Long simmering problems in a partnership may be in the back of your mind; you want to do something definite about them. A loved one might think you're discounting their views or ignoring their feelings but you feel you know what's currently best for them. It could be a case of having to be cruel to be kind. Despite your assertiveness you will be doing your best to take a sensitive approach to close relationships.

A mentor will take you under their wing; this person has a lot to teach you. If you give yourself fully to the experience and appreciate what they have to offer, the results will transform your life. Some recognition or reward is coming your way for efforts made in the past. Even if this is simply in the form of someone appreciating your talents and being willing to help you fulfil your true potential.

A relationship is becoming so intense and personal it distracts you from your inner focus. You might realise you have more control over someone than you thought or vice-versa. If it is the former, power will attract and the need to exercise it will be strong. If it is the latter, your own decisions may not be completely reliable while under the influence of this person's suggestions. Either way you need to heed the negative consequences of such a relationship and introduce more balance into the union.

A housemate could bring home uplifting money news, resulting from some special exertions made in the recent past. Almost instantly, economies in your lifestyle can be forgotten: that is if you want this! It is entirely possible you no longer feel the need for certain luxurious extras and the money saved will be diverted into a much better and more meaningful cause. Security and stability will be the major focus of your attention these next few weeks.

The day may bring surprising news that stimulates important changes to your circumstances. Not everyone will be happy with what's going on and for this reason each person and every situation should be approached with an open mind. Your inclination is to break with tradition and to try something new and daring. The success of your plans will largely depend on your ability to persuade others to go along with them.

If any important changes or adjustments have to be made on the domestic scene, this is the day it's all going to happen. Tread lightly with those who are finding circumstances difficult as it will be all too easy to upset them. High levels of perception help you tune into other people's feelings and oddly enough you will feel impelled to help others. You will see good results in family and domestic affairs.

A lust for life is revealed by a lust for the art and beauty in the world around you. Nature, the sea, a beautiful landscape inspires your creativity and imagination. You want to make a difference to your world: this will be a hard path to follow. Expect pitfalls along the way. As you appreciate the surrounding landscape, you become concerned about the beauty within not being equal. Once you find the balance, it will be the most rewarding thing of all.

A desire to make some changes in your personal life is too strong to ignore. You might feel impelled to follow your instincts much to the annoyance of others who are against the plans you are now implementing. There's an increasing need to dabble in new interests and get involved in activities that are likely to bring you more personal satisfaction. New commitments give you a refreshed and rejuvenated feeling; you feel more optimistic for the future.

Friends and new contacts made today are likely to play a meaningful part in your life in the future. Increasing involvement in a group or charity venture could give you the chance to leave the mundane pressures of life behind if only for a few short days. If there is a pause in proceedings due to formalities, rules and regulations a little gentle arm twisting might help get things rolling!

You feel a powerful need to withdraw from routine activities. It is time to make some firm decisions about the future direction of your life. If you're feeling trapped by responsibilities you've recently taken on or hemmed in by your job circumstances, think about making some changes. Even though you dislike having to leave what is familiar behind, you could take action to mould your life into a more fulfilling form.

A desire to see more of the world or to improve your knowledge and learning will mean more to you than ambition or power. Turning down an offer of more responsibility will not be a decision made on impulse. Weighing up the pros and cons, you might prefer the freedom you would still have without these additional obligations. Focusing on advancing your own interests and skills is your main priority now.

You might receive a financial windfall although the source is a total mystery! It will be this cryptic element that adds an extra something to the surprising events of the day. Some form of hobby or sporting activity will inspire your interest and imagination. What's more, you could discover you have an affinity for it and for this reason you will be putting a huge amount of effort into this area.
