You're in an extremely feisty mood, wanting to launch a few projects at once. Unfortunately, your home life is forcing you to scale back plans. Instead of falling victim to your disappointment, focus on giving your family the extra love, care and attention it wants. By the time the weekend is over, you'll wonder why you were so anxious to venture out of your comfort zone. Happiness is in your own back yard.

You've got a vivid imagination that serves you well in the workplace. Coming up with creative solutions to knotty problems should be no problem at all. You may even discover a way to pay off a heavy debt in a relatively painless way. Be diplomatic about delivering disappointing news to a neighbour or sibling. Your plain-speaking ways are helpful in most situations, but this one requires a little extra finesse.

Letting go of the past will be really liberating, even if it costs some money. Get rid of any possessions that have been causing you pain and meet any financial obligations that have been hanging over your head. Although such actions require an element of self-sacrifice, what you'll get in return will be far more precious: your independence. A healthier lifestyle awaits you. Don't let material concerns prevent you from realising it.

Refusing to delegate jobs will get you in trouble with the powers-that-be. Authority figures are more impressed when you juggle responsibilities in a way that supports the whole team. Mixing with a creative group of people will make you feel less insistent about assuming the weight of the world on your shoulders. Let your friends encourage you to get in shape, exercise your imagination, and push past self-imposed boundaries.

Your sex appeal draws admirers from every corner, but you're focused on just one love interest. It's important to fight any impulses that have undermined previous relationships. If you're convinced things will go wrong, they probably will. If you're determined to learn from your past mistakes you'll enjoy a level of give-and-take that is enormously fulfilling. Your loving rapport will extend to the bedroom, too. Good sex is all about open communication.

You're eager to help people in any way you can, but don't be so quick to lend a friend money. Otherwise, you will drive a permanent wedge in an otherwise healthy relationship. The fact is, most pals can't handle being financially indebted to each other. Offer assistance in another form. Whether it's running errands, lending a shoulder to cry on, or simply providing a sounding board is immaterial. Your contributions are invaluable.

Always agreeing with an authority won't necessarily win their approval. In fact, you're more likely to get their respect if you voice your opposition to some ill-conceived plans. Fortunately, you are able to get your ideas across in a clear and powerful way. Spend some leisure time with a child who is feeling extra sensitive. Colouring, reading, or working on a puzzle together can be a catharsis for you both.

Finding resourceful ways to use your money makes you feel a lot more secure about the future. Contrary to popular belief, new and expensive isn't necessarily better. You can get a great deal of satisfaction from repairing and refurbishing existing possessions. Don't trick yourself into thinking you can't acquire valuable skills. Anybody can learn how to do repairs. All it takes is a positive attitude and a trip to the library.

Fear of the future is preventing you from making some necessary changes. Until you distance yourself from an intense relationship, though, it will be impossible for you to achieve the emotional and financial security you desire. Reassuring words from a sibling or a friend will give you the courage to assert your authority. Don't be surprised if you feel years younger after you've made the initial break. Dependency ages you.

It feels like a loved one isn't giving you the emotional support you want. Actually, they're just not enabling your self-destructive behaviour. Instead of letting you wallow in self-pity, your partner is determined to push you towards the next level of achievement. This may require issuing some harsh assessments. Thank your lucky stars that you've got this person in your corner. If you didn't, you'd be stuck in a terrible rut.

Your energy level is somewhat low, prompting you to scale back your activities a bit. Don't be so intent on being perfect. It's fine to let details fall through the cracks today. The less vigilant you are, the more creative you'll be. In fact, you may even stumble on a way you can travel a long distance for very little money. Call up a friend and arrange a visit. It's time to catch up!

Increased responsibility for your loved one could make you anxious and tired if you're not careful. An important part of any relationship is love for yourself as well as your partner. Be sure to factor in a little private time to each day. This will help you fulfil your obligations with a generous and open heart. It's difficult to be helpful when you're consumed by resentment. Do something nice for yourself on a regular basis, even if it means waking up earlier.
