No matter which artistic occupations you enjoy this is a very productive time when inventive energy flows through you. There is a whole world of creative activities waiting to be explored ­ have you given much thought as to which ones might be of the most interest to you - or even be the most lucrative? Sometimes financial opportunities can come from some of the most unlikely of sources so do not dismiss anything as unviable until you have properly researched and looked into it.

A project or proposal that has been demanding much of your time and energy finally comes to a satisfactory end. After all the hard work and effort you have put in over the past weeks, you now need to sit back and relax for a while ­ take some time just for yourself. It is important that you are rested and fighting fit so that you will be ready and willing to accept the next remunerative presentation that is offered to you.

It is up to you which option before you to accept ­ there are so many different alternatives you are spoilt for choice. Take your time and do not be hurried into making any hasty decisions, it is better to be sure that you are heading towards your own dream and not one that someone else thinks is yours. Find out all you can and ask for information if needs be -­there are plenty of people out there who are well qualified to give you good advice.

A wise investment you make now has the potential to grow into a nice little nest egg for the future. You may at first be a little unsure you are doing the right thing ­ but this is your way ­ rely on your sixth sense and if it feels right then go ahead and do it. It will only play on your mind if you let this opportunity slip through your fingers; so concentrate instead on all the things you will be able to do and buy when the dividends are paid out.

If a difficult situation occurs within your circle of friend, it always seems to fall to you to sort things out. Your conciliatory skills are once again called for as a young man you come into contact with is acting in quite an uncooperative way. Look to see what it is that is really bothering him but meantime you need to draw on all your powers of tact and persuasion to calm the situation and get things running smoothly once again.

Busy is the key word now as you dart this way and that trying to keep up with all the demands made upon you. You never have liked sitting around with nothing to do and having lots of people relying on your efforts does give you a nice warm feeling of being useful. Don't forget your friends during this flurry of activity ­ why not call around or ring them up for a chat and catch up on all the latest gossip.

You have a sudden hankering to deepen your understanding of the more spiritual side of the world around you. At first you may not know how to go about it but as you focus your attention on this new quest, ideas and plans start to flow. They could include meeting people who come from a different background or culture for example, and this is something you are likely to find extremely exhilarating ­ and who knows - a romantic encounter that sweeps you off your feet could follow.

You really want to get to the bottom of why you and your partner are finding it difficult to agree on a certain issue. Perhaps this stalemate has come about because you are both very sure in your opinions and neither of you wants to be the first to give way. One of you has to make the first move so be magnanimous ­ give them the benefit of the doubt and you may be surprised at how zealously they respond to this new more gentle approach.

Communication with your loved one may be a bit fraught so try to approach any contentious issues in a new way. They will soon appreciate the effort you are making particularly if you give them the space to come to terms with something that may have been bothering them for quite a long time. Why not break the usual routine and try something completely different together ­ perhaps a venture that neither of you has attempted before ­ it might be fun.

Things may have seemed a little dull lately ­ especially on the romantic front ­ so now is the time to make some changes. Put your energy into varying your habitual routine and think of some innovative ways of spending your recreational time. A creative night class could be just the place to bump into that special someone you have been dreaming about. But don't get too carried away by all the fantasies, better to keep your feet firmly planted on terra firma.

A casual remark really hits home and sets in motion a major change in your daily routine and health practices. Have you been considering a complete change of diet ­ if so it would be beneficial to find out as much as possible about it first before fully embracing its tenets and rules or following it to extremes. You are excited and eager about this new-found enthusiasm and want to share its benefits and the insights you have discovered with those around you.

A fortunate break could come your way so don't forget to invite lady luck into all your transactions. Buy a lottery ticket enter a competition or have a flutter at the races ­ someone has to win and it might well be you! A boost to your finances would really be the icing on the cake and just think of the smile on the faces of your friends and family if you win - particularly when you thoroughly spoil them and lavish them with gifts.
