting out of frustration as they don’t know where they stand. Time to tell them.

No matter how aggravated you are with a person who doesn’t go about things the way you do, don’t let your impatience show. You see if you don’t you’ll give the game away and reveal your Achilles Heel. Once you do that then they will know how to get under your skin later. Don’t get rattled.

During daylight hours, team work and joint effort bring better results than any attempt to do-it-yourself. This applies to your evening plans as well, when romance will positively flourish if you get out-and-about rather than rely solely on private forms of entertainment or staying at home.
