Fastidious stars makes this an ideal time to investigate different kinds of lifestyles. The best way to do this is to travel to an area, physically or mentally, that has always intrigued you. If you're not living the life you've always dreamed, you've got to take action. You're not getting any younger.

It's imperative you don't spend money you have been anticipating before it's safely in your bank account. There could be reels of red tape before the sum in question can be released, so sit tight. In the meantime, consult a financial expert for the best ways to invest your money. You need a strategy if you're going to play in the big leagues.

Just because you're an expert on a particular subject does not mean you're superior to your associates. Resist the urge to show off your knowledge socially. Exercise restraint otherwise your insecurity will show up on everybody's radar screen. Humility is a rare and precious asset; one that will stand you in good stead now.

You may have to pick up the pace for someone who has become ill or is busy with personal matters. Try not to be resentful; perhaps you should ask for a similar favour sooner than you think. If you feel you have been taken advantage of one too many times, draw some firm personal boundaries before they’re crossed over again.

Organising a holiday party doesn't have to be a chore; enlist the aid of a well organised friend or colleague to take care of the small details. Preserving your energy could bring about intriguing results in your love life. Taking your other half away for a romantic journey will open up a fresh dimension in your relationship.

If people are consistently uncooperative, consider the reason why; is there something in your manner that makes them defensive? You can get the results you want by changing your tone or attitude. The kinds of cues you respond to are not necessarily equally effective for those around you. It's time to soften your approach.

A legal matter could get out of control if you allow experts to influence your thinking, so keep your own counsel. You're better off consulting a less pragmatic advisor with such matters. The sooner you avail yourself of any unpleasant business, the faster you can resume your old way of life. Do yourself a favour and tie things up.

Resist the urge to go overboard with holiday spending; no matter how hard you try, you can't buy people's loyalty. Instead, think of ways you can improve other’s lives through thoughtful actions and encouraging words. These are the best gifts you can possibly give. Arrange to relieve someone you care for of a burden.

A close relative or a near neighbour knows more than they pretend, so don't let them off the hook too easily. The fact is, they are probably trying to protect you. People will be more forthcoming once you demonstrate that you can handle uncomfortable personal truths. Get a handle on your emotions and stop avoiding the inevitable.

At last you get the chance to discuss a pressing issue with an authority figure; create a written proposal before you go. You could finally increase your financial prospects, provided you're willing to take a stand. Don't hesitate to challenge the person in charge if they give you a series of lame excuses.

Getting involved with a charitable organisation will take your mind off petty personal problems that are plaguing you. Sometimes the best way to put your own situation into perspective is to witness the hardships that other people are going through. For every moment you play victim, another chance will pass.

The pressure's on, so be sure to organise your time well; otherwise, you'll be struggling to cross the finish line. You need all the leisure time you can get to prepare for travel plans ahead. Be prepared to receive some unexpected guests; the planets are conspiring to give you a physical workout - and I don’t mean just in the gym!
