Take it slowly if you and a partner are making long term plans that could mean big changes in the future. Discuss all the pros and cons so you can make an informed decision together. There may be a need to consider the feelings of other members of both families. One thing's for certain: this isn't going to be easy for either of you especially when matters you didn't know about are brought to your attention.

There is nothing wrong with wanting a more simple life. If that means not having the latest electronic gadget, you will survive. Anyone who is so shallow to judge you for not checking your text messages and emails every hour or so, isn't likely to be good company anyway. The world isn't going to end because you are thinking of ways to make life less cluttered and reducing your dependency on technology.

To make the most of what's on offer today important decisions should be made without any further delay. Someone has spent too long deliberating over the pros and cons of new plans and ideas. You are ready now to jump in and test them out for yourself. It will be more interesting to put ideas into practice than to keep wondering whether or not they are viable. You need action and you will take the initiative.

Don't punish someone for not being able to explain their emotions. There are words you want to hear but they aren't ready to say them. Sometimes you can put a lot of pressure on others by assuming too much. Be satisfied, for the moment, for whatever anyone is willing to give; don't let them see you were hoping for more. Try not to take your frustrations out on your friends when they give you similar advice.

You don't know which way to turn when suddenly so much is being expected of you. Friends know they can rely on you to help them out in times of trouble. You've promised you would always be there for them but this is impossible when everyone seems to be having difficulties at the same time. Remember that people also respect your honesty so if you are finding it all rather too much, let them know it.

A person who has been bothering you is about to disappear. This may be an online stalker, an admirer who constantly pestered you even after you made it clear you weren't interested in them, or an aggravating neighbour. The circumstances are all very mysterious and you may never discover what happened to them, but you will be relieved they are finally out of your life. Evening social plans could be changed at the last minute.

You are open to new propositions that concern financial arrangements or your career. The moment you hear someone's ideas you will know these could save you a lot of time and money. There is also a lot to gain through watching how a professional tackles work you do regularly. They may have some interesting pointers that will help you further your job prospects. It could be to your advantage to circulate at work, especially if you are single.

You might notice someone has overlooked a few small details. Because they take so much pride in their work you are unwilling to point this out straight away. Your hope is that they will spot it for themselves. When this becomes increasingly unlikely you will have to tell them. Although someone will be kicking themselves for making a small error of judgement they will be grateful that you made them aware of it.

If you and a partner are best friends as well as lovers, you have a bond that will help you overcome anything. If you can say you have no secrets and you tell each other everything, even when times are tough, you will find a way to get through it. You've always been willing to adapt to changes. Being flexible to change together will help your relationship thrive and keep the romance alive.

It's not a good idea to pin all your hopes for the future on the one area. If it goes wrong, you're going to be left with nothing. Instead of focusing on a single goal, set yourself a number of challenges you might enjoy. This keeps your plans flexible and it also means there are other options available should some come to nothing. If you're meeting colleagues this evening, keep conversation to subjects that aren't related to your job.

Sing your own praises if need be. Be sure management realise your contribution towards making a team effort successful. Others couldn't have made it without your help and the gratitude coming your way will prove they know this too. Those in high places should also be aware of the part you played in bringing this about. It's about time you got the recognition you deserve. A partner will be pushing you to apply for a job they feel sure would be perfect for you.

Life does not have to be boring and predictable. If you long for more excitement, adventure or a change, it is up to you to do something about it. The door that takes you into the unknown is not locked and your way is not barred. All you have to do is take a step into unfamiliar territory and you will discover a wealth of opportunities you hadn't realised were always there.
