You're not as daring as you have been in past months, and with good reason. It feels as though the rules of the games are changing. It's better to keep a low profile and get a lay of the land before acting. Help that was once available on the work front could suddenly be withdrawn. Never fear; you can pick up the slack by rearranging your schedule. Don't neglect your health in the process, though.

For the past few months, you've been thrown together with an eclectic band of people. Now that the group is starting to break up, you're feeling a bit vulnerable and exposed. Don't make the mistake of drowning your sorrows in a shopping spree. Instead, think of ways to develop some unique talents. Whether that means adding some skills to your repertoire or venturing into new territory is entirely up to you.

The roller-coaster ride that has been your career is starting to slow down, much to your relief. Take stock of everything that has happened to you over the past few months. If you'd like to readjust your course, now is the perfect time to do so. Take any courses that will veer you in a slightly different direction. Start building up a portfolio that will gain you entry into another industry. Formulate a strategy!

You've been gaining all sorts of information at lightning speed. Now it's time to process all of that knowledge. If you think you've given a relative or friend too much say over your decisions, start taking a more independent stance. At first, this will put a strain on your relationship but they will understand why you've cut loose from their influence and praise you for it. Every relationship needs balance, even that between a student and teacher.

A series of sudden financial and emotional changes has stirred up your personal life. Fortunately, today ushers in a prolonged break, which allows you to catch your breath. You're having some misgivings about certain routines that seem to be a waste of time and money. Why not scale back these activities in favour of solitary pursuits that give you pleasure? A little private time can put you back in touch with heartfelt priorities.

A dynamic partnership that has been taking every ounce of your attention is starting to wind down. This gives you a marvellous opportunity to recapture some of your freedom. Stop listening to what friends think you should do, and start consulting your conscience. Resuming a neglected hobby will cause your self-confidence to come soaring back. You may even decide to turn this activity into a profitable business venture. You have the makings of an entrepreneur!

The erratic pace of daily life is starting to smooth out, making it easier to plan for the future. Embarking on a course of study or taking a trip may be tempting, but wait before making any commitments. Hidden costs and surcharges could turn a relatively inexpensive trip into a costly nightmare. Wait another few weeks when cheaper courses and travel fares begin to crop up. Make your money stretch as far as possible.

Your wild behaviour has been the source of lots of gossip lately, which secretly thrills you. Right now, you're ready to take a rest from your life of notoriety. Resist the urge to get involved with a friend's intrigues, as they could lead you down some dark paths. You don't have any problem handling controversy when you're the one pulling the strings. When somebody else is stirring up trouble, though, you'll lose control.

Jarring memories and unsettling feelings have made it impossible to relax lately. Fortunately, this disruptive period is coming to a close, enabling you to establish a comforting domestic routine. Resist the urge to seek adventure elsewhere; your friends and family need your reassuring presence. You've always had a knack for adding levity to awkward situations. If everybody sees you're able to have a good time while establishing new structures, they'll do the same.

For the past few months, you've been forced to make a series of split-second decisions. Now the Universe is giving you a bit of breathing space, which is most welcome. Slow down and enjoy these last days of spring; they will never come again. You won't have to go on a long trip to relax; you can find contentment in your own back yard. Stroll around your neighbourhood and take in the pleasures of home.

You've been relying a great deal on technology as a source of income. That focus is about to change, but you may need to have a more hands-on approach to your work. Fortunately, you'll enjoy this shift in focus, because it will force you to come up with creative solutions to stubborn problems. Lavishing money on a child or lover won't win their loyalty. They'll appreciate your love and affection much more.

Your starry-eyed idealism finally gives way to cold, hard reality. Instead of turning your back on practical matters, face them head-on. Try not to over analyse a partner's behaviour too much. Love causes people to behave in strange ways. The sooner you accept these crazy quirks, the better your relationship will be. If you're not in a relationship, it may be because you have unrealistic expectations of romantic candidates.
