Accepting a senior colleague's decision may seem like an almost automatic response even when they reject your ideas and suggestions. Once you've thought about it, you will think of other ways to get them to appreciate the potential in your ideas. It doesn't make you selfish to look after your own interests.

A neighbour will share information that should have been kept a secret. You can understand why as they need your advice. Once you realise this you will reassure them that whatever has been said will go no further. Where there is risk, an impulsive friend needs to be persuaded that there should be more caution than care.

How you use your skills and knowledge will reflect on the way other people see you. If you get a chance to showcase your talents in a workplace situation, do so. An older relative is feeling neglected but if you think they are being too demanding, it might be better not to voice your thoughts.

Trying to rush decisions to overcome hurdles or setbacks will not resolve anything. Take your time in negotiations where the stakes are high. If someone you need to speak to isn't available, use this to your advantage. Consult others for their views. Do some research of your own.

You can't keep skirting around issues that are causing you unhappiness. Problems to do with finance and family will drag on interminably unless you do something about it. Get together with your family and discuss possible arrangements that will suit you all or walk away from a situation that is going nowhere.

You like to see the good in everyone. Even so you are sensible too and you're wondering whether your assessment of someone who is new to your life is reliable. If you're single and longing for love, heed the small worry at the back of your mind that you may be giving your heart away to the wrong person.

You aren't causing a scandal if you feel you must go against what others decide to do. Go with what feels right for the situation and for the good of the majority. Are you allowing concern about your reputation to stop you from following your instincts? Being happy with your decisions and what you do is more important.

Nothing is as predictable as a professional is making it out to be. Their surprise by the way events unfold will prove this. Read terms and conditions thoroughly before agreeing to anything important. Double check official documentation. It would be easier if transactions were straightforward but some are complex and complicated.

The person you are at home sometimes feels very different to who you are at work. You find it easier to stand up for yourself, professionally and in the workplace you gain more respect when at home there is someone who seems to always know how to get around you.

A secret will be revealed. Although this will need to be discussed and you will soon find out how this might affect your future, there will be a degree of relief in getting it out in the open. The past has caught up with you sooner than expected or anticipated.

The more careful and cautious your approach, the less likely you are to make mistakes. Whether you are trying to get your head around new work procedures or a difficult study assignment is immaterial. What's important is that you take your time. Ask for an extension if you feel you won't be able to make a deadline.

Insisting on getting your own way is likely to get you on the wrong side of a loved one. Is the issue important enough for you to cause ructions in the home? If you would prefer to avoid an argument it might be easier to divert attention to other areas and deal with this one on your own.
