You don't need to do anything to receive the rewards and recognition due to you now. Your past hard work speaks for itself. Although you shouldn't be too sure of yourself, you can expect positive results from your dedicated efforts. People are starting to recognise what you are capable of. Relax and let things happen.

Take advantage of a last-minute sale and you will find something you have been looking for at an incredibly low price. This is an excellent time to go hunting for bargains. Whether you have a special collection you would like to add to or you're knowledgeable about antiques or old paintings, keep your eyes peeled.

You're having second thoughts about joining in an annual event that will bring a lot of people together. Your hesitation makes you realise how much your attitude towards social gatherings has changed this past year. Your main consideration is whether or not this will be a safe and sensible thing to do.

Your common-sense ability to judge circumstances and situations will help you take the initiative without waiting for instructions or guidance. Some people will try to hold you back. You know you are making the right decision. When mixing with people you have never met before you will feel immediately at ease and in sparkling form.

You could do with a change of scene or routine. There's a sense of closeness in your relationships that makes you feel happy and inspired. Let routine chores wait for another day and take up a friend or partner's suggestion to do something completely different. Don't hesitate to take up an unusual offer.

There can be no better way of encouraging honesty in relationships than by your own example. Some plain speaking will be needed when dealing with close relatives or neighbours. The best way to avoid misunderstandings will be to keep communications honest and above board. Remember too, that respect is earned and not given automatically.

Sadness relates to a parting but you accept this is necessary. The fact that this has been planned for a while doesn't make it any easier. A friend or neighbour's words don't ring true to you. They are steadfastly sticking to their story but you suspect some dishonesty. Give them the benefit of the doubt.

A quiet walk by a river or the sea would help soothe your frantic thoughts. Even a walk in a park or in the woods will feel refreshing. If you can't get out, turn your mind to a pleasing memory. You don't have to withdraw from the world altogether, just accept the need for peace and privacy every now and again.

This isn't a time to hide yourself away from the company of others. If you've been keeping to yourself over recent times make an effort to see the people you feel comfortable with and any lethargy you may be feeling will swiftly disappear. Your brain will benefit from some spirited debate.

You've enjoyed the feeling of being there for someone who needs you. It has felt good to have been able to help make their life easier. Now you are recognising signs of them coming to depend on you too much and it may be time to encourage them to start fending for themselves.

Taking a long break will make you feel years younger. It will also make you realise you've been working too hard and neglecting your health. Now you've managed to clear away a backlog of work you feel more able to relax and have some much-needed fun. At last you can concentrate on the lighter side of life.

So many people seem to want your advice, guidance, help or support. You can't seem to escape all this attention and it's understandable that you are starting to feel overwhelmed by this. You will have your own ways of dealing with such situations and might decide to seek out a quiet place for a while.
