A friend or colleague is in difficulties and you could feel obliged to help out. Somewhere along the line you might make a promise or commitment which could be binding either through time or money. You may not realise exactly what you're letting yourself in for. A simple issue could be much deeper and far reaching than you think. Consider all angles before making any lasting commitments.

Your thoughts are on a health matter but a visit to the doctor's or dentist won't be as nerve wracking as expected. Routine chores can be made more interesting if you look for new ways to approach them. Life does not have to be dull and dreary. The way is now open to give your attention to more interesting concerns. Changes in your everyday lifestyle will benefit your health. This could give you more space for relaxation.

Looking for an excuse to work off your high energy levels? Even if not in the mood, you could keep in everyone's good books by showing willing to get on with the job in hand. You might also find enjoyment through activities with children or young people. Offer to baby sit for a relative or join some youngsters in a game of football. Their high spirits should soon wear down your restless energy!

You need to find a workable balance between your own needs and what you do for others. Someone needs your help; this may be connected with family affairs. If you give in, you could find yourself repeating this chore at regular intervals in the future. Think about all the possible repercussions this could have on your lifestyle and you will find it easier to decide what will be the best course of action.

A matter that has been causing problems and stopping you from getting on with what you want to do can now be resolved. It's never pleasant to live with others who are at war with each other; today you might think of a way to find harmony. If you can successfully mediate, this could make life easier for all concerned. You are full of bright ideas and with your encouragement, everyone will see the light!

If working on something demanding concentration and attention to detail, you could get bogged down by technicalities. Problems result from you concentrating too much on the individual trees and disregarding the woods. Try to do something else for a while, preferably something physical. Clear your head and then start over again. A friend or colleague's ideas could help save you some time or money.

Life will get easier if you approach your ever mounting responsibilities with resignation. Be prepared to deal with obligations as necessary and don't try to dodge them. Evading your responsibilities could be causing problems. Just think: once you get up to date with your current commitments, you will be free to follow your inclinations. Is this not incentive enough to wipe the slate clean?

Your mood today seems to be at odds with everyone else's; do you go your way while they go theirs? Because no-one agrees with you, you might wonder whether you're doing the right thing. My feeling is that you shouldn't let people deter you from your aims. As a Scorpio you are persistent and determined. If you think you should take a certain course of action, you will have the willpower to succeed, no matter what the odds.

Your natural zest for life coupled with high energy levels and motivation should lead to many little triumphs. Love and social affairs share the limelight. There's a renewed sense of stability in a close relationship as plans recently made start to take shape. You could do far worse than spending the evening with like minded friends who will love to share your current dreams and schemes.

Exciting job openings are in the offing; stay alert and be ready to walk through new doors. If involved in an important career project, don't be against using your charm to attract professional benefits your way. This won't necessarily put you in the limelight for this is the last place you want to be. Simply being aware of your good points and using these to your advantage should help you make progress to be proud of.

An overseas project is going just the way you want it to or you will benefit from contact with foreigners. Recent negotiations either for business or personal reasons will have led to a pleasing decision. You're waiting until everything is signed, sealed and delivered before letting someone close know what you are planning. Perhaps you're expecting objections; you're determined not to change your mind.

If you're involved in study or learning, you could be disinclined to spend much time on research projects today. It may require a lot of self discipline for you to turn your attention to areas that stretch your mental powers. Why not team up with someone on the same course? Two heads are better than one and you will soon appreciate how much your potential is being developed as a result.
