In recent weeks, you lost sight of your dreams. Mundane matters like work, sickness, and family responsibilities forced you to concentrate on the present. Now these problems are starting to recede into the background, allowing you to engage in flights of fancy once more. Asking friends to help you realise one of your dearest hopes is a wise idea. While it's fun to imagine what could be, it's even more satisfying to turn fantasy to reality. With teamwork, it can be done.

Your reputation as a compassionate, instinctive professional comes back in full force. For the past few months, you've had to assume a tougher image, turning people away for important services. This will all change today, when additional resources allow you to be more generous and it comes as a tremendous relief. Of course, you did learn valuable lessons along the way. Your newfound discernment allows you to be more resourceful with funds, goods, and services.

The desire to expand your horizons could take hold again. If you hate to postpone a trip or holiday, you can resume your plans now. The responsibilities that once held you fast are now lifting. If you lack money, apply for a loan, grant, or scholarship. Studying abroad can be a good way to see the sights without incurring lots of personal expense. Luckily, you're a natural scholar. Working in a foreign country is another possibility. Take this opportunity to learn a foreign language.

Money from an inheritance, refund, or insurance payment could finally land in your bank account. Be very careful how you spend this fund. You're better off investing it in a long term venture than blowing it on a splurge. Think about buying a house, setting up a retirement fund, or preparing for a child's education. Yes, such plans may seem boring, but they will lend permanence and peace of mind. Don't be swayed by a glamorous neighbour or relative who is probably up to their eyeballs in debt.

It's easier to feel sympathy for a lover, best friend, or business partner. For the past several months, the two of you have been talking past each other. Now you're finally able to reconnect. Maybe something about their situation reminds you of a similar problem you had. Perhaps your friend is starting to see your point of view. Whatever the reason for this breakthrough, enjoy it. It feels so good to get the closeness back that always gave you comfort.

Work becomes much easier now a confusing situation has been resolved. You can now resume your old work methods. Be compassionate towards a colleague who seems depressed. This person may have received bad news about their health. It may seem as though you're the only one willing to work right now. Stop dwelling on what others should be doing and focus on your own performance. If you are the only one pulling your weight, you will be rewarded for it.

You'll have more time for your favourite activities. Recently, you've had a hard time finding a balance between your public and private lives. Demands of work and family have forced you to put hobbies on the back burner. Now you have a little more money in the bank, you won't have to devote so many hours at the office. Finding good childcare arrangements can also allow you more free time. Don't feel guilty about wanting to have fun without the children around.

Home life will be a lot less difficult. Family members who kept giving you mixed signals about their intentions have put an end to their games. Now their cards are on the table, it's easy to make decisions with confidence. You may want to put some distance between you and an opportunistic relative. This person is playing on your sympathies for help. Unfortunately, if you give this rogue money or shelter, they'll continue to take advantage, regardless of the cost to you.

You'll be able to soak up information like a sponge. A subject that once eluded you now seems crystal clear. Perhaps you were being overly analytical. If a teacher attempts to impart information again, listen closely. Don't ask any questions for the first few sessions. Just let the words and visuals wash over you. You'll be amazed at how much you take in by using this method. It also helps that your instructor is a lot more sympathetic than ones you've had in the past.

The myth that money can buy happiness is fading into the background. Performing charitable work shows what you truly value. Being of use to grateful people lifts your soul like no shopping expedition ever could. If you feel overwhelmed by your possessions, you may want to donate them to someone in need. Nobody likes to feel indebted to friends so be tactful and diplomatic. Doing it anonymously is even better.

Let your intuition be your guide, especially in matters of your self image. If you're not satisfied with the way you look or live, make some changes. Don't worry about what others will think of these alterations. The important thing is to adopt a lifestyle where your tastes and beliefs are reflected. It's never easy being an outsider, but trying to blend in with the crowd also comes at a heavy price. Turn a deaf ear to friends who urge you to resume your old ways.

Coming to terms with your reclusive ways becomes much easier. Lately, people have been taking you to task because of your desire for solitude. Now you feel no need to defend this tendency. You know you need long periods of quiet to recharge your batteries. That's all that matters. People who love and understand you will respect this but you need to take care you don't neglect your nearest and dearest. Be sure to celebrate special occasions with them.
