You will get more done if you keep a cool head. Getting angry or upset won't lead to anything constructive and emotions will influence your thinking despite your intention not to allow them to. You can and will win points with those in high places if you control your reactions. There's nothing more annoying than working with someone who is angry and resentful. So take a deep breath, count to ten and resist the urge to exaggerate if it seems everything's going wrong.

A team or person makes a fundamental error and this causes delays that have a knock on effect on other jobs and responsibilities. Work you are doing with others isn't quite coming together as planned or expected. There is not much you can do but go back to square one and start all over. When you look back you might realise you should have taken a more aggressive strategy. Next time when you see someone making a mistake, point it out immediately.

There is really no need to blow your own trumpet when your talents speak for themselves. You know you're good at what you do and if it's not enough to impress those who matter then it's their loss. Having a positive impact on a prominent person shouldn't be difficult when you've got a plan. Travel, work and friendship activities will all bring an equal amount of pleasure now. Just avoid discussing religion or politics when out with friends this evening.

Guard against saying too much about past events when talking to people. Bad memories could cause you to have a negative image of yourself as you remember the person you used to be. If you must discuss these events do so from a new and more positive perspective. You need to make an effort to identify these experiences as being past and gone. They can no longer rule your life and make you hard to motivate. You can't change the past but you can influence your future.

Business matters need careful handling when a colleague is in a touchy mood. You might sense someone is holding something back and until you're more aware of what you are up against, don't give too many of your own ideas away. The more inconspicuous you are during an important meeting, the more you will see from the sidelines. Besides, there's nothing more refreshing than a humble conversationalist; others are more willing to compromise if they feel they're being taken seriously.

If you're lying in bed every night wanting something special, will you ever find the experience to live up to that dream? A partner who does not share your vision isn't likely to understand your needs, eagerness or frustration. There may never be a perfect solution until you sit down and work out what you both want to do next. Can you make it work together? Your biggest challenge is to get someone you love through new doors.

You're starting to feel restricted by all the clutter around you; a good clear out will make you feel much better. Someone in the home or workplace has been collecting too much junk; it is time to throw out all the rubbish that has accumulated. Once you tackle the stacks of paper and other bits and pieces that are messing up your surroundings others will admit this opens up space around you to fill with new and better things.

You have conditioned yourself over the years to keep your emotions well under control. There is someone who needs to know how you feel. Spilling it all out at once isn't your style but gradually you might find yourself opening up to them and the more you do, the more you will realise how much they can be trusted. A platonic relationship could see a change for the better when an intense sensation of togetherness will culminate in romance if you are single.

A newcomer to your world is a great story teller; their company is intriguing and entertaining. Some awe inspiring stories being shared today could make you look at some events from a more spiritual or religious context. You also get to show your feelings through your creative talents. Someone seems to have found the right emotional switch to help you discover new reservoirs of mental and spiritual energy. Your interests are expanding.

How a situation develops remains to be seen but nothing will happen very quickly if you lose interest before it has begun. It is all about having the patience to get through a few teething problems and then you will be absolutely flying. Your thinking could be clouded by past disappointments or delusions whereas if you have the courage to stick at a challenge and see it through, you will discover you are capable of so much more than you imagined.

You're strongly tempted to do something random and irregular just to see a stuffy establishment figure's reaction! You won't do anything foolish but in giving someone a shock you are also letting them see there are different ways to look at the same situation. An impulsive act could be fortuitous for everyone and others will be glad of your quick thinking even if not all will admit it!

If you take the opinion that a proportion of plans made this morning could fall through, you will be prepared for anything. Some ideas are ambitious but this won't stop you from giving them a go. If a friend or colleague lacks faith in your plans you will be all the more determined to prove them wrong. What you really need is to express your creativity and to work to satisfy yourself rather than please those around you.
