Younger friends or relatives may be unusually introspective over the next few days. Complex romantic issues, disagreements between friends or social disappointment will be a source of concern. Provide creative distractions: in the coming weeks, outdoor activities and revised health regimes prove invaluable. Watch also for a quick reversal of property contracts or long-term leasing agreements. Financial negotiations may be difficult: remain determined.

Watch for authority figures to delay important projects or offer subtle indications of impending promotions. Private competitions or hidden jealousy may also be an underlying influence: expect colleagues to be moody or mildly critical of improved methods and new assignments. Social invitations may change without warning. Study reactions carefully: close friends and lovers will soon reveal their deepest feelings or opinions.

Social planning may be complicated and unreliable this week. Expect friends and close colleagues to cancel group events or ask for extra private time. No serious or lasting affects can be expected, so not to worry. Do, however, encourage optimism and revised schedules: your compassion will be appreciated. Wednesday through Saturday, watch also for powerful dream experiences and sudden flashes of wisdom. Family alliances are now changing: stay focused.

Business habits and trusted procedures are now subject to quick reversals. Key officials may announce controversial promotions or unique assignments: expect both to be temporary. Avoid political triangles, if possible: older co-workers or managers will take responsibility for outstanding projects. Also accent complex romantic proposals and minor social ultimatums. Don't hesitate: your response may be critical.

Miscommunications between friends may now cause unexpected delays. Before mid-week, social proposals and family events will require special attention. Don't shy away from difficult emotions this week: friends and relatives may express passionate views but will also offer sincere and deeply felt compliments. Remain dedicated to group harmony. A past financial opportunity may reappear and demand completion. Respond quickly and expect lasting rewards.

Family discussions will work to your advantage over the next 6 days. Someone close is now willing to expand their circle of friends or accept complex proposals. Carefully explain all motives and consequences: at present, loved ones need to feel welcomed by the group or included in important decisions. Provide meaningful encouragement. Business or work partners may demand lengthy or written explanations. Take your time: accuracy will prove vital.

Extra training or improved workplace skills may this week become a top priority. Many Librans will experience employment reversals or fast job re-assignments. Offer diplomacy: although key officials may appear disorganized, serious and lasting changes are in operation. Pay special attention the social needs or observations of a friend. Fear of abandonment may now strain long-term relationships: provide old statements of loyalty.

Revised workplace instructions and recent business or financial mistakes will, disrupt important schedules. Expect authority figures to be critical of new ideas or briefly unresponsive. All is well, however: remain determined and wait for reliable procedures to return. A colleague or close friend may offer an unique glimpse into their private hopes or past regrets.

Subtle flirtations and rekindled sensuality may be highly distracting. Potential lovers will now offer unique overtures, fast comments or witty observations. Trust your initial instincts and respond only to serious or consistent invitations: before mid-November, new relationships may prove unpredictable. New contracts and important business meetings may be briefly delayed. Stay alert: your effort and flexibility will be closely evaluated.

Discussions between close friends may this week reveal unexpected information. Past romantic resentments or complicated relationships will now require special attention. Confidently express your needs or goals. Loved ones will soon develop a deeper appreciation of your perspective: don't hesitate to clarify yesterday's disappointments. A trusted colleague may challenge the methods or opinions of authority figures. Go slow: workplace politics are unreliable.

Quiet reflection is productive and meaningful this week. Some Aquarians will now experience unique moments of social insight or wisdom. Family relations and ongoing differences of opinion may be particularly revealing. Older relatives may ask for added consideration: remain diplomatic but study past habits for valuable clues. Key officials may request added dedication or extra time. Pay attention to calculations: small errors will prove costly.

Yesterday's social and romantic choices may now trigger unique discussions. A forgotten friend or past lover may ask for renewed affections or a second chance. Carefully examine all recent progress: repeated patterns, addictive behaviors or unresolved family disputes may continue to be problematic. Stay balanced. Avoid new debts or large purchases. Before mid-November, financial errors may continue to be an ongoing theme.
