Take advantage, when given first refusal to accepting a project which is right up your street. Don't start thinking of all the hard work that will be involved, the longer working hours or the sacrifices you may have to make if you consent to this proposal. Spend too long weighing it all up in your mind and the offer will go to someone else. You're being given a great opportunity to better your life; take it while you can.

A friend or relative appears to have no thought for themselves; it is rare you see such altruistic behaviour. If you're asked to join in with some charitable efforts or to help support a fund raising exercise, you too, will be keen to give it all you've got. At times you might feel overwhelmed with all that's going on and it won't be easy to hide your emotions. When a number of people start working together towards a common cause, just about anything can happen and all of it good.

The detail and passion you are putting into activities is exceptional. This will be a time consuming process that makes the results all the more worthy of the appreciation and applause coming your way. If there is a financial angle connected with current events, don't let others go overboard in their spending. Continue the practical, common sense approach you are putting into such affairs to avoid making careless mistakes.

Step up your efforts towards a training or study course if you have fallen slightly behind. There's still a chance to catch up and anyway you've got a good excuse for letting things slip. Extra commitments have meant less time to fit it all in. Today there will be no problem finding the concentration and discipline necessary for all mental pursuits undertaken. Something which has been disturbing you for some time is resolved and you find other people more open in their communications.

There is an increasing realisation of how valuable certain friendships and relationships are to you. Contentment in the company of certain people brings a sense of inner satisfaction too. There's a sense of pride at being involved with someone other people look up to and an optimism about the future. No matter what you have been through in the past, it now seems you are with the people who are right for you.

Someone who always knows how to get around you is doing a good job of just that, today! A person has a gift for bringing a smile to your face and just being with them lifts you when you're feeling down. The fact they want a favour from you gives you the chance to show how much you appreciate having them around. Something you witness or a chance encounter will bring memories of your first love, or of your younger days.

Concern about a loved one's well being could inspire an interest in health, diet or new exercise routines. Your curiosity might be kindled by some form of alternative medicine; put a little research into this. Someone's being incredibly kind towards you and you may not know how to take this. Rest assured, all help and support is sincerely given and for this reason, try to accept it gracefully.

Is pulling out of a project a sensible option when you've put so much time and money into it? It doesn't have to be exactly as you planned and there will be ways of cutting corners to bring it to a quicker end. You've always preferred to finish what you start but you're being too much of a perfectionist. Don't change your commitments, change your methods. You might also think about sharing some responsibilities so you have more time for yourself.

In group and outdoor activities you find food for your soul. Someone is keen to join or take you on a journey. There's a place you like to return to regularly which is open, spacious with views that transport you to paradise. Just thinking of this venue fills you with delight. Your income is soon in for a boost when a career move or a partner's professional success will benefit joint finances in the long term. This may also mean taking on new commitments but you will welcome the challenge.

High levels of stamina will be needed for the difficult tasks you're taking on now. Because this will help you achieve something you've always wanted, you're prepared to face up to the difficulties and do whatever it takes to reach this goal. Sacrifices will be made, not just by you, but by those who are closest to you. This could have a detrimental effect on your relationships unless you promise yourself to stay aware of your loved one's feelings and to let them know, frequently, how grateful you are for their support.

Atmosphere in the home does not encourage any serious talks even if there is something you need to discuss. It's no use bringing up a serious subject when others are preoccupied and will fail to give you any attention. If there is someone who is likely to support you, make sure they're around before initiating weighty conversations. Save your idea to have a heart to heart until another time if you get the impression this might not go your way.

If there is a competitive atmosphere around you, it will be important for you to win. There is a lot of ambition, energy and power about you now. Be sure to channel this into your career or other important aims. Whatever you do, don't waste it. It doesn't matter that you will be expected to do a huge amount of work now and over the weeks to come; it will be worth it. A dream could very well come true, it won't be without a lot of effort but it will have an important meaning for you.
