When you look back over recent weeks you might realise you are doing more for other people and less for yourself. You aren't sure how you got into this rut but you are ready to pull yourself out of it. Although you will continue helping others, there are other things you need to fit into your life.

You need someone who is causing most contention to step back. A difficult issue will be resolved if they leave you alone to approach the matter in your own way. It will feel as if at last the Sun has broken through the clouds. A heart-to-heart talk will help you find deeper levels of understanding in a close relationship.

A friendship no longer gives you any pleasure. You are tired of repeating the same experiences over and over. You might feel ready to end an arrangement that was once fun but has now become a bore. Growing and changing is part of life. You can't force feelings you don't feel anymore.

You sense it is time to make some changes yet you aren't sure where to start. You've spent a lot of time looking within when sometimes the first step to transforming your life is to work from the outside in. Start by considering your home or workplace. Breathing new life into your immediate environment can lift your spirits.

Becoming more resourceful is the answer if you are to make better use of your money and resources. You will admit to having been frittering away your cash on impulsive buys and this has got to stop. Tring to please an older relative is wearing on your nerves. Try to overlook their annoying habits for today at least.

You're determined to reach a self-imposed target. Even so, be careful not to step on other people's toes. A colleague and you have been working together harmoniously until now; you will want to keep it that way. Failing to consider what your actions might do to them could cause some resentment.

The success of a community project will be directly related to how many people get involved. If you are organising this venture or taking part, get out there and spread the word around. A pressing issue needs to be discussed with an expert or a professional. Create a list of key points before you go.

It's annoying to have to keep explaining your point of view in a team effort especially when everyone seems to have differing feelings. Despite your frustration it will be far more rewarding to have relationships with people who challenge your ideas than with those who always agree with you.

You may be asked to stand in for an absent colleague or for someone who has personal matters to deal with. Try not to be resentful. You might need a similar favour sooner than you think. Although you have achieved expert status in a particular subject, hide your impatience with others who are still learning.

Make an effort to get on with people from all walks of life. You can sometimes be very choosy about who you are seen with and about what you do. Someone who doesn't look capable will be the one who helps you in an area that troubles you most. Which just goes to show that looks can be deceptive.

Some situations can't be any worse than they are now and yet you are hiding how you feel about it. Suppressing your emotions is taking a heavy toll on your health. Make your feelings known if there are aspects of your job, family life or relationships that are getting you down.

You have given the future a lot of thought and you know what you want from life now. You won't stop until you have achieved what you desire and it will be this determination that will take you far. Your emotions are in evidence in all relationships and situations. People can't say they don't understand you.
