A passionate relationship has reached a turning point. You're ready to get serious with someone who makes your pulse pound. If you already have a partner, do something special on their behalf. Send them to a spa or retreat where they can escape the pressures of home. This thoughtful gesture will be much appreciated. Spending time together is lovely, but absence makes the heart grow fonder. Give your amour a little breathing room. You'll both benefit from the break.

Delegate responsibility to others. You've always been the most capable person in any given organisation. This has resulted in your doing twice the work as anyone else. It's time to remedy this problem. There's no reason you should be expected to assume the lion's share of responsibility while everyone else is having fun. At home, be ready to give children duties they can easily perform, like setting the table, folding laundry or dusting furniture. These jobs will soon become a source of pride for them.

This is a great time to embark on a fitness regime. Giving up habits that have been undermining your health is important. Instead of trying to white knuckle your way through cravings, developing a coping strategy. Chewing sugarless gum can keep you from reaching for sweet snacks. Establishing a relaxing bedtime ritual will help you fall asleep easier. Setting aside a certain time each day for exercise will keep you from being too sedentary. A few basic changes will yield impressive results.

Quiet pleasures like reading, cooking and watching TV will bring happiness. It's important for you to take time away from work and domestic chores. If someone complains, tell them it's time for them to contribute more. You're tired of doing the job of three people. Happily, an opportunity to travel will fall in your lap. Visiting an ancient city by the sea will give you an attractive glow. Don't be surprised when you attract a number of admirers on this trip.

Beautifying your home will be a good use of your creative talent. It's important for you to indulge your love of colour, form and style. Don't hesitate to spend a little more than usual on luxury materials. You won't be satisfied with anything less than the best. If you've been wanting to buy or sell property, this is a great time to do so. You'll get a great deal. Moving to a place that is near water is strongly advised.

Putting your ideas down in black and white can help you process some confusing emotions. You're a highly logical person. This makes it difficult to deal with conflicting impulses. When you put down your feelings in black and white, you'll gain valuable perspective. Suddenly, it will be clear which path to take. You'll find it easier to confront someone whose behaviour has been causing you pain. Best of all, it will be easier to assert your desires. Always giving way to others will soon become a thing of the past.

Developing your inner resources is critical if you want to improve your finances. When you value yourself, you are able to command the salary you deserve. Stop doing special favours to get into other people's good graces. Be polite and cooperative, but don't give your work away for free. If someone asks you to contribute labour in exchange for publicity, turn them down. Do you have your own business? Raise your rates to reflect current market conditions. Stand up for yourself; nobody else will.

Be good to yourself. Lately, you have been pouring energy into friends, relatives and colleagues. Waiting on your nearest and dearest has been draining. Take this opportunity to take charge. Get a massage, splash out on new clothes or take a solitary break away from it all. By catering to your own needs first, it will be much easier to be pleasant with others. A wonderful movie, concert or play will be coming to your area. Make sure to buy a ticket before the event is sold out.

Instead of falling victim to self-pity, be productive. Take a small step towards a cherished goal. This could include anything from filling out a job application to applying to university to asking someone on a date. Once you set the wheels of change in motion, your confidence will soar. It's true you've experienced some disappointing setbacks. Nothing can change that. Instead of dwelling on your sorrow, use it as a catalyst. Great things are ahead. Give yourself permission to move forward.

Broadcast an important message throughout your support system. Whether you're looking for a job, want to find love or are seeking a creative opportunity is immaterial. The important thing is to let people know your desires. A friend, relative or colleague will be able to gratify your wish. You're always assisting others. It's time to give loved ones a chance to return the favour. Clinging stubbornly to independent ways will reduce your luck. Join forces with your nearest and dearest.

You'll be put in charge of a large group, which will be gratifying. Thanks to your organisational skills, you'll be able to finish a job that has been withering on the vine. Make sure to congratulate your entire team. When people feel appreciated, they'll work extra hard on your behalf. Part of the problem with the old regime was that it refused to take individual tastes and talents into account. Your ability to recognise the gifts of each participant will bring out the best in them.

Taking an advanced course will bring welcome intellectual stimulation. You're tired of doing the same thing day after day. If you've ever wanted to travel the world, learn a foreign language. This will give you the courage to book a trip you've been longing to take. Visiting a country whose culture is radically different from yours will be enlightening. It will give you an added appreciation for home as well as a deeper appreciation for diversity. Life would be boring if everyone was the same.
