A lot has happened lately; the days ahead will be just as busy and demanding. For this reason you should pause for a wee while and decide whether or not you are doing the right thing. Some things you cannot change. In other areas you can take charge. Be certain you are on the right path. Also a loved one could be in need of some reassurance.

You are starting to tire of someone who constantly looks to you for support and advice. This person may be younger than you but they are old enough to start making decisions for themselves! If you are shopping today, you might find an item you have been looking for, for some time. Add a little variety to your shopping list and have some fun.

A friend or loved one raises objections you hadn't expected when you discuss your plans for the future. This causes you some confusion. You might wonder whether to change your arrangements to suit other people. Wouldn't it be better to continue with what suits you? It doesn't matter if you are setting your sights high; in fact this will be god for you. You need a new challenge and you will achieve your goals.

You won't resent an older relative giving you advice but you will hesitate about taking it! Other people mean well but if they're trying to talk you out of making some changes, they won't succeed. Your mind is made up. Only you know what's best for you. Going against a loved one's wishes may cause a temporary rift but they will soon come round to your way of thinking.

If you're thinking about expanding your skills or knowledge, this is a good day to consider how to go about it. You don't have to rush into anything. Finding out about the various options on offer would be better than grabbing the first opportunity that comes your way. Studying as part of a group rather than solo would suit you better at this time. It's also a good time to nourish one to one relationships!

It's a good day to take your career, professional and personal development in hand. You might feel you are getting the credit for someone else's work but do you not realise how impossible it would be for others to achieve without your help? A joint exercise has been successful and has taught you new things about yourself. It is time now to break away as you are on your way up and you need to prove what you can do on your own.

Just for a bit of fun, do something crazily different and pleasurable today. This doesn't have to cost you a lot. You can enjoy yourself with old friends or you might try a new social circle. Someone's unconventional outlook could be interesting and amusing. No matter where you are, you are the life and soul of the party. The casual, relaxed pace of the day will help you unwind and forget all your worries and cares.

If you're out spending today you will find the best buys if you shop in familiar places. A friend may want to introduce you to the exciting world of retail therapy at a shopping or leisure centre some distance away. You aren't keen to splash out and the cost and trouble it will take to get there will outweigh any savings you might make. If you want value for money, stick to what's familiar.

Take the chance to get some home improvement plans underway while housemates are so helpful and obliging. Joint responsibilities aren't as burdensome as you had expected when your partner does more than their fair share of the work. A worry that has been on your mind looks like being partially removed as someone volunteers to take a burden off your shoulders.

You are aware of all you have to do and you feel obliged to help others who are expecting it. At the same time, your energy levels are low. You would do better today to chill out and charge up your mental and physical batteries. Others are being selfish if they're putting pressure on you all the time without giving you the chance to take it easy. Today, you need to think of yourself and more importantly, consider your health.

Devote some time today to artistic, romantic or creative pursuits. If there has been some tension in romance, keep your partner within your orbit. Loved ones may not realise how keen you are to sort out a recent misunderstanding. They could be surprised at your tactics when you will leave them in no doubt about the depth of your emotions.

A pleasant surprise brightens the atmosphere at home; you have something to celebrate and look forward to. Events unfolding in the domestic area will leave you with a good feeling. You might decide to turn down a social invitation this evening. Spending quality moments with your one and only sounds like a much more tempting option!
