Extra work is being expected of you now with no mention of additional pay or remuneration. You feel duty bound to carry out obligations for your employer or you will be doing a colleague a favour without question. If this is not the first time others have imposed on your kindness, think about where it might lead. Before it gets into too much of a habit, think of a way to break the ritual.

Financial advice which comes from a seemingly reliable source could clash with another professional's recommendation. A long term deal or unexpected offer could have expensive strings attached. These will not be instantly noticeable. You could try a third expert but this may cause you further confusion. If possible, postpone financial decisions for a wee while.

An element of daydreaming creeps in today; do the plans you are making have a sound foundation? Your time may be taking up thinking about future possibilities but not all of these will be practical or realistic. A tough decision has to be made later. A situation is not to your liking but it will be made worse if you don't do anything definite to change things.

People seem helpful and ready to lend a hand but you might grow to resent their interference. You would do better to keep your personal plans to yourself. You will enjoy the comradeship of working as part of a team but when someone starts taking over you will resent this. If you are working on something important to you personally, it will be more satisfying in the long run to get on by yourself.

You could be struggling to cope with a professional project; to admit defeat will make you feel like a failure. You will not feel fully prepared for the challenges presented to you now. This will not stop you from giving anything you take on your best shot. An older colleague gives you some discreet advice. You will be glad of their quiet support.

Before you know it, someone's enthusiasm for new plans and arrangements will have rubbed off on you. You could find yourself involved in a physically and mentally demanding task. There is little chance to take a break and recharge your batteries. Accomplishment comes through sustained, steady effort. You won't be capable of doing anything too strenuous at the end of the day.

A big financial decision must be made; you feel bewildered and uncertain. Avoidance tactics will only delay the inevitable. Once you've looked into all aspects of the situation, get on with it and make a firm choice. Events today have you reflecting on the past and your future. You want to do the right thing and a sensible attitude will help you do so.

A partnership undergoes some difficulties; your views contrast greatly with someone else's. You don't want to be at crossed swords all of the time but you aren't in the mood to back down either. A compromise seems almost impossible when you are both as stubborn as the other. Just because you differ in some areas don't think you are totally incompatible.

You must be firm, forceful and assertive to achieve what you want in a job situation. You would prefer a positive working atmosphere but a colleague can't seem to get on without causing contention. Your sights are set on a specific career goal and you must exercise all your knowledge, skills and experience to get the results you are aiming for.

A new task or assignment will demand creativity, intelligence and determined effort. You are confident you can fulfil new obligations but it would be prudent to be cautious. You cannot, for instance, afford to take risks by being over confident and independent. A colleague's methods may be as valid and fruitful as yours. You might learn something through joining forces with another.

A desire to put down roots might be too strong to ignore or you may want to trace your family history. A recent incident has made you think more about home and family relations and what this all means to you. This is also a good time to sort out any squabbles in this area before they grow into something more serious.

You are happy to indulge in the usual social whirl but do you have too many irons in the fire? You are in demand and people in a group or club setting rely on you and are counting on your help. It is good to be needed but don't overreach yourself by taking on more than you can handle. There will be no fun or satisfaction in the long-term to find you are swimming in deep water.
