Be wary of making assumptions under such a deceptive sky, nothing is really as it seems, especially with regard to finances and feelings. Balance your check book, keep track of receipts and review credit card statements, if not you could fight a losing battle with banks, building societies and governmental agencies.

Someone you care for is less than forthcoming; it might be a good idea to check into their marital status. If you're already in a committed relationship, have a heart-to-heart talk with your partner. Make sure that they are comfortable in expressing their true feelings or what's the point of being together?

Your softer side is crying to come out and be adored: adopting a pet, plant or cuddly toy may be just what you need to fulfil your nurturing instincts. You don't need to put on a tough persona to impress others. Rather, more people will respect you if you're able to express a full range of emotion without reservation.

Sometimes you've got to take a risk if you're going to attract good fortune so stop clinging to the familiar. Instead, envisage your life as you'd like it to be, and don't be conservative. You have got to conceive a dream before you can achieve it. Use visual aids to make your goals seem more possible.

A difficult situation finally comes to a close, which gives you mixed feelings about the future. Make a fresh new start. Begin by getting rid of any possessions that have negative associations. It's important to surround yourself with positive images and affirmations. Your environment has a strong impact on your psyche.

Try not to jump to conclusions about someone; there may be a perfectly valid explanation for their seemingly weird behaviour. In the meantime, focus on improving your communication skills. If you feel like you're constantly misunderstood, there's probably a good reason why. Oft repeated complaints have a lot of validity.

Your values may be called into question when someone you love commits a potentially unforgivable act. Are you willing to put your money where your mouth is? If not, maybe it's time to amend your beliefs. In any case, this is a sign to be less judgmental of others. Try taking alternate points of view into consideration.

Despite overwhelming odds, you're able to beat the system; now you've got to decide what your next move will be. This is a fine time to reach out to people less fortunate than yourself. Your story could provide them with the inspiration to move ahead with their plans. Never underestimate the power of success.

You're beginning to reap the benefits of a more positive outlook; now is not the time to get idle about realising your dreams. Instead, redouble your efforts and see what happens: you may end up getting even more than you anticipated. An old family saying rings true when forced to deal with an unreasonable so-and-so.

It's hard to look at a friend the same way after they commit a grievous or devious mistake; it's time you stopped idealising people. Viewing the world in black-and-white is a dangerous practice, because it doesn't allow folks to be human or fallible. Examine why you need to look at life in such simple terms: don’t kid yourself.

Overconfidence leads to serious problems which spill over into other areas of your world; never take anyone’s support for granted. Playing by the rules is the best way to avoid trouble. The temptation to use your power to further your aims is, indeed, tempting, but you've too much at stake to take such a foolish chance.

You totally misread someone who has a different background from your own; before getting angry, initiate a frank talk. It may turn out that the two of you are more similar than you think. Whatever the case, try not to go by body language or facial expressions as they could be just a misleading mask.
