Normally, you don't dwell on the past. You're too busy making plans for the future. Today you're in a very sentimental mood. Looking through old family photo albums, listening to your favourite music from childhood, and reading through old diaries will make you nostalgic. You know you can't turn the clock back but that won't stop you recapturing some golden moments with friends and loved ones.

Problems with finances could spill over into your family life. Try not to take out your frustrations on your nearest and dearest. It will be much easier to overcome this problem if you all stick together. Keep in mind that your self-worth should have no bearing on your bank account. No matter how much money you have, you are important. Stick close to friends who make you feel valued. A serious romance looks likely.

You may be hypersensitive, particularly with regard to a business or romantic partner. Let their teasing taunts roll off your back or you could wind up in a big fight. Before you get defensive, remember all the times you made jokes at your friend's expense. If you dish it out, you should be able to take it. A burst of energy helps you finish chores in record time. Spend a relaxing evening at home watching a sentimental old movie.

You may feel isolated and lonely right now. It's hard to connect with even your closest friends. It's probably best to stay buried in work. Focus on an important project you've been putting off for weeks. You'll be so relieved when it's finished. Celebrate by doing something nice for yourself, like buying a cool hand held device. Too often, you spend your hard earned cash on friends and relatives. This time around, you need to treat yourself.

Don't jump to conclusions about a friend. They have problems you don't know about. The only way you'll get her to open up is to treat her with care and compassion. This is a great time to apply for jobs, go on auditions, or submit your creative work for review. If you're going to buy something expensive, choose the more practical model. The flashier version will break or become obsolete sooner than you think.

Sacrificing your private life for the sake of public matters isn't as noble as you think. You draw strength from your nearest and dearest. When you keep them at arm's length, you lose touch with your nurturing side. Helping the people you've vowed to protect becomes harder. Do yourself a favour and put your work on the back burner today. Spend time with friends you've neglected for the past few weeks.

Although you're adventurous by nature, this isn't a good time to stray out of your comfort zone. You need to arm yourself with more knowledge before trying something new. If you're planning to go on an overseas trip, do some in-depth research into the place you are going to visit. You will save yourself a lot of heartache by doing so. A bureaucratic institution like a hospital, university, or government agency may finally give you the green light.

Yearning for security could be making you miserable. The longer you dwell on what can go wrong, the harder it will be to enjoy your current situation. By plunging headfirst into the unknown, you will encounter some powerful people. Somebody who is impressed by your attitude could offer you a new job. You would be wise to take it. Granted, you may not have much experience in this line of work, but you will get lots of help.

A close relationship is showing signs of strain. You may be asking too much of a business or romantic partner. If it's intellectual stimulation you seek, take an advanced class. Your instructor will challenge your assumptions and excite your imagination. You'll be able to use your newfound knowledge in your work. In fact, getting a graduate certificate could put you in line for a promotion. Never underestimate the importance of a fancy document with a gold seal.

You won't be able to avoid certain unpleasant duties. It's best to tackle them early so you will have some leisure time at the end of the day. Hidden enemies could be working against you. Make sure you keep receipts and make copies of documents in order to safeguard against sabotage. Romantic sparks are flying between you and a cool sophisticate. You admire their style, while they adore your dry sense of humour.

Normally, you prize your independence but a love affair may prompt you to throw it away with both hands. Don't be so quick to abandon your plans. If your amour really cares about you, they will find a way to accommodate you. Compromise is an essential component to any good relationship. When somebody insists on doing things their way all of the time, you can consider it a danger sign. Make a beeline for the nearest exit.

Don't be so sure your family's way of doing things is the best approach. Look to see how other people balance their personal and professional lives. It isn't healthy to relinquish all of your dreams for the sake of your kin. If you want to pursue a certain line of work, do it. Don't ask your relatives for approval. Forming a business alliance with someone who has plenty of hands on experience is a good idea.
