A friend will mention you haven't been as lively or as passionate as usual since the year began. You have a lot on your mind and you might admit events are starting to get you down. While your thoughts are in such disorder it isn't always easy to show enthusiasm you don't really feel.

You aren't ready to commit to long distance travel plans or to booking a family holiday in case these are yet again cancelled. Someone will accuse you of being too cautious. You might change the subject or you will have to tread with care to keep arguments at bay.

Avoid spreading yourself too thinly over a wide range of activities. You could never be content when life gets habitual. It's hard to say what is normal these days but you're in need of something different. Just be careful that in your eagerness for a change that you don't bite off more than you can chew.

You might admit to not having made good use of your time. It isn't as if you don't have a lot to do but you've just not been very organised. If you plan the days ahead more carefully you will get the maximum out of each day. Just ensure that not all this activity comes under the heading of dreary old duty.

You aren't sure about how some plans are going to go but you are willing to give it a try. You're tired of being influenced by a friend who takes a negative view of anything they don't understand or are not interested in. Avoiding such people as keeping a positive attitude is key to your success and happiness.

Family and friends play an important role in your life. You may not have been able to see as much as you wanted of each other over the past year but that doesn't make them any less important. In fact you are more aware now than you have ever been of the value of your close friendships.

You've recently achieved a qualification or award. You should feel proud of yourself for having completed a training course or online workshop. Now you have developed new abilities and gained new knowledge you will want to put your newly acquired skills to good use in your work or in a volunteer capacity.

You're getting drawn into a friend's mind games without having noticed. Now you're starting to see what they are up to you. You may never get to work out exactly why they have decided to indulge in a game of one upmanship but a good way to handle their competitiveness is to ignore it.

It annoys you when things don't go as you are hoping. Something you are having to deal with isn't meeting with much success. You're uncertain about what to do for the best. Do you give up and hand this challenge over to someone else or do you try again with a different approach?

A new diet or health regime is not giving you a lot of satisfaction. You had expected, by now, to have made some progress. Are you focusing too much on the physical side? Start paying more attention to your emotional and spiritual needs whether this means spending more time with loved ones, meditating or going to bed earlier every night.

There is no need to feel guilty because you want something different out of life. If every day is the same as the last, it is understandable that a sociable person like you wants and needs more. Grasp the chance to take up an out of the blue offer that provides the escape you are looking for.

You can honestly say you have cut ties and an old flame no longer has any consequence to you. This is proved when you find yourself looking into their eyes and feeling nothing for them. You can now look forward to a new relationship knowing you have made the right moves and you are content with your current situation.
