You're consciously avoiding thinking about something to try and escape it. You want to resolve a problem but you won't be anywhere near reaching a solution if you don't put thought into it. For all you know, it might be easier to find answers and resolutions than you thought. Don't worry too much about explaining your reasons as this can be really exhausting. Look at the circumstances, consider what you are faced with and decide on what you're going to do about it.

The people you're mixing with now are those who embrace goodwill for others and are peaceful in their ways. There will be a sense of calm and amity that isn't always easy to find in your world today. Witnessing an act of kindness where there is no pretension or conscious effort whatsoever, just compassion and genuine concern makes you glad to be a part of a new group or organisation. Voluntary work of any nature is fulfilling now.

Imagine the day ahead as a pure, white and blank canvas; how would you really like to see it filled? You have the materials: paints, brushes and equipment to paint that canvas how you deem best. Tap into your creativity and act on ideas that will make this a day to remember. It's up to the artist in you to colour and execute that piece of art for it to become a masterpiece in your heart. The day is what you make of it, be sure to enjoy!

When you know you've tried your best to communicate with someone and they aren't responding, it's time to give up. You can't keep wasting your time on people who aren't willing to make any effort to understand you or what you're trying to do, jointly. The more contrary they are, the more excuse you have to turn around and walk away. Get on with your own life until they show more interest. You don't have to leave them behind altogether; leave the door open a crack so they can come back if they choose!

Use your imagination and you could look at your life and relationships in a way that make them seem far from mundane. If relationships have fallen into a rut, find new things to talk about, join a group of like-minded people, share fantasies and dreams and think about ways of turning these into reality. If you're on your own, take a walk and see what you can imagine into the scenery. Life doesn't have to be dull if you exercise your rich imagination!

You're dealing with people who have very different viewpoints today; it won't always be easy. Some will have a fairly broad minded view to matters being discussed, others are closed and unable to see things from any perspective but their own. You understand everyone is different, some more cautious than others, some more willing to take risks but because of the huge diversity existing in your environment today, finding a compromise will be a lengthy process.

It's hard to get in touch with the contentment you've recently been feeling; something's making you a little down today. Where have all the flowers in your life gone? Happiness wilts unless you water it daily. Could it be you aren't seeing as much of your lover or a close friend as you would like and disappointment or suspicion has sneaked back in, during an unguarded instant? Push any negative thoughts behind. Remember the good times and tell yourself there will be many more of these to come, in the future.

A friend is conspicuous by their absence; at a time you need them most, they aren't there for you. You've always been there with a shoulder to lean on when others have needed it and you've rarely expected the same in return. Even so, today, you could really do with getting a friend's help, advice or support. The fact they are aware of this and have made no effort to make themselves available tells you a lot about this friendship.

Putting your problems on the back burner won't help today, neither will walking away from them. You're trying to ignore some strong emotions that are burning deeply inside. Instead of putting itself out, the fire could just catch onto something else and cause you to flare up and say things you'd have rather kept secret. The best thing you can do is discuss your thoughts and feelings with someone who understands what you're going through. Don't bottle them up any longer.

If you're single and searching for love you won't find it by hiding away from the world! Get out with friends, mix in new circles and be sure to get yourself seen. There's every chance, if you make the effort to socialise, someone you're introduced to soon, will put the sparkle back into your life! If you're attached, you and your partner could be sharing some special, private news today. As a result your lovemaking will be more passionate and meaningful.

Talk and decision making might involve living arrangements and domestic routines for the weeks ahead. You might not be looking forward to entertaining a visitor who intends to stay a wee while. Focus on the positive aspects of this relationship because continuing in such a negative vein will only cause eventual problems between you. If this person is awkward and demanding, resolve with yourself from the start that you won't give in.

Don't place restrictions on your imagination or censure your ideas. The more spontaneous you are today, the more enthusiastic and encouraging the response will be. Career, family and social affairs can all be improved through some divergent thinking. Listening to the ideas others are willing to share will give you new insights into their personality and into the joint possibilities that lie ahead of you now.
