Taking an objective view of life can sometimes be refreshing. If you need to think about a personal situation or relationship, stand back and be impartial. This won't be easy in a day you are emotionally volatile! This could, without you realising, be clouding your vision. Take some time away from the situation and view things from a distance. You need to resolve a problem or issue that is suddenly thrown at you.

Events and changes taking place in your world could not have been envisaged or predicted. What occurs now will have taken everyone by surprise. You have your personal opinions and these may go against the views of others who are around you. Even if you come up against some strong opposition to your ideas you must stand firm.

A specialist or consultant could be brought in to help you develop new working projects. Although they may not be staying as long as you would like, you should make the most of what time you do spend together. Ask questions, watch, observe and take in as much as you can. It might be up to you to help or train your colleagues these next few weeks as a result of what you are learning now.

If you have recently loaned someone money, it will soon be repaid in full. Rather than put it in the bank, there are one or two things you're thinking of treating yourself to. Your conscience tells you to be sensible with your cash but you aren't listening. A part of you wants to give in to an extravagant whim. Your behaviour could shock a partner and other loved ones!

The burden of responsibilities in a personal or professional relationship is becoming too heavy. You aren't the only one who is feeling tense and uneasy. No longer can you allow some difficult arrangements to remain as they are. Chances are if you sit down with this person and talk, you should be able to settle your differences and come to a more workable solution.

Awkward people who go against your ideas and suggestions could cause you some stress and worry. Having to constantly prove yourself to others is mentally and emotionally exhausting. Taking up a new hobby or developing a creative pastime might help reduce stress. Join a group of fellow enthusiasts and another potential benefit will be all the new friends you are making.

Postponing important business meetings until another time would be better than rushing new proposals through. If you sense trouble brewing, a change of plans could help avoid an awkward confrontation. Where people are argumentative, difficult or uncooperative, don't feel you have to put up with their behaviour. They are the ones being unprofessional. Walking out and leaving them to calm down makes a big statement!

A business associate might put a few ideas to you and they're expecting a positive response. You feel guilty about your lack of enthusiasm. A controversial situation involving this person that was never satisfactorily concluded is holding you back. Don't prey on past arguments. Forget about what you're thinking and trust your instincts. This is a good time to specialise in areas that could bring future material gains.

Getting involved in a long term project could take you away from familiar places or faces. Loved ones may voice their objections. If something is important enough to you, you will find a way to cope with all future problems you envisage. Follow your instincts. These will lead you to where you are always happiest and that is on the road in pursuit of yet another exciting goal!

Think about your health; a busy lifestyle is starting to dilute your mental and physical resources. A change in diet may make a difference to how you feel particularly if you've not been eating healthily of late! If you are full of angst or you feel run down and lacking in energy take charge and delegate your responsibilities. Expect a strong reaction from someone who has been relying on you heavily of late.

Someone's indecision could cause a hold up if you're trying to work out travel or holiday arrangements. Taking charge and sorting out the details yourself could save you all a lot of time. Do listen carefully to what others say and make decisions with their needs and suggestions in mind. Overall, people will be glad to leave some matters up to you. Nothing will get done if they continue going round in circles!

You start seeing progress in both your career and home areas. This is all because of your willingness to be assertive and to push yourself a small degree more than usual. Recently, all that has been stopping you from going ahead with certain aims is others who have been trying to live your life for you. Today, you will rightly decide your life is your own. It is you who must make the decisions which are likely to affect your future.
