A most important period of your life; you must eliminate anything that is over and done with. A powerful desire for spiritual self-improvement will overtake you. You long for a philosophy that will make sense of all the world's seemingly incomprehensible injustices. Enrolling in a course or workshop can give you a deeper understanding of the Universe and your role in it. Turning your attention away from personal considerations and toward more humanitarian ones can lend enlightenment, too.

You are bewildered about life and must decide on a more spiritual course of action. Your sex drive is powerful and you yearn for a physical outlet for all your pent-up frustrations. Don't make the mistake of mixing business with pleasure, or you could do considerable damage to your professional reputation. You would be better off watching a steamy movie or reading a racy novel as a means to satisfy your cravings. The stars have a strange effect on everybody; even stable types like you, over the next couple of weeks.

So many things have not been making sense; it's time to pursue a new modus vivendi. Putting your skills to practical use is strongly favoured; be more determined than ever to make your mark. Perhaps you're trying to impress somebody who arouses your passions. It's only natural that you want to be appreciated and admired by the object of your desire. However, resist the urge to exaggerate your talents, or you could be exposed as a Johnny come lately. You're better off sticking to what you know you do best.

It's the end of a chapter in your life, tie up old loose ends and prepare to make a fresh start. Pushing yourself beyond the limits of physical endurance is a bad idea indeed. Perhaps you're trying to exhaust yourself as a means to blot out some painful news. If you are short of funds, you need to face the facts as soon as possible. Devise a way to pay off your debts, even if it means making significant sacrifices for the foreseeable future. An accountant could give you valuable advice but will you follow it?

You're at a personal crossroads but let me tell you it's time to move on and leave the past behind. Contests of all kinds excite you, but psychological ones are especially enticing. You're willing to match your wits against those of a rival. It's hard to resist someone as dynamic and magnetic as yourself. If you've got your eye on someone who is in a committed relationship, consider whether you want to break up their home life for a fling. The sexual chemistry between you may be very powerful, but remember every action has a consequence, and are you willing to take the risk?

Over the next few days even the most trivial event will present a major happening in your life. Your willpower is incredibly strong so use it to conquer old psychologically based demons. Suddenly, you don't feel so enslaved or quite so screwed-up by hang-ups like you once did. Chalk it up to maturity. Take care not to overextend yourself physically. You feel like you can conquer the world but you wouldn't to jeopardise your health in the process. Concentrate ridding yourself of behaviours that prevent you from living a life that is spiritually rewarding.

Not everything you see or hear is true so don't delude yourself into believing what isn't. Mastering a complex subject is much easier than you expect; your intellect is razor sharp. Take care not to neglect your nearest and dearest, as you've been spending a great deal of time recently on personal pursuits. It may be best to cancel plans for the sake of someone who is feeling under the weather. Smothering a child with attention could be a problem for everyone involved with them, instead give yourselves some extra breathing space. Prepare to go off on a mercy dash.

A powerful transformation is taking place in and around you so purge your world of all that's negative. You're more determined than ever to make a fortune and have all the necessary drive to do so. Don't expect folks to applaud these efforts though. They may view all the time you're spending on personal issues as a personal affront. It can be hard to balance your differing lives at a time like this. Perhaps it would be best to ask for some patience and understanding from the outset. Money is at the basis of everything in your life at the moment, leave nothing to chance; take control of your resources.

The rest of the month is a make or break period for you; don't lose your chance to advance your life. This is a very intense period for you, whether it's good or bad depends on your actions. Forcing any question or issuing ultimatums is not the best idea. You're better off advancing your agenda to people who are open to your ideas. For instance, you might have better luck attending a job interview than asking your other half to make a commitment. It's easy to misread your mood, so beware. Be careful of ego games or strong-arm tactics that put you on a self-destructive power craze.

Whilst everyone else are losing their heads make sure you keep yours screwed on very tight! You have a compulsive urge to do something that is entirely out of character for you. Obey your instincts and see where they take you. This is not a positive time to lend funds, even to trusted friends. As you know, money can come between even the best relationships. You're better off putting your resources to long-term ventures designed to bring security. Follow your rationale and invest whatever you can so it can multiply for that rainy day.

The next few days represent a catalyst in your destiny; you have a massive decision to make. Spending too much time on other peoples' needs is depriving you of the time and space to concentrate on your interests. You can't run yourself ragged by being at anyone's beck and call. Those who know you to be facing an uphill battle of choice are ready to rally to your defence and take some of the pressure off. Everything from your life direction to your personal beliefs will be affected by what you choose to do. Think very carefully and listen to your conscience at all times.

You're caught in a moral maze and the only way out is to be ethical and scrupulous at all times. Transforming your reputation to suit your personal needs is a real possibility. Folks have been trying to force you into a particular mould for some time. Unfortunately, this is a space that doesn't showcase the full measure of your talents. Take any chance to show off your skills to authority figures, even if it means defying somebody's orders. Cooperating with the system can actually work against you; march to your own tune - to your own self be true.
