Any desires you have recently felt to travel or improve your knowledge come to the fore. You might want to put more study into subjects currently unfamiliar to you. Or you could broaden your experience through travelling to and exploring new areas. Whatever your intention, don't expect quick results. Look on today as a time of planning rather than action.

A money puzzle will be resolved soon. Someone close might ask for your advice about selling a personal belonging. You will instinctively know what they should do. A friend is in an extravagant mood. They might be spending money as if it grew on trees but you don't have to follow their example. In financial affairs, be guided by your own instincts today and over the weeks ahead.

Good opportunities are in store over the next two weeks as you get the chance to develop new relationships. There will be opportunity too, to improve on friendships and partnerships that already exist. Where there has been disagreement, you will bring conflict to an end. Joining forces with someone, either for business or pleasure, seems a good way to continue with a project you can't complete on your own.

A talent you have only used for personal pleasure could find a practical and profitable outlet at work. Up until now you may not have given yourself a lot of credit for a skill in which you are proficient. A colleague or someone in your social circle could suggest a money making application for your talents. This could turn into a good little earner in the weeks leading up to Christmas.

Even though you aren't expecting it, all the love and loyalty you show to close friends and family will be repaid. This will leave you in no doubt about how much you are cared for. Life starts to assume a more easy going pace but for how long? If you anticipate the last few weeks of the year are going to be hectic, take the chance to relax when you are able.

You will be consistent and resolute when making decisions at work and concerning domestic affairs. Other people will try to get you to change your mind but you won't budge. Loved ones feel secure in the knowledge you know what you are doing and they can rely on you completely. You may have less success with an awkward colleague who is convinced they know better than you.

You could make some useful new connections at social and business events today. Someone will make it clear they respect your opinions and value your advice. You will feel more confident and optimistic as a result. This is a good day for reaching agreements with others. This evening invite a new neighbour around and get to know them better.

It is time to take legal action if a financial or other dispute still needs to be settled. The best thing you can do is arrange legal representation and put the matter in the hands of experts. With the help of a professional you could reach an agreement sooner than expected. Money matters will improve as a result of today's difficult but successful dealings.

You are keen to start on plans or a project that means a lot to you. Accept the fact that slight setbacks are likely. These could delay things. At the same time, such hindrances will force you to pay attention to minor but important details. Small problems could combine to become costly or time consuming to resolve in the future. For this reason don't try to cut corners!

You can realise an important goal and you will insist on doing this on your own. Help is at hand should you need it but this is something you will prefer to carry out single handedly. Sometimes the only way to discover your true potential is by getting on without people making it easy for you. Today, you will feel proud of your efforts and more confident about your abilities.

An abundance of social invitations are coming your way; you can't possibly accept them all. A friendship that has been tense of late shows signs of getting back to normal. Take advantage of the good mood around you to bury the hatchet. Preparations for an upcoming celebration are set underway giving you plenty to think about this evening!

A newly acquired skill opens up new professional horizons. New targets are set and you might wonder whether you are expecting too much from yourself. Don't be afraid to trust your instincts. Whatever you imagine for yourself, you can achieve through the power of positive thinking. Decisions made and actions taken today will be the first step towards a new future.
