You'll either have to rob Peter to pay Paul or come up with a new financial strategy if you're going to get out of debt. Stop giving away your power to creditors. Set up a sensible schedule by which to pay off your bills. You can't buy self-esteem; you've got to earn it. Much of your success depends on how psychologically secure you feel.

Expectations for a long-term relationship may begin to shift and change now that the New Moon makes her appearance in your seventh house. Don't use your loved one as a means of correcting a past union that has gone sour. Happiness is within reach; seize it before it slips from your grasp. If you’re looking for love, it’s about to be found.

A persistent ailment could very well be the physical manifestation of an unresolved emotional issue that has lain dormant for several weeks. You've got to come to terms with these feelings before your symptoms get worse. If you've got nobody to turn to, pour out your emotions on paper. Let it out somehow and in some way.

Beware of repeating old, destructive patterns in a new relationship; otherwise, this bond could fall by the wayside, too. You have to recognise where you may be drawing the wrong people into your life in a desperate attempt to punish yourself. You are just as worthy of love as everyone else. Demand the respect you deserve and need.

Stop letting others dictate what you can and cannot do; the fact is, your potential is unlimited so long as you take responsibility for your actions. When you surrender your decisions, you cease being a whole person. Drown out external voices by turning your attention inward. This is the first step toward realising your dreams.

Your loved ones are not to blame if your needs aren't being met, especially if you're not communicating your thoughts in a clear, direct fashion. Speak up instead of sitting in hurt or sulky silence when a loved one doesn't understand your expectations. Why is it so uncomfortable for you to discuss certain subjects? Unless you do, they will never be resolved.

Contrary to popular belief, money is not the root of all evil; in truth, it is a manifestation of your own personal worth. Review your spending habits and recognise where you may be robbing yourself of valuable time and energy. Stop the impulse buying and start investing in long-term happiness. Materially it is time to hatch a secure nest egg.

Don't let popular culture dictate what you should and should not wear; style should represent your inner personality. Status symbols won't only drain your bank account, they'll stunt your self expression. Go through your closets and wardrobes and get rid of anything you haven't worn in a year. It's time to show the world the Real You.

A want or need that you have been trying to repress for the past four weeks could resurface in a vivid dream or Freudian slip. It may be very difficult to make progress in life until you come to terms with your desire. Confide your feelings in a trusted friend, counsellor or health professional. Time to examine your subconscious.

A fear of intimacy could be holding you back from enjoying the friendships you need to feel connected to the outside world. No matter how self-sufficient you are, it's essential that you feel as though you're a part of a larger social network. Inject new energy into your life by joining a volunteer organisation or charitable concern.

The only person responsible for your current unfulfilled life situation is you; stop pointing, accusing or blaming your friends and family as being the source of your unhappiness. Nobody can make you feel ashamed or guilty unless you allow it. It's about time you took charge of your affairs instead of giving your power to others.

Stop closing yourself off to ideas just because they don't mesh with your personal philosophies; this will only alienate you from potentially valuable teachers. The more options you have in life, the less trapped you will feel. Suspend judgement every time you're presented with a new idea this month and get on with taking opportunity at face value.
