If lately all sorts of problems have prevented you from carrying out your plans, you are determined now to take action. Linked with your decision to activate your goals, your popularity among friends or at work seems to soar. To make the going easier, you should think about delegating responsibilities. Associates and partners are keen to participate; be sure to use this to your advantage.

Your mind is geared to detail today; you will be surprised at what you notice because of this. Solutions to career and financial problems could come to you more easily when you pay attention to the finer points. If an out of town trip is planned you would do better to make an early start. This way you will find the time you need later to attend to trivial but time consuming concerns that can no longer be overlooked.

Take the chance to clear the decks for busier times ahead. An academic or work project will be the focus of your attention. A colleague or fellow student will have a few words of advice to offer. Another person's kindness has fortunate consequences for you. There is a hint of an interesting new work assignment or job offer coming your way. Be ready to give an immediate answer.

Resolve to remain dignified even when your self-confidence is nowhere to be found. A problem or knock back affects you more than you would care to admit and your confidence all too easily melts into obscurity. If you are feeling nervous about a test, examination or interview, give yourself a good talking to. Don't let nerves get the better of you and relax whenever possible.

Housemates are unusually helpful and there will be no trouble catching up on household chores with everyone willing to lend a helping hand. At work, a colleague helps you develop new business tactics. Someone can't do enough for you today and this may make you curious. Try not to let your suspicions show. Perhaps they really do want to help you with no ulterior motive!

Some of your time today will be spent in thought and decision making. You might feel uncertain about a proposal that has recently been put to you. Or you may have a decision to make concerning the future of an elderly relative. You need time to mull things over. Are you looking too deeply into things? Try to curb your emotions and be as practical as possible.

Your artistic advice will be sought; think before you speak as someone has already made a choice. If you agree with their opinion then say so. It could be your idea of good taste is completely the opposite to theirs. In which case try to get your point across subtly without hurting their feelings. Avoid conflicts too about what is and is not value for money because again you and another seem to have totally different views.

You might need some guidance on a matter that should be given some urgent attention. Consult someone who has dealt with a similar situation before relying on people who are inexperienced. Take the whole affair in your stride, use your common sense and everything should work out as you want it to. Don't let nervousness about doing something you have never done before interfere with getting the work done.

Any free time you have today will be best spent in solo activities. This does not mean you should be a loner, but you will enjoy a degree of independence while you get the chance. If you spend a lot of time with other people, it will be even more important to allocate an hour or two for your personal interests or you might feel as if you're starting to lose touch with your own needs and desires.

Don't waste all your energy in conflicts that arise today. Although you are strong in your views, it sometimes pays to hold back your opinions. You could find cunning and cleverness will be needed to pitch against an equally strong adversary. Steer clear of confrontation and be civil even when you don't feel like being polite. Your charm will help you achieve your objectives.

No matter how hard you try you can't seem to keep a friend or colleague happy. Everything you do is wrong and their criticism will make you nervous. You might start questioning the situation and looking for reasons why you are going through this aggravation. Try reading between the lines and you might realise they are feeling inadequate, alone or neglected.

You might seek to widen your social sphere in your desire to experience life more fully. A new friend will influence your thinking on travel and study, both of which will serve to broaden your outlook. Some out of town business could lead to you accepting a spontaneous offer. If you're single, your confidence and self assurance stands you in good stead if you are trying to attract someone's romantic interest!
