The Moon's link to disciplinarian Saturn prompts you to get serious about developing your skills. The more responsibility you assume for the future, the more prosperous you will become. Learn a foreign language, take a home improvement course or sign up for a computer class. The world is your oyster.

Learning to manage your money is really a means to develop your self worth, so get started whilst you're feeling strong. You can't possibly be inspired to invest in your future if you see yourself as a perpetually poor person. Stop listening to those carping critiques in your head and start preserving your resources.

A gloomy outlook could drive opportunity away from your door, so do your best to stay positive in the face of adversity. Although you will have to assume a great deal of graft and duty over the next few days, your hard work and discipline will pay off. You can't buy good publicity; you've got to earn it.

Brooding or worrying won't help you overcome a persistent habit; you've got to grab the bull by the horns. Set small but reasonable goals for yourself, and keep a chart of your progress in plain sight. The support you want may not be available right now, so you'll have to be your own cheerleader.

You may be asked to turn away from personal concerns in favour of helping someone close to your heart. Although you are reluctant to hurt their feelings, you're going to have to voice some unpleasant truths to wake this person up. Turning a blind eye to their outrageous or lazy behaviour will only make things worse.

It feels as though everyone is depending on you to correct an uncomfortable social situation. If that's the case, then you have no other choice but to take this matter to the offending party. You're bound to experience some tense moments, but you'll emerge the hero by keeping your cool.

Changing your life's path or pattern is no mean feat, as it involves dedication, determination and sacrifice. However, consider the alternative. Can you really afford to defer your dreams for another day? You're getting any younger. Do whatever you need to switch gears; nothing less than your happiness is at stake.

You are going to have to pool your resources if you're going to finance an expensive project. Choose your partners wisely; the person with the most cash isn't necessarily the best collaborator. Make a list of the strengths you lack, and look for somebody rich in these talents. You're about to get a lesson in trust.

Let a person you love take advantage of somebody who is weak and vulnerable and you will become a guilty accomplice to their abuse. The respect of your peers is at stake. If folks think you turn your head from every injustice, they'll do everything in their power to steer clear of you. Can you live with that?

Resist the urge to throw up your hands in despair as your personal and professional responsibilities start to mount. This is actually a blessing in disguise. By proving that you can stay calm under pressure, you'll make a terrific impression on the powers-that-be. Exercise can help relieve the tension.

If your love life has lost its lustre, consider how you may be contributing to this growing problem. The fastest way to win admirers is to voice your own opinion. Going along with the crowd merely serves to dull your creative instincts, making you trudge through life like a zombie. Wake up and stop pandering to old whims.

Now that you're saddled with so many tasks and chores, it may be hard to find a reason to get up in the morning. Don't give in to your melancholy. Instead, surround yourself with inspiring images and set fresh targets or ambitions for yourself. Soon, your immense burdens will seem like small annoyances.
