Your personal philosophy is undergoing some profound changes for the better. All of a sudden, you're starting to see the glass is half-full instead of half-empty. And while your domestic situation is less than ideal, you can improve it by applying your optimistic attitude to household dilemmas. Refuse to fall sway to an annoying roommate or whiny relative. The more you smile in the face of adversity, the quicker your problems will disappear.

If it feels as though there is a sexual undercurrent to your discussions with a friend, you're right. This person finds your earthy sensuality irresistible. Be careful, though, because your amour won't take "no" for an answer, even if you are in another relationship. Harsh words are the only way to drive your admirer from your door. Of course, it's a whole different story if you welcome their attention!

A strong-willed but secretive person catches your fancy today. You can't help but be drawn to their air of intrigue. And while this sensation feels delicious, you must take care that you're falling in love with a person, not an illusion. Consider the difference in your values before embarking on a relationship. If you do decide to join forces, keep your money separate for the time being. You can't be too careful.

Overhauling your daily routine is the only way to keep depression at bay. Although you normally feel comforted by familiar surroundings, your current situation has become oppressive. Brainstorm with colleagues about sprucing up your environment. Ask for help when you come up against a creative brick wall. Above all, learn to delegate responsibility. Being a team player will pay off in profound ways, especially with regard to your health.

Your sex drive shoots through the roof thanks to someone's flirtatious banter. There's nothing that excites you more than a person who can match your clever repartee. And although you're thrilled at the prospect of embarking on a new adventure, you do have some misgivings. Maybe this situation reminds you of one that turned horribly sour. Perhaps you are moving too quickly when you should be erring on the side of caution. Honour your instincts.

Treat a drastic change to your home life as a blessing in disguise. At first glance, this shift seems disastrous. If you are patient you'll soon see many advantages to this new arrangement. Instead of falling victim to peer pressure, you'll be able to go your own way. This should come as a huge relief, as you're tired of trying to make everybody else happy all the time. Attend to your own needs now.

Be direct and forceful with a partner who seeks to steamroll over your emotions. You're tired of giving way to this person all the time, even when their intentions are good. The sooner you assert yourself, the happier you will be. A stern authority figure won't approve of your aggressive behaviour, but who cares? You've got one life to lead: your own. If other people don't like it, that's their problem. Keep your own counsel.

Major changes to business and financial relationships work in your favour. Ask for a pay rise or a bigger share of the profits. The bolder your request, the more likely it will be granted. Try not to be close-minded with a mentor whose methods are different to your own. By following one of their suggestions, you could have a tremendous breakthrough. You have to admit, the old way of doing things no longer works.

You've got tremendous willpower, so be sure to channel it in a positive direction. Whether this means making more time for creative projects or forming a stronger bond with a child is immaterial. The important thing is that you do what is necessary to be a little more spontaneous. You've always found routine work to be chafing, so why not mix things up a bit? Take care to protect your financial information from prying eyes.

Sifting through memories can result in some powerful realisations. All of a sudden, you see how somebody who appeared helpful had ulterior motives. Let this be a lesson the next time you deal with an overly solicitous person. You will be asked to make a personal sacrifice for a business or romantic partner. Consider whether you're willing to pay such a high price for companionship. The answer may be "no".

The things that once gave you pleasure suddenly don't seem so enjoyable any more. Maybe that's because your needs have changed as you've gained more life experience. If this is the case, don't be afraid to strike out in a new direction. A limiting daily routine is jeopardising your health. Perhaps it's time to find a line of work that allows you more freedom. Don't discount this suggestion until you've really considered it.

You're very determined to have a career that mirrors your values. Doing a job for money fulfils your practical needs, but does precious little for your spiritual health. It's time to find work that makes you light up inside. Stop underplaying your creative talents. Going into an artistic field can be both lucrative and enjoyable. It's all a matter of choosing happiness over public approval. Does it matter what other people think?
