Routine affairs and everyday commitments do nothing for you. You're in need of something stimulating and exciting. If you can't find anything of interest in your usual environs, you don't have to wait for opportunities to come to you. You could make an effort to make things happen yourself.

There's a hint of excitement in the air. You can't explain why but you have a feeling that something interesting is about to happen. Even though you prefer to take a practical stance and you aren't normally one to rely on intuition, you could be surprised by how accurate your hunches turn out to be.

New beginnings are being discussed and if these ideas have been brought up in conversations before, someone is taking a fresh approach. This makes it more likely that plans will go ahead. You're still uncertain about all of this and your stress levels could overwhelm you even before the project has begun. Devise strategies to remain calm.

You're uncertain about sharing too much of your personal life, preferences and interests with someone you've recently met. Something about them makes you feel they cannot be trusted. Go with your instincts. The less commitment you make with others, the less of a tangle you will have to unwind should you want out in the future.

There is no better time than the present to make that career move you've recently been thinking about. Don't leave it until the last minute to send in a job application. You can count on a relative who offers to do you a favour, later in the day. They will not let you down.

It's hard to summon your strength and show enthusiasm for busy activities now happening around you when there's a need for emotional rest and recovery. Taking some time away from it all will allow you to rest, relax and recover. Once you get your strength back, you will be able to go back to your dreams and goals and refocus.

A friend who is fond of colourful and chaotic design will want to talk you through their plans for the future. If you're about to join forces on a creative project and you're starting to question their tastes, this could be your opportunity to suggest your artistic leanings are very different and this might not be a good idea.

If you have a choice you will prefer to remain in the background rather than be in the middle of a large crowd. A job you are working on cannot be continued until you have the right tools. If money is tight it would make more sense to borrow rather than spend cash on something you will only use once and then never again.

You will not share a friend or neighbour's outlook on certain matters but you will keep some comments to yourself. You realise that all they want is a listening ear and you don't mind lending yours. It can be surprising when some people confide in you even though you never invited them to.

No matter what your age or status, any attempt to increase your knowledge through study, travel, or both will be enormously rewarding. Use your imagination, put your ideas to work and if people cannot offer you any encouragement, ignore what they might say. It is time to do what you want to do.

Opinions differ. Conversations aren't as harmonious as you would like them to be. It won't be easy to get your views across when someone doesn't seem to be hearing what you are saying. Getting impatient or annoyed won't help. If you want to discuss anything important with someone, leave it for another time.

You are never going to get the chance to work on your own ideas if you continually jump when someone else makes demands or asks you to do something for them. You aren't there to do their bidding and it's about time a needy friend or relative started doing things for themselves.
