Pay attention as you're easily distracted and could easily forget an important promise or appointment. Check on the accuracy of messages received before acting on them.

You're inspired to make something of your life after witnessing another person's success.

They may need to get what's bothering them out of their system but you aren't going to hang around listening especially if you don't share their views.

Even if you only feel half prepared for an opportunity you've been waiting for, get on with it anyway.

Make the most of plans to improve working efficiency; exploit any help available. If you're self employed you might expand or develop your business by bringing in some extra help and sharing expertise and knowledge. This is not a day for ignoring responsibilities. Doing so only means you're paying no notice to issues in need of your attention. These could get worse before they get better so sort them out now and stay on top of it all.

A short trip may be just what you need if stress or tension are causing you or someone close grief. Consider why you feel so aggravated with a state of affairs causing you more pain than pleasure. If it seems like you have no control and someone else is making all the decisions. Don't punish yourself for having made wrong choices. Instead look for ways to solve problems that won't sort themselves out without some positive intervention.
