Oppositions to Jupiter from the Moon and Sun have you torn between home and work but your best opportunities arise on the domestic front. Stop looking outside yourself for the happiness you've always wanted. True joy comes from enjoying the blessings that currently grace your life. When was the last time you gazed into the eyes of contentment?

Stop being defensive about your lack of education; the fastest way to correct the situation is to study. An imposing teacher or mentor could change the way you look at life if you'll only open your heart to his or her lessons. It's entirely possible that the assumptions you've made over the past few months are going to be proven incorrect.

You're so wrapped up in other people's lives that you may fail to recognise an incredible opportunity. Contrary to popular belief, luck isn't in limited supply; there's plenty to go around for everyone. The only difference between you and your more fortunate associates is a fundamental belief that the Universe is bountiful.

Falling behind on your work could have unpleasant consequences, so be sure to stay on top of things. This may mean getting up an hour earlier and putting in extra time over the weekend. Your spirits will soon pick up once you feel like you have regained control of your wayward situation. Stay focused.

Business prospects aren't looking good, so be prepared for a disappointment to crop up this week. Any setbacks are actually a means for you to get started on a creative project that you've been putting off. If you keep suppressing your natural talents or instincts, you'll sink into apathy. Work on your potential.

Watch your step with someone who has been newly admitted to your social circles; their motives may not be entirely honourable. You'll get a good grasp of this person's character by watching them interact with other people. It's an especially good idea to keep personal information under wraps for the next week or so.

You're not mistaken in thinking that a relative's antics are a desperate cry for help; your silence only makes the problem worse. Stop turning a blind eye and say what’s on your mind. Your honesty may jolt this person into changing their ways. If not, consider putting some distance between you and a loved one until things change.

A neighbour or colleague may arrive with an unexpected gift, but be aware that there are strings attached. If you feel you are being manipulated, say so. The person in question will be so surprised that they'll back off immediately. Just think upon this incident as a cosmic test of your ability to stand up for yourself.

The resources you need to finance a project could arrive in an indirect way; keep your eyes open for unusual opportunities. Stop making laundry lists of reasons why you can't move forward with a project that is close to your heart. If it's really that important, you'll find a way to make progress.

Quit brooding over a recent setback; people are poised to help if you are willing to ask for their assistance. Despite what you might think, there's no such thing as a self-made person. Your fear of being vulnerable to others is actually the source of your ill fortune; things will turn around once you come to terms with this demon.

An unsettling feeling is preventing you from taking proper care of yourself; reverse this trend while you can. You'll feel less defeated when you exercise and alter your diet. If you have a hard time getting motivated, pair up with a friend who is feeling positive. Their energy will become infectious.

It's no accident that someone’s sob story is preventing you from enjoying yourself; this person is trying to rain on your parade. If you continue to be drawn into their dim and dreary cosmos, you'll soon adopt their defeatist attitude. Do yourself a favour and remove this character from your orbit. Go toward the light.
