A group effort of a long-term nature is about to be launched. Family and close friends feature strongly in these plans. It may be to make money, it may be purely for pleasure but what's most important to you is the pleasure you are all going to get out of this. You have an important part to play.

Don't let your heart rule your head. Keep emotions under control. A situation is not going to be easy when it is all about sentiment and intense feelings. You're tuned into the mood around you and sense someone has had a change of heart about some arrangements.

A friend who normally hides their feelings and who rarely reveals what they are thinking, needs a shoulder to cry on. Be there for them when you sense they need you. Changes are needed in order to reach a current goal. People in your life who matter will offer their support.

Firm plans will be agreed and you will be taking the driving seat. Your energy and enthusiasm for new projects will inspire others into action. Even so, with everyone looking to you for guidance, you had not expected starting something new would demand so much effort from you.

You find it quite amusing that someone will complain they can't get a hold of you whenever they need you. People who have been demanding and needy of late are the ones you will be avoiding. Sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind and it will do them good to start making their own decisions and doing things for themselves.

The more you give the more others will take from you. You're doing too much without even thinking about it because your focus is on getting the job done. Some people aren't pulling their weight. They need to be made to do their share even if this means stepping back and leaving them to it.

Tread with care. You're considering the pros and cons of taking a new direction and because this will mean leaving something or someone behind, it's not going to be an easy decision. If you find yourself thinking about ending a current relationship, this will not be without some sadness.

You need to relax but you keep telling yourself you have too much to do. Even so, the idea of leaving some jobs for another day will be appealing. Pushing on and on will cause tension and stress-related illnesses. This can be avoided by taking the occasional day off.

You know someone is going to disapprove but you're thinking about buying something big and expensive. You just want to feel you're doing more than just paying bills with your hard earned money. Even so, listen to what others are saying or you could end up feeling you've wasted your money.

It is time someone developed more faith in themselves and was less reliant on you. Don't feel guilty about turning anyone away if they have a habit of expecting you to drop everything whenever they need you. An argument with a friend can be resolved. Extend an olive branch to put this relationship onto a better path.

A job you took on as a temporary measure shows no sign of being ended. It is too convenient for others to continue this situation as it is now. If these extra responsibilities are starting to get on top of you, there is no reason why they should not be returned to their rightful owners.

Make a list of priorities and tackle these items one by one. Don't expect to get everything you have to do finished by this evening. Enlist help if it looks as if someone is looking for something to do. A practical friend will give some good advice on how to cope with all you have to do.
