Happiness and fulfilment come through self-respect and self-understanding. Believing in yourself also helps you develop healthy relationships. Today, treat yourself as a treasured friend and you will be drawn to people who share your views, beliefs and ideals. Changes in your relationship are afloat. Enjoy the company of progressive thinkers. Someone you work with could become more of a close friend through conversations shared this afternoon. Anything you take on now will earn your total commitment.

You might take pleasure today in tackling jobs that others have dismissed as impossible. Hard work will help you advance your business or professional status. A vital matter will present itself, requiring an immediate decision. Your logic is truly amazing, leaving others with no doubt that you know about what you say. Your talent for making the most of what you've got earns you respect and admiration.

Life is not moving fast enough for you; even when on the move, you can't wait to arrive at your destination. It's like being on a ship. The ship moves through the water but you are restricted in where you can go. As you anticipate reaching new goals, you might reflect on your past and present self. Imagine the future you see for yourself. Are you travelling in the right direction? This is the time to change course if you are not!

Be wary of entering into anything of a business or financial nature until you know for certain exactly what is being expected of you. Does someone, for instance, have motives that aren't purely of a professional nature? Though it may not be a case of sexual harassment, there is the chance that an offer made today will have strings attached. Whatever your financial situation, the attention now is on funds shared with others. You may also be due a refund or a pleasingly high return on a speculative venture.

You like to think you are in control of your relationships and perhaps you are, but you will be fair too, today. Even when it seems like someone is trying to get around you, you may feel they deserve to be given a degree of leeway. If single, your sensitivity could be the catalyst for getting a long-term relationship moving toward the wedding aisle. If attached, it will be easy to find intellectual rapport with your partner.

You might need to consider your priorities within your career area such as prospects of promotion and working conditions. How much independence do you need and how secure is a particular position? If you are seriously job-hunting, don't refrain from applying for jobs where you have had no previous experience. If you have the knowledge and the talent, you must start somewhere. You have the ability to influence others with your words so go out and sell yourself now.

New offers or ideas may seem like a better option than continuing on an existing path. Your imagination is stimulated by fresh possibilities. New beginnings are always exciting but it's also important to complete jobs already started. You are focused on creative and artistic interests and involvements. This may lead you to neglect other areas and responsibilities. Don't let your friends and associates down. Make it your aim to finish what you start.

Someone from your past might return to your life and remind you of dreams that you once held dear. Have you reached your goals? Are they no longer important? Maybe you have moved on into other areas. Whether or not you have a lot to show for your past efforts, it's a good time to get in touch with your inner-feelings and revise your main aims. Avoid getting into emotional power struggles with the family, this evening.

A new study course would give you the chance to use your mind and learn something new. You could connect romantically with someone you study with. Old friends get in touch with invitations to socialise. You're likely to be kept on your toes today, delivering messages and carrying out errands. Your fundamental problem is trying to fit the dozens of items on your list of things-to-do into your day. The more organised you are, the more efficiently you will get things done.

You will be determined to master a new skill no matter what it takes. Things that other people appear to find simple, seem to impose a heavy burden on your mental powers. Consider, however, that practice will make perfect. Those who are skilled at what they do will have worked hard to gain such proficiency. Your perseverance will earn great rewards both through acquiring new skills and in possibly turning a talent into a future money-maker.

You might feel inspired to make some changes that are intended to benefit your professional or private life. Today, you are highly imaginative and far-sighted. Your mind is working over time and the decisions you make will take on an important significance. You may, on saying this, be a lot more impatient than usual. You want things to happen instantly. You have incredible stores of mental energy. Channel this into any pursuit that takes your interest and if you persevere, it will be a success.

You can't run away from an emotional problem because it will always be inside you, no matter where you go. For this reason, you should tackle a situation, dilemma or concern that is causing you sleepless nights. Deal with the issue, either through talking to other people who are involved, or attacking the problem in a more practical way. You have the mental energy to devote to personal matters and to areas that need your full consideration. Deal with commitments from the past that are holding you back and by the end of the day you will have freed yourself from these burdens.
