You can be open to your emotions and inner drives without being their puppet! Control comes through choosing what you do and monitoring your reactions. Blend common sense with sensitivity to put yourself in other people's shoes and to find sensible ways to help resolve their problems. Just as you manage your own feelings you might observe and process the emotional reactions of those around you. In doing so you could suggest a way for someone to handle a sensitive situation.

Health and work issues cause mixed feelings; try to keep your mind open and observant. A well intentioned workmate will give you some advice but they will advise according to what is best for them, not you! Despite their good intentions, their suggestions will probably not fit well in your case. They don't mean to be unrealistic but your situations differ and they aren't taking your personal circumstances into consideration. The best person to make decisions about your life is you!

A loved one who has a sensible head on their shoulders will keep you in line when, at times today, you get over excited! How do you choose the right path to take in a day when there are so many choices and feelings are high? There are a number of ways you could go. The final decision will have a lot to do with your desire to do something better with your life. You won't feel as limited or as restricted as you have perhaps done in the past.

Letting go of the extra psychological baggage which has been holding you back will be a liberating experience. You feel happier and free once you're able to push resentment, bitterness and old upsets behind you. So much has been weighing heavily on your shoulders, keeping you stooped and disillusioned. Once this lifts, you can straighten up and move forward with renewed energy and enthusiasm.

You're intrigued by someone you meet by chance or a person who is introduced to you by a friend. You don't know a lot about them but you feel you've known them all your life! A Venus/Neptune link provides the ideal conditions in which to fall in love but you don't yet know it all. The picture you have of someone is the one they want you to see. Discovering more, could shatter the romantic illusion. If you're attached, a relationship gets exciting and rewarding.

Any blocks in your life now may be of your own making and once you realise this, you can do something about it. You can't keep blaming your tools when mistakes are made if others manage quite adequately using the same equipment! If and when you encounter stumbling blocks today, don't refuse to listen to what other people have to say. Bearing in mind their useful suggestions could help you overcome your difficulties and you will achieve something positive.

Good manners might conceal your real feelings but is this being honest with those around you? Not saying what is on your mind for fear of hurting someone could cause problems in the future when others find out you haven't been honest with them. If you're asked for your opinion, be as truthful as you can in as diplomatic a way as possible! Of course there are always occasions when the odd little white lie helps pacify people but today honesty is the best policy.

You need to know that the path on which you are currently walking is in your best interest. You don't want to feel as if you have lost your way in a few months time. Help someone offers you isn't the kind of assistance you were expecting and they're making you confront issues you don't want to deal with. Don't walk away. In spite of any pain facing up to the truth might cause you, it is exactly what's needed to correct your course.

There's a competitive spirit in the air but it's not about winning the game or scoring the highest points this week. How you play the game and taking part will be of more consequence than the results. New experiences and meeting people could lead you to forming new goals for the future. If you're due a test or examination, thorough preparation beforehand will be half the battle won!

If a friend, colleague or loved one is depressed or downcast, you will be feeling their hurt too because you're so sensitive to other people today. There will be moments when you won't be able to differentiate between their feelings and yours. To close your heart to protect yourself from feeling other people's pain would be depriving yourself of feeling. Friends will see you in a new light because of the sensitivity you're showing them now.

Intuitive responses move you to act today and you won't ever feel you're making the wrong decision. You are learning to trust your hunches and if anything, you could be surprised at how perception or a sixth sense can sometimes be more reliable than reason. When in doubt, don't and when you are certain, act. Don't feel obliged to explain why. Some things are best kept to yourself!

A predicament could cause you some distress or disappointment but you will get over it. You may have to find it in your heart to forgive someone for a wrong they have done you in the past. Even they will know it's asking too much of you to forget but if you can forgive, there is more chance you will both be able to put this incident behind you and move on.
