If you're suffering from a mental or creative block, you need to veer away from familiar surroundings. It's much easier to be imaginative after having exposed yourself to new and unusual environments or people. The chance to join a campaign or enterprise aimed at improving the lives of people around and about you should not be ignored. Take this opportunity to do your bit for your local community. Let others see that you care.

Having no real interest in a team project is the major factor making you hard to motivate. Others are doing their best to help. Can't they see what's important to them isn't necessarily of any great consequence to you? If you're presented with new ideas or experiences you know from the start aren't going to mean anything to you, the best thing you can do is leave others to it. There are better things to do with your time.

Money comes in and out as fast as lightning; you need to take more care of your finances. You aren't the only one who should keep a close watch on your spending. Someone in the family seems to have no regard as to how much things cost; they're splashing their money around as if the coffers won't ever run dry. If housemates' aren't contributing to the household budget it's time to insist they pay their dues.

To progress in your field, research into any sources which specialise in what you do. A serious mantle enfolds you. You might settle on a course of study to pursue an ambitious career plan. The chances of success are high because later in the year there are signs of a new job or position coming your way. You could even make a name for yourself through your talents or working efforts. Any sacrifices made to this end will be well worth it.

A new friendship could change the way you look at yourself; maybe you've not been giving everyone a fair chance. You may for instance have taken it for granted that those who are quiet and unassuming would fall in with your suggestions. All of a sudden it is brought to your attention that other people have other ideas but have lacked the confidence to say so. From now on you might decide to ask before telling them what to do. Asking for feedback is a sign of a good leader.

Someone's being overly demanding, issuing ultimatums and deadlines which might seem impossible to meet. No matter how highly you respect them, they need to be told they're being too tough on everyone. If you've always produced high quality work and dedicated yourself to the job, others should listen when you tell them what is and isn't possible. If they don't, perhaps you should find a better situation; one that feels more secure.

An assertive friend might encourage you to bring something which is causing you grief, to an end. They care enough for you to take an interest and they know what should be done to ease your burdens. If you're wondering why they're being so helpful, remind yourself of all you've done for them in the past. It's their turn now to do you a favour. Stop clinging to what has been or what's not working and start moving forward.

You're being too lenient with someone who seems to have turned playing on other people's sympathies into a fine art. Your kindness and generosity does you credit. Even so you aren't doing yourself any favours by letting them get away with the same mistakes time and time again. The longer this goes on, the more certain they will be their behaviour is acceptable and normal. The time has come to persuade others to be more considerate.

A partner is dragging their feet on a decision that has to be made. Whatever they decide, you will respect their choice. Even so there is little you can do until you hear from them. Subjecting yourself to this kind of uncertainty might make you irritable and touchy. You're tempted to push others into giving answers but you also instinctively know that the less pressure you put on them, the more likely it is they will give the response you are hoping for.

An official is making a decision which has a direct affect on your life; this is causing you worry and uncertainty. The longer they take to announce their plans, the more this kind of stress is likely to jeopardise your health. If you feel you can't take the situation much longer, look for a way out of it. Even if it means a resignation or just walking out, you're letting others know there is a limit to the control they have over you.

You have a good sense of discipline and those who've always relied on you in the past will be there for you now. It would be foolish not to ask for help when it's needed. People care and will be only too pleased to offer their assistance. There is no need for a complicated and time consuming job to be a solo effort when there are people around who actually enjoy being involved.

A creative project shared with others will be rewarding, but only if you all share the same vision. Art is subjective and whereas some people might love a particular style, colour or technique, others may hesitate and suggest a new approach. If you allow the experience to broaden your creative horizons, you could witness something you see every day being turned into something with a more visual impact, and it's thought provoking.
