The family scene warms up and there is a sudden change in domestic circumstances for the better. All efforts to get things running smoothly at home will start to pay off.

A male friend or colleague has some unusual ideas worth following up. Chances are you have been reluctant to follow his advice or suggestions in the past.

Personal burdens are lightened and you feel inspired now to pursue private objectives. You're ready, willing and able to seize any and all opportunities to improve your lifestyle.

You won't just be thinking of what you can do to make life easier, today you will act on your ideas.

Your imagination and creative powers are boosted to a new high peak. Your emotions are also sitting close to the surface. All this together could be a mixed blessing. You find it easy to express your deepest feelings; your thoughts are creative and resourceful. You're also too sensitive for your own good. It will be all too easy to fall for a hard luck story which at any other time you would have found highly amusing.

A group or social project or protest could stir your interest; investigate further. Keep alert for opportunities which could crop up swiftly and unexpectedly. You won't want anyone else to grab those rare and special chances. Despite an urge to get ahead, take extra care about other people's feelings. Someone is more sensitive than they look!

A stranger wants you to let them into your life; you wonder whether to take on any new involvements.

Someone from overseas might get in touch with news of an impending visit or an invitation you won't want to turn down.

Other people seem to be leaving it up to you to make all the important decisions.

If you've recently been discussing holiday plans why not decide now, exactly where you're going to go. Refuse to let anyone dither any longer. Even if you must rethink some plans, do so now. Some dreams and opportunities will pass you by if you don't take steps to make them happen. Make a decision and make a booking or you will still be talking about it this time next year!
