You're starting to question some fundamental values. Just because your family instilled you with certain values does not mean you have to keep them. Develop your own philosophy. Devote your life to the people and issues that resonate with your beliefs. Some of your relatives may be hurt by your new direction. Don't get defensive. You have to march to the beat of your own drum. If your independence seems threatening, that's just too bad. Trying to please others is an exercise in futility.

Be flexible about scheduling appointments. You'll have to switch things around to accommodate someone who only has a small window of time to meet. You'll be glad you bent over backwards to accommodate them. Together, you could embark on a business venture that is both financially and emotionally rewarding. If you've been arguing with a relative, extend an olive branch. A sincere desire to forge a happier, healthier relationship can put you both on a better path.

Juggling the budget will be necessary. Cutting back on luxuries and conserving your resources can help you through this tight period. If you've been looking for work, think about going back to a former employer. You'll be able to hit the ground running. It may feel like you've regressed, but that's not true. There will be plenty of opportunities to advance your career. Right now, you have to focus on getting a steady income and paying off your debts.

Altering your surroundings will change your outlook. Take this opportunity to redecorate your least favourite room. Painting the walls a beautiful colour will stimulate your imagination. If you can't paint, think about covering the surfaces with beautiful artwork or a gorgeous tapestry. The more inventive you are, the happier you will be. Have you been thinking about changing your look or getting a cosmetic procedure? Postpone these plans until next month, when you could find the perfect professional to achieve the effect you want.

You've entered a watch and wait period. Don't try to rush things along. It takes time for an acorn to grow into a tree. In the meantime, take this opportunity to rest and relax. Normally, you enjoy the prospect of seeing friends and attending parties. That won't be the case now. You'd rather stay home, wearing comfortable pyjamas and eating comfort food. Turn off your mobile and pull down the shades. Having a little private time will give you an attractive glow that is hard to resist.

Spending more time with old friends can be therapeutic. People who have known you for years can give you a feeling of stability. Lately, you haven't been sure which end is up. A tumultuous romance or family matter has filled you with uncertainty. Part of the problem is your reluctance to demand the respect you deserve. While it's admirable you're always looking for ways to serve others, it's also important to be treated with courtesy. Stop letting a childish bully push you around.

You'll have to do some damage control at work. An embarrassing mistake can be rectified, so long as you're willing to back up your words with actions. Double check your work before submitting it. Check in with customers to see if they're satisfied. Ask your boss how to improve your performance. The more open you are to feedback, the easier it will be to attain perfection. The pitfalls that once ensnared you will vanish into thin air. At long last, you'll be able to move up the ladder to success.

You've been so excited about a trip or creative project you've neglected small responsibilities. Take this opportunity to answer emails, return phone messages and run errands. These minor duties can wear on your nerves, but they have to be done. If you're going on an overseas trip, make sure your passport is up to date. The last thing you want is to be turned away at the airport because of a careless oversight. Do some research into what to pack so you will be cool and comfortable.

Fixing broken items will save money and give you a sense of accomplishment. You hate all the waste that happens around you. Finding ways to make existing resources stretch farther can be an obsession for you. This can involve anything form inventing new recipes for leftovers to reupholstering shabby furniture. If you are in love, this would be a good time to examine your budget for waste. Start putting money into a holiday fund. Unless you earmark it for a special purpose, you'll just fritter this money away.

This is a good time to mend broken fences with a partner. Being more attentive to your best friend or lover is important. Although your desire for success is admirable, it can cause you to overlook the people in your life. Striking a better balance between your personal and professional lives is strongly advised. Not only will your relationships improve, but it will also make you happy to spend more time with loved ones. Deep down inside, you're very sentimental.

It will be difficult to carry out your normal routine. Emergencies and computer breakdowns will cause delays. When you encounter obstacles, stay calm. Call anyone who is waiting for work and explain the situation. The sooner you alert the public to potential delays, the easier it will be for them to make other arrangements. Your first loyalty should be to your customers and clients. If an old health problem flares up again, make some changes to your diet. Avoid sugar, fat and alcohol.

Instead of taking a step by step approach to a creative project, try a more scattershot method. Juggling several duties at once can be stimulating. When you get bored with one aspect, you can turn your attention to another area. A romantic interest from the past will try to make their way back into your life. It's gratifying to know your magic still works. If you're going to rekindle your relationship, be kinder and gentler with one another. It would be a shame to make the same mistakes.
