It has taken some time but you now feel you have cleared the slate, ready for a fresh start in your personal life. There will be times over the next few weeks when you will feel a strong need to tuck yourself away and get on with your life without interference from others. Strangely enough, people will accept the plans you are making without the objections you had been expecting.

A recent restrictive regime of having to abide by the wishes of others is starting to pass. Today, you have more freedom to follow your own inclinations. Your patience and hard work of the past pays off as you are rewarded and applauded for your effort. Even so, it is time now to move on and to go with changes that bring you more personal fulfilment.

From today onwards any extra responsibilities you take on will mean you have to work a lot harder. Your professional life will take up a lot of your time and energy. New opportunities will be opening up for you these next few weeks. It will become clear that people who matter do appreciate your talents and abilities and your spirits will be greatly restored!

Variety is what you will crave today and over the next two weeks, routine is starting to bore you. The days ahead will be best spent away from familiar surroundings. You need to be on the go. You need new experiences and you will want to cram as much variety as possible into the days. Getting away from it all is not only important but necessary at times!

Your involvements with other people over the next few weeks will focus on financial and legal affairs and settlements. Some of the changes taking place at this time will be daunting. You need to have a clear awareness of what you want from the future if you are to stay focused on your goals. A lot of what takes place will be outside your control but if you stay alert you will have more influence.

You could be in an over sensitive mood today, reading too much into what other people say. Try not to take the remarks of others so seriously. You can't seem to get on with a partner; is it a case of taking your mood out on the ones you love? Guard against taking offence where none is intended and avoid using stinging remarks when a more temperate turn of phrase would do!

A busy phase begins or continues if lately you have been rushed off your feet! If you start the day wondering where you will find the energy to cope with it all, you should notice an increase in stamina around noon. If there has been confusion about who does what, you will feel more certain about what is expected of you by the end of the day. Over the weeks ahead keep on top of health matters and dental check-ups.

Your personality shines like a star today attracting new friends your way. The social and romantic side of life will bring you a pleasing amount of happiness over the next two weeks. Exciting developments in a friendship could be the result of, or cause of a journey or a holiday. A loved-one may make a dramatic pronouncement that takes you completely by surprise.

Plans you have been making are put into action and this could bring about a change in your lifestyle. This might be anything from moving in with a partner, a change of job or a promotion. What occurs today will have a major affect on family life and new routines must be established. Where there has been problems or discord, matters will start to improve dramatically.

Study assignments and jobs requiring research and concentration are the ones that will progress now. Over the weeks ahead you will find it easy to gather the information necessary to complete such projects. Messages and phone calls will be important; there is a need to scrutinise all communications so as not to miss important details.

The shops are calling but you won't be careless in the way you spend your money! You will make a point of comparing prices whether your purchases are large or small. There are bargains to be had and you will make it your job to find them. As long as you've got your sums right and you have investigated the matter carefully, this is a good time to make a major purchase.

You can dare to dream impossible dreams today. If you want something to happen you can make it happen through the power of positive thinking. Make good use of your energy to get a special cause under way. You might sense some competition in the air but you are well ahead of your competitors. Only those closest to you should be permitted to know your secrets.
