You need to be more assertive when you come up against someone in power. Even if you feel forced to speak your mind when dealing with someone you wouldn't normally stand up to, if the issue is important enough, you must go with your instincts. Others who feel the same as you may not have the confidence to speak out. Say your piece and in being true to yourself you could also make a difference to the lives of those who are around you.

You're increasingly keen to spend time with a certain someone; if they aren't around you can't stop thinking about them. Is this because you long to be near them or you're suspicious and doubtful about what they're up to whenever you're apart? If it's the latter, it is likely to be infatuation. To love someone, you won't be envious of the time they spend away from you. If they're happy, you should be happy too!

Keep a positive attitude no matter what occurs today. You've been doing a lot lately and feeling very pleased with yourself but a hurtful remark or challenging situation could burst your bubble. You don't want to become so discouraged you give in and wipe out all the hard work you've already put in. Any setback encountered will have a solution but to see it, you must remain watchful.

Some bad news will affect a friend more than you but you will be expected to provide a shoulder for them to cry on. Someone who has been having it surprisingly easy of late is abruptly reminded life isn't always trouble free. You might offer the support they need until they once again feel in charge of their own destiny. Arguments might develop at home this evening, over money.

One way to turn a tense situation into something less serious is to use your sense of humour. Being able to laugh at mistakes and accepting there will be problems in a group situation is the right attitude to take in a team effort. Encourage others to lighten up. Once you start you will see the change in atmosphere your efforts have made. Evening is a good time for planning a little home entertainment.

Joint matters, finances and future plans prey on your mind; it's difficult to relax your brain. Think about developing your ability to relax through a meditation practice. Practitioners of varying techniques are likely to offer courses in your area and your hardest decision will be to choose the one that best suits you. All things considered, any form of meditation will bring increased lightness and joy if you practice it daily.

Uncertainty manifests in a wide variety of ways: you might be defensive or suspicious about a situation or person. Before confronting anyone with your doubts, check they aren't all in your head. Your imagination could be playing tricks on you and to allow it to control you could in fact destroy a relationship or arrangement which is good for you. For this reason do your best to be thoughtful, careful and considerate.

Efforts made towards your professional and personal goals will be beyond criticism. In a joint matter, it might not be so easy to progress especially if you and a partner can't ever seem to agree. Be careful about offering too much in the way of advice to others as they might interpret this as criticism. Today it will probably be easier for you to leave others to cope with the consequences of their own actions.

You might suspect someone of having been dishonest with you but time will prove you wrong. For this reason don't be too quick to air your suspicions. If there are touchy subjects to discuss, choose your moment very carefully. It will become obvious someone s trying their best not to cause trouble and you should be keen to show them the same consideration.

Should someone close seem reluctant to reveal plans for the future, let the matter rest until a more suitable moment. Maybe they aren't certain themselves about what they're going to do so how can they be definite about their plans in front of you? If you feel someone is about to make a big mistake, keep your thoughts to yourself and don't panic. There is every likelihood the situation isn't as desperate as it first appears.

You're replaying mistakes from the past in your head and constantly beating yourself up about it, but why? If you really think about it, there are probably dozens of things that have gone well and yet you are allowing your thoughts to prey on a few minor mistakes. Failure is often an integral part of success. Take a risk and it could go either way. If something went wrong, you know not to repeat the same mistake again. Now focus on your successes!

At times you feel you are on the outskirts of life, looking in. Confident people push themselves forward to gain all the best opportunities while you hold back waiting for others to come to you. Contact with other people often leaves you feeling drained or inadequate. What you probably don't realise is many others feel the same way only they don't show it. To become more confident, work on what you are good at. Increase the odds of success and you will feel more happy and secure.
