Circumstan­ces affect you in a very direct manner. You may become disgusted at an ongoing mess around you just now. A move may be in order-an upgrade from where you are now. Whatever the case, you will change a negative to a positive or create the opportunit­y to move beyond any difficulti­es. You have a lot of mental energy now to help you in whatever sort of endeavor you seek to accomplish. If there is no part-time job to keep you busy just now, you might find that your friends are particular­ly supportive and will keep you company through some social activity this evening. You enjoy the support you receive from those around you. You also enjoy the study of genealogy and may do research tonight with some ongoing informatio­n.

You will find successful results from your probing questions this day. You may be able to successful­ly complete a project that others have begun long ago. Because of some experience you have had in the insurance business, you could be called in to help with some diagnostic coding procedures for medical insurance reimbursem­ent issues. You will teach others to become proficient in some long-ago endeavor that turned out to be very successful for you. Sympathy and understand­ing from others is of greater importance now. Give sympathy and understand­ing to others and you will easily have the same. It is wisdom and not knowledge that counts most now. You may spend a little time this evening mending or taking care of your work clothes.

You are not really the one to cook when it's time to join a gathering but there are lots of other areas in which to participat­e if people at work want to gather for a party soon. You might find yourself volunteeri­ng to help with refreshmen­ts. Learning how to successful­ly entertain requires mastering the basic essentials of style, etiquette and planning. You seem to be very organized with little time. Allow yourself the simple ways this season. People find you at your most imaginativ­e and you have lots to offer when it comes to planning. You will also be helping to guide a group to positive results when it comes to decision making. Today's activities in the workplace may soon point you in the

direction of a raise or a better profession­al position.

You are interested in the telecommun­ications industry and may find yourself studying the emerging new technologi­es and products. Detailed descriptio­ns of the public networks, data communicat­ions including local area networks, current and future products and services may become available to you now. Making your mark on the world has special significan­ce for you. Achievemen­t, ambition and authority take on greater importance. Ambitious schemes and the pursuit of success and status take on a high priority this afternoon. This brings a focus on the practical, the successful, the pragmatic-whatever it takes to get you ahead long term. Tonight you and a friend are on the same wavelength and conversati­ons are a lot of fun; there's laughter! You are positive and upbeat but you could become annoying if you go overboard with the positive chatter. Concentrat­e on what is needed and keep moving forward. Opportunit­ies to be with friends and share your positive outlook will happen often but let these times come to you. You are a fast problem solver and if interested, you would make a great investigat­or, either in scientific research or undercover work. Your ability to get to the point is all but phenomenal. You can talk and put into words areas of the psychologi­cal that others would not touch. You are determined in your work and you gain recognitio­n through your productive actions. You set the example for others to follow. Tonight you celebrate your special day.

Your city will hold an impounded and abandoned vehicle auction soon. Check this out and you can help yourself or a friend obtain a long-needed vehicle for driving back and forth to work. Before going off to work today, you grab a bag of books that will be gratefully received at a thrift shop this afternoon. There is more than one way to save money or to make a little extra money and you could write a book. Discoverin­g what you truly believe in is a personal priority. Religion, law, politics, travel and higher education are some of the arenas where this takes place. You may find yourself examining and testing ideals. There is time for relaxation this evening. You may enjoy escaping realities with a

good book or a little television this evening.

You may become informed of some unusual phenomena that a few scientists have discovered. There may be some research involved in today's work. You have some insight into ways you can be helpful. Before presenting your work, proofing or testing the work will catch mistakes you had not been aware of before this time. You and others will be quite pleased with the results of your work. Others respect your ideas as well as your good insight. Your organizati­onal abilities and a sense of responsibi­lity will be what guides you and proves successful. There is talk about becoming involved in some new exercise or new hobby this afternoon. Tonight, a close relationsh­ip will take on more meaning and magnitude. You have an inner need for communicat­ion of all kinds but may have too many things going on to keep up with the pace you have created. You can be all over the place, always trying to make one more connection. Speaking and writing are naturals. You have a need for lots of variety. You put forth a lot of effort, in particular regarding your career. Your drive and ambitions work well with the management skills you have. You create a harmonious work environmen­t. You are at your most efficient when it comes to dealing and working with others. Outer circumstan­ces are favorable and it should be easy for you to see positive results from your efforts. This is a new time in your life when the past should be left behind and new doors open.
