The weekend brings some kind of change or upheaval and this will make you realise just how much the things you do for the community or other people are starting to interfere with your private life. It's as if your life isn't your own any more and you've got to do something definite to take control of the reins. You can't keep letting others trample on you in this way.

It would be a mistake to view the people around you as a threat when in fact, they could be wonderful allies. Turning down the chance to work with a team, towards a mutual goal, would also give you the chance to improve your knowledge, develop your talents and learn from your associates. Don't be afraid of the idea of change. Expand your social circle and increase your personal potential.

If you have been experiencing any doubt or uncertainty about a career or business move, events taking shape now could cause you to make a complete break that leads you to setting your sights in a whole new direction. You can't abide the thought of continuing with routines that have suddenly become unbearable. You want more out of life and you intend to get it.

You quite like the idea of throwing a few things in a bag and taking off on the spur of the moment. Travel is a strong temptation and if you can't get away, you're likely to feel restless and dissatisfied. Chances are you'll be getting round more than usual over the weeks ahead when exciting new possibilities are opening up for you and you won't think twice about grasping such opportunities with both hands.

An unexpected repayment, reimbursement or settlement gives you the chance to pay off a debt that's been slowly increasing, rather than decreasing. Don't be tempted to splash out on a whim or you will only find yourself back at square one, financially. Take the opportunity to clear the slate and have a good financial sort out.

Your partner may be reluctant to approve what, to them, sounds like a crazy idea. You think it's feasible and you feel so strongly about it that you will go ahead, regardless. Such rebellious behaviour's not like you at all and it's not going to put you in your loved-one's good books. But sometimes you have to follow your instincts even if it means you're going to have to pay for it, later.

You're more determined now and willing to redirect your energy and interests into making constructive changes. Your desire to overcome obstacles and get on with the jobs you've set for yourself, this weekend, does you credit. At the same time, trying too hard could cause you to be slightly accident prone. Be sensible when planning your days and don't push yourself too far too quickly.

There's no point in constantly giving in to a lover's demands when your spirit rebels at every turn. Tension in a close relationship needs to be addressed and some things will be said that may cause unpleasantness or anger. Once you get a romantic issue out of your system it will no longer cause you any grief. Whether you're still together by the end of the day depends on the strength of your relationship.

Despite the fact that your family haven't been falling over backwards to take up your suggestions, you're ready to give it another go today. You will be keeping your expectations down to a bare minimum so you could be in for a big surprise. Loved ones aren't as averse as they've recently been to listening to your ideas. It's easier to inspire others to veer away from the usual trodden path.

Events within your neighbourhood throw a surprise or shock your way. What happens will cause a moment's alarm but you will quickly pull yourself together as people rally around, coping admirably with whatever needs to be done to sort order out of chaos. The other thing that amazes you is how emotional it all is. It's one of those experiences you will never forget.

Your challenge, today, is to resist the urge to splash out on a costly whim; whether it's the latest electronic fad or a gadget you feel you can't do without, it's not going to be easy to keep your money and your hands in your pockets. Don't look, don't show an interest, don't ask questions otherwise the salesman will have you in the palm of his hands before you've left the shop.

Your usual weekend routine is likely to take some interesting twists and turns making this an exciting if somewhat stressful and unpredictable day. An offer from out of the blue will give you the chance to take on responsibilities you never expected to come to you. Give it your best shot and prove you're more than capable. The ultimate result: you will discover you've got an unusual talent.
