A lot happens quickly and spontaneously but you are exerting control within the scope of your influence. As long as you are able to make decisions, you will have the confidence of knowing you have the advantage in contentious situations. The way is open for you to launch new projects successfully. A slight risk is taken; these fortuitous consequences should not fuel you to take similar chances in the future.

If giving up your financial security is the price you pay to realise a materialistic dream, is it worth it? You probably had no idea at the start of the sacrifices you'd have to make. Problems you're faced with need a cool head. The right decision could be a weight off your shoulders. What you learn is perspective and what's important in your life. It's a wonderful feeling not to be weighed down by possessions or commitments. It's a liberating experience.

Even if it means more education or getting specialised training, make the most of your natural talents. Spending time brushing up on old skills which may have become rusty could bring future rewards. Members of your family will be helpful if you must change future routines to fit around classes and other commitments. You won't regret the extra effort put into new endeavours. Even if you don't feel hale and hearty, health problems will be satisfactorily handled.

A newcomer to your social circle turns out to be an expert at taking care of practical details. Others are in an efficient mood and this makes it possible to increase productivity and income. If you're looking for romance you stand a good chance of meeting a charismatic new lover. If you've been contemplating getting married, delay no longer; you have found the partner who is right for you.

Tension will be eased by getting out of the house or taking the day off work. Remaining cooped up in the same place for too long will make you feel stifled and irritable. You want nothing more than to escape routine responsibilities even if for no more than a day. Should someone show concern that you aren't your normal self try not to snap their head off. Take it as a compliment that they care.

A group project is behind schedule; you keep hitting setback after setback. You're questioning the roles people play and how projects are being held up because of someone's carelessness or lack of professionalism. If currently all is at a standstill when you should be seeing results, consider the reasons. Decide what's preventing the work from proceeding and the solution will suddenly be plain as day.

You hate not being there for loved ones; when everyone wants you at the same time, someone's going to feel let down. Your problem these days is you can't say no. This is digging you deeper into a hole that's almost impossible to climb out of. What you lack is will and distinction. Decide what and who is important to you and what's not. Then start practising saying no! Soon you will be turning drawbacks into advantages.

You won't want and can't afford to have your hopes and dreams spoiled by pessimists. Just because friends and loved ones don't share your goals doesn't mean they know what's best for you. You can accomplish your aims without their support if they won't give it. Make a public commitment that there is something you intend to do and no one is going to stop you. Following your heart boosts your spirits.

Heading off to parts unknown would satisfy a longing for something completely different. It's not healthy for you to follow the same routine each day without having anything to look forward to. Fulfil obligations but set aside some time in your future schedule for more pleasure and relaxation. If you're a workaholic, you need to adjust your attitude and think about your health.

Someone can't see how closed minded they're being despite your attempts to get them to see reality. Keeping an open mind helps you aim not just for happiness but for a better life. You're able to look around and see the opportunities that can be found in various forms and guises. Don't let anyone hold you back or thwart your ideas. A seed of hope planted now may not bear fruit overnight but you will see the benefits in the future.

Someone you care for is standing in the way of your dreams. They may be doing this with the best of intentions but is this justification for preventing you doing what you want to do? Why is it so important to them to make your decisions for you? It's time you stopped listening to their prophecies of doom and trusted your own intuition. New ideas and new solutions to old problems will start flashing through your brain.

If you don't feel comfortable with the ideals and values of the people around you, you could always leave. If there's something wrong in your life or something recently started isn't working, it's time to cut your losses. You'd get more pleasure out of getting up and going elsewhere or doing something other than hanging around knowing you're in a place that isn't right for you.
