You have sat back for a while and let events unfold. This has been a good tactic but judging the moment to swoop seems critical. An event that is not connected with your usual routine seems to be the stimulus for you to come to the fore and others will be receptive to your ideas. Travel plans that don’t quite fit with your idea of perfection will be made by mid month but it appears fate has a surprise in store. You are not one to normally gamble but maybe this is the time to consider it? Work appears intense and you will need to focus. A work colleague who seems helpful may have other motives that will challenge you. Your ability to be confident in your own abilities will be strained. An apple or similar fruit appears to hold the start of something. It may symbolise a beginning or a just reward. Check a date you have booked, it appears to be wrong.
