If an old face pops up from the past, they will bring news you will be happy to hear. Cash spent on a home improvement program, new furniture or bits and pieces to brighten up your home will be money well spent. It will be up to you to make the first move in joint undertakings. Sometimes it might feel you have to go backwards to move forward. Even so progress will be slow and steady.

You have everything to gain by putting a partner's desires before your own. Being willing to listen and more importantly, responding to what you hear, will be advantageous in more ways than one. Don't be surprised if someone makes it obvious their feelings about you are starting to change. Talks and activities shared with those you love will give you so much pleasure.

The reason to avoid heavy and demanding work is it could keep you from joining in with other opportunities. Join in with activities involving a group of people and watch for the chance to express your ideas. As well as being impressed by your method of presentation, someone in authority might like your technique and style. You have so much to gain from selling your ideas and as much to lose if you hide yourself away in the background.

You might hear of a friend or acquaintance from the past who has drifted back into your orbit. Uncertainty could be the way you greet this new development. Memories you have of this person cause confusion or remorse. You may not want a replay of a previous romantic entanglement. At least someone has been kind enough to put you in the picture and being forewarned gives you the chance to prepare for what could be!

In all relationships it pays to be open, honest and playful. You have a way with words that encourages people to say things they would normally keep to themselves. You could learn something someone didn't want you to know! For the ambitious among you, important new contacts are made. You might enjoy a little flirtation later in the day and if you're single, this could lead to romance.

People have plenty of advice and suggestions to offer. A colleague expects you to take them up on their ideas before you've had a chance to think about them. Insist on testing out theories and new possibilities before putting them into practice. A short test run will show up any likely problems. The more careful you are today, the better you will be at avoiding future difficulties.

Your timing could be out on occasion causing you to miss opportunities you would have found refreshing. You could, for instance, boost your personal resources by turning a hobby into a money earner. If and when someone offers to pay you for your services don't be a fool and offer to do something for them, for free! An imaginative suggestion could be rewarded in the form of a monetary bonus.

You're surrounded by people; demands are heavy and not everyone is as helpful as they promise to be. Someone in authority exaggerates situations and harps on about their own importance. You will almost certainly want to continue with projects begun in the past but you won't be keen to get involved in anything new. You might want to set a relationship onto a more secure footing but you aren't sure how to go about it!

There's an unusual need to withdraw from normal activities, to focus your mind and analyse your feelings. Whether you're thinking about a love relationship, job developments or future long term plans you need to know you are living your life for yourself and not for others. Of course you won't dismiss other people's feelings completely. But you want more time to consider your own position before going any further.

In some areas you might feel you are in over your head. You can't get yourself in the right frame of mind to work on mental and creative endeavours. Projects started as a team seem to be going nowhere and you doubt someone's ability to lead. Your choice now is to give others a gentle push from behind or to break away completely and continue with a joint assignment on your own.

If you've not been able to get through to a partner or workmate, they are more willing to listen to reason today. You must put your thoughts across in a dramatic way to get others to sit up and take notice. If you're making long term plans for the future that affect more than just yourself be sure to agree on mutual goals. You need to know you are all heading in the same direction.

If you're thinking of making some changes, refuse to listen to a friend's advice. There's an urge to broaden your horizons. You might do this through travel or through a new career move. Decide for yourself what you want to do. It is unlikely anything will happen quickly so you have time to adapt to new circumstances or ideas. The important thing is you're now starting to plan more sensibly for the future.
