Even if it seems as if someone is being awkward or is deliberately obstructing family or financial plans, don't make a scene about it. It is entirely possible they know or suspect something that could have an impact on these arrangements in the future. Give them a chance to get to the truth before going ahead with a long-term agreement.

Someone will try to talk you out of plans you are making linked with business or finance. Your aim should be to steer a steady course. Stay with what's familiar and avoid risks of any kind. If you're tempted to cut corners, consider the possible long-term implications. Draw on your sensible side when making big decisions.

You have been wondering whether you should have been so resolute about your intentions regarding a legal or family matter. Something that occurs today will confirm you have been right to stand firm in your own opinions. This will come with a high degree of relief. You should have more faith in yourself.

A relative is struggling financially. You are doing what you can but you aren't immune to the rising cost of living yourself. You have electricity costs, fuel costs and other expenses to consider before being able to loan any money to others. It may be that a certain person is just going to have to change their behaviour.

Plans you've been keeping quiet about are about to be brought out into the open. You're prepared for the storm of protests coming your way as you know they aren't going to be to everyone's liking. They suit you and for that reason, you will stand your ground. It will be unnecessary to cover old ground yet again just to keep others happy.

You really could do without the extra duties or tasks being asked of you. If it's a boss or senior colleague who is making demands, you may have no choice but to get on with it. Taking over a workmate's responsibilities will be daunting but once you get used to the situation you will start to feel more confident.

Someone lacks skills that are needed if they are to turn their thoughts into reality. They will look to you to help out. Since you owe them a favour you might agree to sacrifice your own plans in order to help someone progress their ideas. When you see their gratitude you will be glad you did.

You have a few questions about how changes currently being discussed are going to affect your own life. Discuss your concerns with someone who is in a position to clarify such matters. Don't wait until you receive official confirmation of the changes that are to be implemented. If you have doubts or objections, voice them now.

Situations where there are strict rules and regulations are starting to make you feel stifled and restricted. You want the freedom to use your imagination and be creative. Whether in a work, study or social environment, you will not be discouraged from thinking for yourself. If people don't like your ideas, that's their problem, not yours.

There are a number of different ways to look at or see a problem. This includes an issue that's causing tension between you and a neighbour or colleague. Even if their views are at the opposite end of the spectrum to yours, be prepared to at least talk about it.

Someone you have helped out more than once in the past will bend over backwards to help you today. If you need any kind of assistance, all you have to do is ask. Talking is also a good outlet to emotions that have been bottled up inside. It isn't always healthy to brood and wonder in isolation, even if you prefer to be alone.

A situation of dead-lock is going to occur in the workplace if stubborn colleagues refuse to bend and accept that other people have other ways of doing things. You wish some people could be more flexible. Something you see one moment then it is gone another does not make any sense to you. You might wonder if your imagination is playing tricks on you.
