It's time to turn your attention to your personal life. Your home has become quite cluttered and chaotic. Take this opportunity to whip the place into shape. Buy in a supply of groceries, throw in a couple of loads of laundry, go through stacks of mail. If you share this space with relatives or roommates, enlist their help. You should do the lion's share of the work since you haven't been around lately. Getting into a relaxing rhythm gives you a fresh appreciation for the comforts of home.

You simply can't put off errands any longer. Return phone messages and emails. Go to the bank. Take clothes to be cleaned and mended. Make some meals that can be eaten later in the week. If you have to post a package, do it now, before you miss a friend's birthday, celebration, or anniversary. You've always had a hard time changing pace, but time is running out. People are counting on you to do your part. Dropping the ball will let them down.

You have a chance to pamper your sensual side. Lately, you've been scrambling to make everybody else comfortable. Now you can pause to enjoy a massage, gourmet meal, or shopping spree. Sure, you'll spend a little extra money, but what's the point of working so hard if you can't enjoy the fruits of your labour? It may be necessary to replace a household appliance. Do plenty of research before venturing into a showroom or ordering something online.

The spotlight is finally trained on you. Lately, you've been at a partner's beck and call. This dynamic has started wearing on your nerves. Instead of deferring to your amour, assert your own needs. Insist on going to the movie or restaurant you'd like. Don't abandon your plans to accommodate somebody else. It's especially important to do things for your own amusement, without seeking anyone's approval. If you like a solitary cup of coffee in the morning or baking bread in your free time, do it!

Working behind the scenes will be lucrative. Normally, you like getting lots of attention. By slipping off to some private work area you'll be able to develop a creative project without interference. It will be such a relief to make something without the nagging comments of critics ringing in your ears. Besides, it will be fun to spring this surprise on unsuspecting rivals who are always trying to steal your thunder. They'll all be astonished at how much you've done in such a short time.

It's time to emerge from your cocoon and rejoin your friends. Lately, you've been so wrapped up in a romance or creative project that you have lost sight of your larger role in society. Helping a friend move or apply for work gives you a sense of pride. It's nice to know you're in demand. Joining a charitable organisation will raise your social status. Choose a cause close to your heart, like animal welfare or environmental protection.

You can't neglect work any longer. Although you have plenty of responsibilities at home, you've got to make a living, too. Ask relatives to become more independent. It's not fair to pile all the duties on your shoulders. By pooling your resources with your nearest and dearest, you can hire a cleaning service, babysitter, or nursing attendant. Working from home is possible, but only if you create an office that is secluded from the living area.

It's time to take a leap of faith. Lately, you've been so wrapped up in the details of life that you've lost sight of the big picture. What's the point of doing all this work if there is no payoff? You've always wanted to travel - schedule a long distance trip now, while you've got the courage. An adventurous friend will agree to accompany you. Try to be as flexible as possible on this journey. Clinging stubbornly to your own ways will just cause unnecessary tension.

Settling a debt makes you feel better about the future. If there's anything you hate, it's having an obligation hanging over your head. You will probably have to tighten your belt to cover this bill, but the sacrifice will be only temporary. A well paid job will soon become available. The competition for this position will be fierce, so be sure to prepare accordingly. Gather your most impressive work samples, create a compelling CV, and polish your interviewing skills.

Making a sacrifice for your partner will be a testament to your relationship. You've always had a hard time expressing your feelings. By showing your amour just how much you care, you'll put an end to the resentment that's been growing between you. The two of you will benefit from a romantic trip. Choose a place that has always captivated your beloved's imagination. Too often, you insist on doing things your own way. This time, you should defer to their desires.

The results of a health regime are paying off. Your love life becomes a lot more exciting now you feel and look better. Too often, you focus entirely on intellectual matters. Now you're getting back in touch with your body, you've become more sexual. If you're single, you could meet someone special at a library, bookstore, or lecture. Keep your eyes open for someone who is impeccably dressed. The urge to wrinkle their perfectly pressed clothes will be irresistible.

Stop what you're doing and schedule something fun. People have been laying all of their responsibilities at your door. Although you enjoy helping friends, there needs to be a limit to your generosity. A creative type like you needs inspiration. Head off to a flea market, museum, or photo gallery. Filling your mind with images will inspire an art project. Don't be surprised if you cross paths with a witty intellectual who looks at you with a flirtatious eye.
