Lately, you've been going out of your way to satisfy your friends. While these efforts have been admirable, they've taken the wind out of your sails. You need to so something nice for yourself for a change. If you've been longing to see a certain movie or try a particular restaurant, go. Don't force reluctant loved ones to accompany you. You'll have a much better time on your own. If you're looking for love, you could find it on this outing.

For the past two weeks, you've been working feverishly on advancing your career. Now you're starting to realise how empty this goal is without the support of friends and family. Spending more time with your loved ones is a good idea. If this means cutting back your office hours, so be it. Your employer may balk at your decision, but it's only because he or she has grown reliant on you. There's no better way to illustrate just how much work you really contribute.

Letting errands fall by the wayside is wreaking havoc with your personal and professional lives. You can't afford to let messages pile up any longer. Spend the first half of today returning phone calls, emails, and text messages. Yes, life's been very exciting the past few weeks, but this won't placate the people who have been trying to get hold of you. An important document could arrive today. Consult a legal professional before signing it. There may be some complex clauses.

It's time to establish some healthy emotional barriers. You've been generous with your time and resources ever since the New Year began. Now it's time to adjust the balance. Buy yourself a little luxury as reward for all of your good deeds. Hire a babysitter and treat yourself with a trip to the movies. Splurge on an expensive meal. Don't bother justifying these expenditures to outsiders. Once you start treating yourself well, they'll follow suit. It's all about setting a proper example.

Lately, you've been lavishing attention on a business or romantic partner. The problem is, you're getting little recognition in return. It's time to turn the spotlight back on you, where it belongs. This may involve a bit of a struggle, as your friend has grown accustomed to being the focus. A Lion like you, though, needs to take the primary position. In the event you are dealing with a fellow Leo, you'll have to take turns exerting your respective star power.

It may be impossible to satisfy an overwhelming desire to be alone. Colleagues need your help. Shrug off your introverted ways and dive into the fray or you may be accused of being a snob. If you feel depressed or dispirited, it may be because you are isolating yourself from friends. It's time to get over the notion that you always have to be cheerful. Learning to share the difficult times with your nearest and dearest will strengthen your relationships, not weaken them.

It's important to make time for your nearest and dearest. That includes your partner, friends, and children. Recently, you've been wrapped up in an activity that affords great personal pleasure. While it's hard to tear your attention away, you must or you'll do irreparable damage to your relationships. If someone asks you to help with an arduous chore, accept immediately. You may have to cancel fun plans, but it will be a small price to pay for your friendship.

Although you've been intent on keeping a low profile for the past few weeks, you won't have that luxury today. Being thrust into the spotlight is akin to being doused with ice water. Summon your courage and speak plainly. You may offend somebody's sensibilities, but it's better than lying. If you're in line for a job or promotion, there may be some delays. Perhaps there is some confusion over your CV, or your application was lost. See if you can lend clarity to the situation.

You may be required to take a leap of faith, but you'll find it's easier said than done. Normally, it's easy for you to take risks. This time, though, you're being asked to sacrifice something very dear to you. The possibility your gamble won't pay off is ominous. Unfortunately, you won't make any progress if you maintain a cautious attitude. If you're scared, reach out to someone who has always had a good perspective on change. Their words will comfort you.

Paying an outstanding debt may not be easy, but it is necessary to your financial security. You can't afford to be labelled a bad risk. If you have to choose between repaying a person and a credit institution, choose the former every time. Your reputation is riding on this situation. In the event you're in a relationship, it may be time to attend to your partner's physical needs. Intimacy needs to be cultivated. Get the ball rolling with a romantic dinner for two.

An adversary could be blocking your progress. Although you've done an admirable job of avoiding this person in the past, it won't be an option now. Swallow your pride and extend an olive branch. Working together won't inspire a friendship, but it will build mutual respect. Being independent is overrated. What really takes skill is collaboration. If you have a lover, it may be time to give way to your partner's desires, although they don't suit your own.

You're determined to begin an exercise programme. While your initiative is admirable, you need to take a reasoned approach to this regime. Slow and steady wins the race. If you attempt to run a marathon after spending the past few months behind a desk, you'll fail miserably. The same principle is true if you try to reform your eating habits overnight. Consulting a health professional can make all the difference to your success.
