Spiritual matters could assume a greater significance in your life this year. If you've been thinking about studying a new religion, resuming an old faith, or donating your time to a soulful pursuit, begin now. It's important to build your inner resources, as well as your physical strength. Friends and family may be threatened by your emerging interests, but never fear. In the end, the people who love you most will lend their support.

Group activities should keep you busy from now until the end of the year. Think about joining an arts society, reading group, or sports team. You don't have to be the best member in order to have a good time. Every organisation needs a calm, placid person to keep the proceedings on an even keel. While you're soothing egos and mending broken fences, your friends can teach you to be a little more spontaneous.

You're determined to make changes to your career, regardless of the cost. The temptation to burn professional bridges could be very great right now. Feel free to leave an abusive situation, but retain contacts which can help you in the future. Nobody can blame you for walking out on an unreasonable boss. Turning your back on helpful colleagues, however, could have unhappy consequences. Direct your wrath only at those who deserve it.

Although you're a natural homebody, the urge to travel could be too powerful to resist. At least one long journey is indicated between now and the end of the year. Why not make the most of this exciting planetary energy and plan a series of trips? Studying abroad might be fun, or exploring a vast country that has always fascinated you. Obey your adventurous instincts, no matter where they lead. You'll be glad you did!

Sex and passion are destined to take centre stage between now and mid-December. Perhaps you've rediscovered your desire for an old amour. Maybe somebody new has kindled your desire. Whatever your situation, it's important to appreciate your physical needs. Coming to terms with difficult emotions from the past will allow you to forge a healthier, happier future with the one you love.

Establishing firm personal boundaries is essential if you're going to have a fulfilling relationship. While someone you love may genuinely care for you, their actions could be undermining your self-confidence. Practice standing up for yourself, even if it's in stages. Saying "no" to unreasonable requests and pursuing your own interests will redress the balance of power in your favour. Nobody should ever call all the shots in a partnership.

Coming to terms with stress, anger, or tension should be your first order of business. You have between now and December to discover ways to channel these feelings into constructive projects. Otherwise, your rage will continue to build until it consumes you. Get into the habit of exercising for just a half an hour a day. Even a brisk walk will help you release all the poisonous instincts that have been building inside.

The second half of the year promises to be filled with romantic adventure, so get ready! A passionate relationship could rob you of sleep, but you'll hardly feel the deprivation. If you yearn for a partnership, get involved with creative activities that speak to your heart. You could meet the love of your life at an art class, museum, or cinema. Obey the persistent demands of your inner child. It's playtime!

Undertaking a big home renovation project could prove rewarding. Making more physical space for yourself can help you grow emotionally, as well. You might even decide to move to another place entirely. Cautious protectors may warn you now is not the time to rock the boat. Ignore these worrywarts. A versatile person like you thrives on change, anyway. Get ready for some profound breakthroughs regarding family between now and the end of the year.

The competition is getting fierce, but fortunately, you're able to handle it. This may be a cosmic signal that it's time to push yourself a little harder toward your goals. If you're not in an environment that is supportive and stimulating, you must seek one out. Otherwise, you will be at the mercy of those who are less capable and intelligent than you are. Taking a class before the end of the year is possible.

Impulse spending could become a problem if you're not vigilant between now and December. The desire to shop until you drop could be rooted in self-worth problems. Perhaps you don't feel valued at work or at home. Maybe you regret the professional path you've chosen. You may even feel as though your lifestyle is a sham. Understand that no decision is irreversible. Channel your energy into forging the life you want.

The rest of the year promises to be filled with high-speed activity, so hold on to your hat. You are more determined than ever to get your way in personal matters. Whether that means saying goodbye to a relationship that no longer meets your needs or leaving a musty old job is up to you. Understand, however, that whatever action you take will attract rare opportunities. Out with the old, and in with the new!
