It may seem that someone's being elusive: yet they may be thinking the same about you. Arrangements could go wrong through misunderstandings and extra expense could be incurred when you have to take a journey at short notice. On the upside, though you might need to show skills as a financial juggler, you could move money around so that it's in place for when you need it tomorrow.

Practising the gentle art of persuasion could be exhausting – especially if you're trying to get round rules and regulations. Negotiations that would affect your way of living could proceed at pace – once you've got over the not so insignificant problem of someone being off sick just when you need them around. You might have to rely on your own inner voice to make a decision – which could be an exhausting process.

Your batteries may be well on the way to being recharged. The process could be helped by being near water or being close to someone born under one of the Water signs (Cancer, Scorpio or Pisces). It might also be that you're now in the midst of change that could be described as dramatic. The assistance of a Taurus friend who shows understanding and talks you through practicalities could be invaluable.

It will surely take for you to feel the full effect of last week's Solar Eclipse in your sign. In fact, it could take months. In this curious period before the Lunar eclipse on 28th, you could feel both overwhelmed and excited. There may be so many options to consider. At one level, you perhaps need time out (holiday time), to gather strength before moving forward. At another level you could be excited by recent contacts and what they appear to offer. It wouldn't be so surprising if one of these offered a variation on work you did some years ago. The difference this time is that rather than seeing other people's hopes being realised, you could manifest your own. A major feature may be news reaching you on 19th that is as delightful as it is unexpected.
