Channel your energies into making your money stretch farther from now until the first week of June. Negotiating a better salary, getting a better price for luxury items, and refinancing credit card interest rates could net you more cash than you ever imagined. Step up to the bargaining table. You’re sure to walk away a winner.

You absolutely crave mental stimulation right now, probably because life has become a dull routine. Sign up for a class or investigate a subject that has always fascinated you. Your studies are guaranteed to put you in contact with strange and interesting people who can show you the way out of a bad situation. Your confidence is set to rocket.

A juicy secret forces you to be more quiet than usual; you’re afraid to open your mouth for fear of letting it slip. Take up a creative project that will focus all your nervous energy in one place. Your imagination is incredibly vivid and rich right now. If you have ever wanted to make money from an artistic endeavour, now is the time to try.

Remember that you are not alone, regardless of how your work or family situation may seem now. If you need help, all you need to do is reach out to friends, relatives and those who care. Stop worrying that you’ll come across as weak and defenceless. Everybody has their problems, including you. Your loved ones will welcome the chance to nurture you.

You had better brush up on your knowledge of a serious subject if you’re going to make a good impression on others. If anybody asks you a question that you’re unsure about, simply say “I don’t know.” Otherwise, you will come off as a con artist. You will benefit from an all night study session: the more you put into something, the more you’ll get out of it.

It may feel like you’ve just woken from a deep, peaceful sleep; you’re starting to notice things you once took for granted. Scale back your work so you can spend more time with those you love or who stimulate your grey cells. Taking a vacation with a young person can help draw you closer together. Go in with an open mind. Exciting surprises are ahead.

Your thoughts are serious and even a little sombre right now; has a big change caused you to question your basic beliefs? If so, know that you’re on the verge of a very important and beautiful change. By adjusting your attitudes, you will attract the inspiring and helpful people you need to thrive.

It’s terribly important that you vary your routine with your partner or your relationship could grow stale. Head off for a holiday, or change the way you interact. Doing things together can create the intimacy you desire. Approach your beloved with hope and optimism, as both depression and pessimism can be contagious.

You may have to spend more time at work than ever. Compensation may not come about in the most orthodox of ways but you’ll create the right impression for the future. Don’t expect remuneration to be handed to you on a silver platter, though, you have to ask to be considered for any vacancies or opportunities when they arise.

Arranging a bit of a ‘do’ could be just the thing you need to get you out of the dumps. Invite anybody and everybody you can think of. You may not know it yet but variety is the spice of life. If you don’t fancy all the hassle of arranging a party then gather your buddies around you and head for the best club or pub in the town and let it rip!

Your preoccupation with the past is preventing you from enjoying the present. Put the photo albums and sad music away for another day. You are better off getting out and trying new activities. By the time you’ve freshened up, your memories won’t seem nearly so sad. It’s all a matter of perspective and yours should be on those things you can change, not what you can’t.

Spend this whole weekend catching up on e-mails, phone calls, and letters; it’s vital to stay connected to others. Your communications will pay off by early June. A job opportunity, new dwelling, or romance could fall right into your lap thanks to your diligence. This is fine time to update your address book and shed those who only want you when they want something.
