A relative or housemate might do you a gigantic favour; their generosity bewilders you. No one wants to see you lose out if you get the chance to make a dream come true; in fact they'll do all they can to make it easier for you. That means if you need a lift, a child minder or someone to run a few errands, just say the word and you will find a volunteer. Today's your day; make the most of it.

A change of scene could bring with it an exciting change of pace; you won't have much trouble adapting to anything new. A lucky encounter some distance from where you live could bring new possibilities; stay focused on the positive. That way you'll be inviting love and laughter into your world. Single? A business contact has their eye on you but it may be up to you to make the first move.

It won't take a lot to encourage you to enjoy a spending binge; a luxury buy is too tempting to resist. Someone will try to talk you out of it but you will rationalize your behaviour by reminding them of all the reasons why you deserve to treat yourself now. No matter what you tell yourself today, remember you will be responsible for all actions taken as there is no turning back.

An unexpected invitation is worth accepting even if it means you have to alter your original schedule. New expenses could put a serious dint in your savings; making some sacrifices in the future should help you recoup your losses. As exciting as everything may be, it's wise to reconsider and re-evaluate in order to prevent unnecessary problems over the weeks ahead.

Dramatic developments suddenly make you sit up and take notice; a sudden burst of energy helps you cope. Although a lot of what's going on won't be noticed by others, this can still be highly fulfilling. The secretiveness of it all adds to the drama. Focus on your long term plans to make constructive use of your energy. Personal affairs advance in a far more exciting way than ever before. Just guard against a temptation to divulge confidential information.

You get the green light for a humanitarian project you have campaigned long and hard for. Obstacles are less fearsome because you took precautionary measures in the past to avoid the most predictable problems. It's also a good time to start on arrangements to make an older relative's life easier in the future. Once these have been put in place, you will feel a burden has been lifted from your shoulders.

By refusing to give in to a pushy individual you can improve your standing in the community. You're alert, curious and full of nervous energy. This inspires you to introduce variation into your everyday affairs. Formal contracts made with influential people may seem formidable at first. Don't let this bother you as you will have little trouble putting new business plans into action. Expect some interesting news on the financial front.

Travel plans are up in the air and all because of someone's careless oversight. Hotel reservations and transport bookings should be made and confirmed well in advance. Your restless spirit makes it difficult for you to sit still. It's extremely important to do all you can to help resolve problems that do occur; relationships are improved through patience and compassion. Anger won't help in the least.

Keeping yourself active and on the go instils you with a good feeling. A conversation or observation opens your eyes to someone else's viewpoints. There are some things you should not have taken for granted about them. Persevering with a project others are starting to give up on maximises your potential. There could be some malicious gossip being spread about your workplace; ignore it.

A generous mood makes you want to go out and splash out on treats for all of your favourite people. Long distance phone calls, emails and letters give you a lot to think about. Keep an open mind to any offers made today. An in-law who has never been able to get on your wavelength in the past suddenly shows signs of starting to understand you. In turn you might discover a new and unknown side to them. Today it seems you inspire each other!

If you're a writer, artist, graphic designer or photographer, expect to enjoy a productive and profitable day. This is a good time to submit your work for publication. It might be worth your while to brush up on current affairs or topical issues in preparation for a big social event. You're destined to accomplish great things now and some excellent offers for branching out are likely to come your way.

A surprise visit from someone you care for is on the cards or a precious gift is received. You will want to savour the moment and make it last. Take care to open the wrapping and packaging slowly, tape by tape, fold by fold. When you reach the treasure inside it will have been worth the wait. Whatever happens today don't rush into it too impetuously or the fun will be over and gone much too quickly.
