Someone in your life has problems which will make you forget your own. A friend, colleague or relative has worked themselves into a state over something they shouldn't really have to worry about. If this is a responsibility that should be another's you'll not hold back in fighting for their rights. Lately you might feel you've been drifting along with no specific goals in mind. You're more likely to feel focused and your mood is purposeful, today.

Be ready to experiment with new opportunities; they won't be there forever if you decide to walk away today. Have faith in your ability to do something new and you could achieve what you thought was impossible. Try out the recipe you've had your eye on for ages, learn a foreign language, start on that book you've always said you'd write. Trust your instincts and whatever you decide to do will not only bring pleasure to you but also to those who share your world.

Telling loved ones you care for them rather than taking it for granted they already know will deepen ties of affection. You aren't so willing now to give into other people's demands when you're starting to realise where your real priorities lie. This might also be a way to relieve yourself of a duty you were never very keen on. Being so busy lately has prevented you from spending quality time with those who matter; you will make up for that now.

Your sensitivity towards the needs of others is ultra-strong. Whether it is a parent, brother, sister or some other loved one who needs an extra bit of love and understanding, you will be the one they feel they can truly talk to. Because you genuinely care about what they're telling you, you'll be making a special attempt to help find a solution to a situation they're finding hard to accept. Your determination to keep everything simple will make it easier for others to go along with your ideas.

Owing to a certain person or situation, you may be having a hard time of it. You might even feel clumsy, disorganised and rather inept compared with some. This is totally out of character particularly when recently you have been so methodical, cautious and determined. The good news is: this little setback isn't set to last and very soon you will once again be both mentally and physically on the ball.

Get the most out of your leisure time. Stay out of the limelight and concentrate your attention on the family. Be ready to fit with what other people want to do and in this way, you won't feel left out of things. If you are a parent, one of your children will make you feel proud as the day comes to an end. Changes are in the air. These will be introduced gradually so it will be some time before there has to be a complete revision of existing routines.

You won't need a wishing star to make a special dream come true today. Just watch and wait and soon you will see a goal on your distant horizon come unexpectedly within reaching distance. Try to take advantage of what's on offer financially. Someone's in a generous mood and you aren't apt to look a gift horse in the mouth. Even so it won't hurt to remember this kind gesture so you can return this favour in the future.

You glow with optimism and this makes you an object of desire. Twosome activities may take you to places which hold special memories for you both. Compliments coming your way will help boost your self esteem and strengthen your reputation as being a charismatic person who can always be trusted. You might also receive recognition for a creative or artistic talent.

The further you travel, the more fascinating events will be. If you're keen to improve your career prospects, be prepared to take to the roads at a moment's notice. Adaptability and presence of mind are just what your superiors are looking for. Show others you are the best candidate for any promotional positions through your willingness to go where you are needed. There is the possibility of a jealous workmate usurping your position if you allow them the scope.

It is time, don't you think, to turn over a new leaf and stop dwelling so much on the past. There are about to be changes to your immediate environment; this may see you entering a period of fluctuation. Be prepared to accept the tide of change sweeping into your life. You will be particularly aware of the resources available to you now. Use these wisely and well to help you further your ambitions.

You've always valued your independence so consulting others before implementing even small changes is frustrating. Even so you are determined to move ahead and to gain everyone else's approval. Your consideration will prove more than beneficial to you when you come up against some opposition from a family member. They will listen to your ideas and welcome them. People will accept your decisions and it will be all systems go once they do.

Once your ideas are clear, you will be ready to start new projects rolling. A short trip is necessary to gain other people's support. Your pioneering spirit will bring the rewards you deserve. At work, because you are ready to be the first in, last to leave and quick to volunteer, you will be getting along well with other employees and senior colleagues. You may have to take charge of a creative project and a concentrated effort will bring pleasing results.
