You'll have to change your daily routine, whether you like it or not. Maybe your gym is closing for renovations. Perhaps the place you shop for food will close. A construction project may alter the traffic pattern in your neighbourhood. Try not to make a mountain out of a molehill. If you go with the flow, you can establish an even more rewarding regime that wouldn't previously have occurred to you. If getting to work on time will be challenging, talk to your boss.

Instead of treating a creative project like a chore, adopt a more spontaneous approach. Don't limit your work to a certain time of day. If you wake up in the middle of the night, pick up where you left off. You can also get up earlier so can have an hour of uninterrupted progress. Do you feel claustrophobic? Drive to a nearby park and let your imagination unfold. There's no reason you should stay chained to your desk. The best ideas are triggered by unfamiliar surroundings and unorthodox approaches.

Routines that once gave a sense of continuity are no longer working for you. Feel free to change. Spending more time with friends and relatives will be illuminating. Instead of pouring all your energy into work, you'll turn your attention to domestic chores. Making nutritious meals, doing small repairs and hosting casual parties will ease your restless energy. You've always had a keen intellect. This can cause your mind to race. Having a rewarding home life will help you rest, relax and reflect.

People won't be reliable. Broken promises and forgotten appointments will drive you to distraction. Instead of fighting this trend, give in to it. Before leaving to meet someone, confirm the meeting. Bring a book and snack in case you get stood up. If someone asks to reschedule, don't be quick to do so. It may be better to leave holes in your schedule. Use this time to catch up on your correspondence, run errands and reading. Put your own needs first.

Less is more. Cutting back expenses will be an empowering challenge. Although you love luxury, you don't have to buy everything you want. Admiring expensive things from a distance will give you a healthier relationship to your belongings. When you want to indulge your sensual side, do so inexpensively. Soaking in a scented bath, preparing some comfort food and taking a leisurely walk through the park are all wonderful ways to enjoy life. If you get a rise, set up a savings account.

You have an opportunity to change direction. If a situation isn't working for you, let it go. Embrace the unknown. Be open to meeting new people. Look for another job or find a different place to live. Set a fresh goal. Just because a certain course of action didn't work out doesn't mean you are a failure. The Universe is pushing you towards a path you hadn't considered before. You'll be pleasantly surprised by how much more rewarding this journey is.

After having planted some seeds a few weeks ago, you're disappointed with the results. It seems like you did all that work for nothing. This is not true. By keeping the faith, you will see growth in your spiritual life. It will be almost indiscernible at first. You may wake up to discover you no longer want to maintain a bad habit. It's possible you will see a manipulative person for who they really are. A path that once filled you with fear will become inviting. Be patient.

Friends won't be as reliable as they have been in the past. Instead of asking them for help, try performing certain tasks on your own. This may mean taking a course in home repair, learning to drive or becoming more assertive at work. The sooner you grab the reins of power, the happier you will be. Your loved ones want the best for you, but they have to attend to their own responsibilities. By taking work off their plates, your social net will become stronger and more supportive.

A career opportunity that once seemed exciting no longer appeals to you. Before abandoning it altogether, give yourself time to assess your options. It's still possible to work for a prestigious company, but you may prefer to work in a different department. Alternatively, if you want to open your own business but are too busy to do so, stay calm. You'll be able to realise this dream later in the year. Stop pushing yourself to make decisions. Sit back, relax and let events unfold in their own time.

Don't be afraid to scale back lofty goals. Work responsibilities may require you to put a course of study on hold. Fortunately, the situation is temporary. An ambitious person like you will feel tempted to try to carry out both responsibilities at once. This will cause unwanted stress. Give yourself a chance to earn more money and gain valuable experience. Filling in for an ailing colleague will put you in line for a career opportunity. You can return to your studies when this phase has passed.

Juggling your resources is critical to your survival. If you've racked up a lot of credit card debt, transfer the balances to a new card that has a low or no interest introductory offer. Hide the card where you won't be able to access it easily. Then pay the balance in big increments each month. By this time next year, you can be debt free. If you receive a royalty cheque, dividend or legal settlement, put the bulk of this windfall into a savings account, where it will serve as a cushion.

Stop demanding so much from a close relationship. Those closest to you need a little more space. Being self-sufficient will give them a chance to reassess their own needs. You may not realise it, but your continual demands have worn down their reserves. Be willing to run a few errands on their behalf. By acting like an equal partner, you'll restore the equilibrium to this bond. If that means doing extra housework, earning more money or simply being more emotionally available, so be it.
