Locking down and not telling anyone what is going on is not a good way to deal with disappointment or thoughts of failure. It can be hard to vocalise what is on your mind but there are people who will help you. The most important thing is to talk and be honest. Don't be embarrassed to admit to what you are going through.

Try to be more tactful with the ones you love. Something has put you in a bad temper. It may be a recent argument or if you woke up feeling this way, it could be bad dreams you can't remember that are making you so tense. Do your best to remain calm and diplomatic as it would be all too easy to create a bad atmosphere.

You are up against some powerful personalities. Someone who has caused trouble for you in the past will do anything they can to block your progress. Keep to the background as this isn't the time to insist on getting your own way. You need a new strategy to find a way around them.

It will be a relief to know that you and a senior colleague are thinking along similar lines as far as future policy goes. This makes it an ideal day to press your advantage. A business meeting will go well as new plans and ideas are agreed on. You will feel as if at last things are starting to move forward again.

You're tempted to question the decisions or comments of someone in authority. Even if they seem to be saying the opposite to what they told you recently, they will not want to be reminded of this. In fact they will deny ever having had a past conversation. You could find your job in jeopardy if you get on the wrong side of a senior colleague.

It will feel as if you and a partner or housemate just can't stop arguing. It doesn't matter what crops up in conversation, whether it is finances, friendships, household chores or education, you can't seem to agree. It might be better to walk away and find something else to do. Choose to spend time in the company of people you are able to get along with.

Some ambitious plans will create more than the usual amount of tension within a team. You are all working towards the same goal and you all have a part to play to bring this about. You will do all you can to make sure your work is exemplary and you don't let your side down.

Common sense is the key to problems you come up against today and this is something you will have no shortage of. You're determined to fix something that has broken down instead of having it replaced. Others don't expect your plans to work but you are about to prove them wrong.

You have always been honest and people know they can rely on you to tell it as it is. Your boss will ask for your views on a subject at work and you will be more than ready to speak your mind. This is an opportunity you have been waiting for which is another reason why you aren't about to withhold anything.

You've always taken your responsibilities seriously. It's hard to understand how anyone can walk away from joint commitments to leave others with the mess. Plans are starting to fall apart and this is due to disagreements over the costs of materials. What surprises you most is that you are left having to sort out this confusion.

Too many people are taking an interest in what you are doing. You want to be able to concentrate and you could do without having others breathing down your neck. In order to be able to deal with matters that need intense focus you will prefer to find a quiet corner where you can get on without an audience.

Use any spare time you get to tie up loose ends of the past four weeks or so. There are some matters you will be relieved to see the end of. If you choose to ignore these any longer they could cause problems in the future. The more organised you are about important concerns, the more time you will have for having fun later in the month.
