Travel is one way of broadening a mind full of experiences over the weeks to come, but your brain will also benefit from a little exercise. Put your hungry grey cells to work by involving them in a training program or through more formal academic or scientific study to develop your mastermind.

I’m sure you’ve worked it out that money matters should be high on your list of your personal priorities now. If in the middle of some long-winded legal or financial transaction, keep up to date with current developments as an oversight on your behalf is your loss and somebody else’s gain.

Have you been feeling the need to do something worthwhile with your life but don’t really know what? Maybe you’ve been spending too much time analysing and not enough time ‘feeling’ the vibes. Hark to your intuition as your psychic-self will give you a clue as to which way you should go.

Others won’t know what’s got into you but you don’t intend to stand for any nonsense and you won’t be fobbed off with excuses or half-hearted apologies. Also, if there’s something you’ve always wanted to do but never had the bottle, pluck up the courage and get on with it this Friday.

Curb your impatience with someone as it will pay to play a waiting game. Don’t push those who are slow to get a move on or who hold the key to getting projects onto the next stage. There may be valid reasons for their caution they don’t wish to discuss, and they won’t thank you for pressurising them.

A secret venture will proceed brilliantly, but be wary of blowing your cover by offering advice or taking over the reins when someone is struggling with what they are doing. They may prefer to persevere on their own or perhaps it’s their canny way of getting you to do their job for them?

One way to find the excitement you need is to get as far away from familiar places as you can. You should be more active, exploring areas that are new to you and dabbling with different kinds of sports or pastimes. Your major concern should be money especially if you have a profligate partner.

Don’t be too quick to take a person’s word if they tell you that you don’t have a leg to stand on with the law or a financial entanglement. They could be calling your bluff, so prepare to shop around for a second opinion where the advice you receive is sound and unbiased - much more convincing.

Before plunging head-first into plans you’ve not thought through, discuss them with someone who knows what’s what. It’s fair, if only to yourself, to weigh-up what your future ideas might bring especially if there are others you live or work with who are affected by your whims as much as you.

Accidents don’t just happen as nine times out of ten they’re down to human error. Avoid making a careless mistake by taking your time and not rushing impetuously into the unknown. Be ready to take medical action as your health is not something you should ignore or fool around with.

Sometimes we all feel a need to retreat from the mainstream and although such a craving is too strong to neglect within you today, you mustn’t shut yourself off from the rat-race altogether. If you do, you could find an opportunity you have been waiting for will pass you by. That would be sad.

No matter what storms have to be weathered, an occasion or event that pulls family members together makes you realise just how strong the bonds of kith and kin can be. Even if your home life is a wee bit unsettled it could be for the nicest of reasons: your need to belong is doubled today.
