Encouraging others to say what they're thinking is no bad thing. You want to discover what makes friends and partners tick. You could start a new chapter in your relationships with a more realistic impression of other people's needs and expectations. If you're working, your boss is in a more acquiescent mood due to your willingness to see things through their eyes.

A breeze of change starts making itself felt within your job and professional concerns. Work will mix well with pleasure over the weeks ahead. You might take the chance to travel with or entertain your boss and other colleagues. Business functions have some fun social aspects. Take advantage of the chance to make new contacts. Often knowing the right people makes all the difference in your career.

Romance is in the air; luck too is the special ingredient that makes you feel everything's going your way. Your optimism reflects on your love life which will take a turn for the better these next few weeks. You may be in a quieter mood than normal this evening. You won't feel comfortable among a lot of people and you don't want to shout to be heard. A partner feels the same and they may have some ideas that sound just perfect!

If conditions at home have been following an erratic path, they will be more stable these next few weeks. If you're thinking of spending on the home, consider less expensive options than the ones you've been tempted by lately. Shop around and you will find similar and better priced items. Are older relatives being especially benevolent now or is it you who is being more caring?

Your imagination is working overtime; your creative spirit won't just draw the line at your job projects. Your home, hobby and spare time activities as well as your relationships will all in some way receive a boost from your inspirational way of thinking. Since you aren't feeling very sporty just now, an evening out with friends doing nothing more strenuous than gossiping gets your vote.

Finances are on an upswing; old debts are settled and you have greater control of joint affairs. You might soon start to enjoy more financial freedom without having to put so much of your income aside to pay regular outgoings. Finding the money to meet some difficult payments will now be a thing of the past and you will be able to look ahead with more confidence.

In romance, are you allowing your feelings to rule your head and if so, is this wise? Every once in a while strong emotions colour your judgement. Today, whether you are single, married or divorced you might meet someone you feel attracted to. To give in to temptation could mean you are jumping into a relationship you might later regret.

Lately other people have made their presence felt; you've had little or no time to yourself. You might now notice a distinct change in tempo. Friends and loved ones will be busy doing their own thing, leaving you feeling less pressured and more at ease in your own company. With others expecting less from you, you can relax. Today's trends are more in harmony with your lowered energy levels!

Everything points to the weeks ahead being sociable and friendly. You will be mixing with your pals and neighbours and there may also be the chance to get to know colleagues better. An offer to get involved in a group concern might be accepted although this may mean you have to give up commitments in other areas. New involvements will broaden your social and intellectual horizons.

The weeks ahead bring the chance for you to focus on a project that will go better than expected. Your professional life starts to take an upward turn; it will be important for you to pursue this trend. It won't take a lot of effort to achieve a goal you have been looking forward to reaching for some time. Friends and colleagues will offer their valuable support.

These next few weeks, you could be in for an interesting and diverse time. Your company will be in demand and new opportunities will come through your friends and acquaintances. As well as being left with several possible options on what you might do in the future a travel invitation is a one that will sound far too good to miss.

Once you've reached the point where you can assess your achievements, you will feel proud. It might take some time before you get to this stage but knowing you will achieve your goals is your incentive to keep going. Others are more helpful than you expect when compliments and favours coming your way make you appreciate your friends.
