It's the belief and conviction you have in your current goals which gives you the energy to succeed. Your untiring efforts to achieve won't go by unnoticed. There's something you're aiming for and you will keep on trying no matter what it takes. So if your best efforts don't seem good enough, it will just take more of you or a little longer to reach your goal! In financial and legal matters, hold out for what you think is right.

Keep your thoughts and feelings on a back burner and review them later. In some areas, it would be best to curb your initial reaction and hide your true feelings. Some doors are better off left closed until you're ready to open them. No matter what you or someone else is trying to conceal, sooner or later, all will be revealed. Once this occurs, you will have nothing to hide from yourself or from others.

Even if you don't trust what you see today, confusion is a good state for you to be in. Your perplexity causes you to look at things from different angles and to think in more diverse ways. From there, you can travel anywhere. If there's something you feel you must do, don't put it off until a later date. Yes there's always a tomorrow but there is only one today. Seize the moment!

If you're mixed up emotionally or mentally in a hurtful situation don't feel you can't just walk away. Ties to a person or predicament make it hard for you to quit but consider the consequences if you continue as you are now. Sometimes confrontation and even reconciliation can escalate a conflict. Your heart is ruling your head despite your attempts to be sensible. You need to view things from a distance. To do this you must walk away.

Community issues need careful handling; you might come up with the best ideas, approaches and solutions to problems. Your confidence and coolness helps you facilitate a group of people who are at odds with one another. If only you could sort out a personal dilemma so easily! But when it comes to a problem connected with your home you seem to be no further forward now.

Decide whether or not an associate is worth your time before you agree to do them any favours. If you're being used casually distance yourself from this person and eventually you will drift apart. If the friendship is worth keeping, expect to temporarily assume the role of teacher. You don't have to hit them over the head with knowledge. But you can and will help someone on their path to becoming a better person.

Happiness does not consist of a glut of luxury; appreciating the small things will help enrich your life. Try measuring the goodness in your world by its delights and pleasures and the love surrounding you. Don't miss out by mistaking commercially produced pleasure for happiness and joy. Loving yourself, appreciating your talents, respect for others and joy in service: these are the ingredients that will contribute to your happiness over the weeks to come.

Failure is the negative way to look on your current efforts; you are not failing, you are learning all the time. If your attempts aren't working and you aren't accomplishing what you set out to do, keep trying. Seeing things from a different perspective will bring new knowledge and insight. Anything in need of imagination or creativity will bring some success. Take the chance to develop fresh interests.

If vagueness surrounds you or if other people seem distant, the situation will clear later. You're preoccupied with private and confidential matters; losing yourself in thought will bring you a sense of tranquillity and confidence. Contemplative and spiritual exercises are all about stilling the mind. Occasionally in the delicious darkness of the mind you will see a glimmer of light leading the way to new aspirations.

Friendship is like a journey and one particular association might feel more like a long walk than a road trip! Although you are the initiator and leading light in a group interest, someone expects you to spend more time with them than anyone else. Their continuous queries and requests make you realise it's time you reorganised your life so you aren't so readily available to those who cannot seem to think for themselves.

Nothing is as 'sure fire' as you might think; you're deceiving yourself if you can't see the blemishes. Open your eyes and accept some things aren't as bright or as certain as they look. Not everyone will be as accepting as you are when hurdles get in the way. Being prepared helps you bring out the humour in just about anything. It's not a case of laughing at catastrophes; it's more like you can keep everyone inspired through the difficulties.

The feeling you get when you know something is going to happen shouldn't be ignored today. Call it instinct, intuition, gut feeling; some people have a stronger sense of it than others. Refuse to be fobbed off with feeble excuses when you are looking for reasons or answers. Sensing someone is lying or trying to deceive you is a useful gift to have with you, today. Learn not to ignore it.
