You can't make someone out no matter how hard you try. You like to feel you have people sussed but this weekend friends act out of character and strangers give off mixed messages. The most likely solution would be to play them at their own game but this will only confuse things further.

Relationships are turbulent but you are reluctant to admit there is anything seriously wrong. Ignore the signs and you’ll give others the impression you don't really care when the reverse is actually true. Don't hide away from any crisis, face up to the problem and nip big trouble in the bud.

You can’t get rid of the sensation that your life is going nowhere. You feel as if you are stuck on a boat in mid ocean with nothing to do but reflect on the past and where you have come from. What you should be doing is looking ahead and paddling your own canoe to where you want to get to.

Correspondence relating to insurance, tax demands or legal affairs must be dealt with without delay. Keep on top of all officialdom over the weeks ahead to prevent them getting too tangled. Neptune is spinning a web of deceit and trickery making it difficult for you to sift fact from fiction.

An embarrassing situation leaves your emotions exposed for all to see. There is hurt or disappointment evident when someone fails to live up to your expectations but this is no bad thing. It gives you the motivation to start a fresh chapter in a relationship, but, this time, with your eyes open.

The accuracy of information, messages or e-mails received leave much to be desired and could waste you a hell of a lot of time. If anything you read sounds too good to be true, then it probably is. Chase after the carrot dangled in front of your nose and you might as well chase after a rainbow.

The chance to earn extra cash is not without hidden costs. Add it all up and the investment you put into any second string through time, labour and other sundries will hardly make the effort worthwhile. Be wise and recognise a con for what it is - someone else making money out of you.

A dark cloud hangs over your head making it hard for you to see the way forward. This dark sensation may have sprung from your past when a similar situation left you uneasy or helpless. Overcome any uncomfortable feelings by separating the present you from the person you used to be.

You insist on judging the world and the people in it from your own perspective and fail to see how you could ever be wrong. In believing you are right there is no need for painful analysis, but an aspect of your life IS out of joint and to get it back on track requires some honesty from you.

There is something you don’t have enough of and want more of, such as money, happiness, enjoyment and love. You are uncertain what you can do about it but a self-pitying attitude only brings further dissatisfaction. You won’t get what you want doing nothing so come on, get out and shake-up Fate.

Goals and ambitions seem suddenly so far out of reach that you wonder if you are ever going to realise them. You despair of getting what you want and speculate if you should bother. You have lapsed into the habit of expecting the worst when you should have more faith and belief in the fact that you are the best.

You are prone to taking the easy way out then blame others for your difficulties. Since, according to you, nothing is your fault, you cherish the illusion that life could be better if others were more understanding. Take a long, hard look and you’ll soon see that any faults lie within you.
