Being kind to others and towards yourself is a major factor of the day. If and when things go wrong, stay calm and find a way to sort it out. Be tolerant of people you can't understand. Don't get so obsessed with your views, their views your likes and their dislikes that you're halted in your tracks and can't battle through all the emotion. Live for the moment. If you're impatient or restless, you aren't accepting the present as it is.

In circumstances involving a number of people, you're too close to the centre, you aren't seeing the big picture. You need others to step back to give you breathing space. This will help you get a better idea of what is going on. In a close up view you can only see a small and limited part of the whole. Once you're more aware of what's going on further away, you will have more idea of what the situation looks like in its entirety.

If you're filling your time with activities which mean little to you, this is bound to leave you empty and unfulfilled. You need a goal to work towards now. You need to know you're doing something to improve your life. Time is like a river, constantly flowing, never stopping or slowing. Only the currents beneath the surface change. Don't get dragged down by negative thinking or a lack of energy. Set yourself a target. Work towards it.

The chance to travel in conjunction with your career should not be dismissed as being impractical. Altering your usual routines to fit in new commitments won't be as difficult as you might expect. Your life could take a completely unexpected turn once you break out of the mental rut keeping you from moving forward. Take that first step and it'll be easier than you think!

A small obstacle to your progress does not mean you should give up and not strive for what you're hoping to achieve. A lack of finances isn't an indication a group or community project should halt in its tracks. Delve into other possibilities. Are people willing to give their time freely to help cut expenses or are there other ways to raise funds such as applying to a Trust Fund or instigating your own fund raising ideas?

A joint deal or partnership is not as it's supposed to be; you might wonder whether you've made a wrong decision. A talk with your partner is the first step to putting it right. There is probably no need to make any changes once you get your thoughts out and your uncertainties are addressed. You haven't made a wrong choice or a wrong move. You've just not been communicating as well as you should have been and this will be amended today!

You find it easier now to let go, emotionally, from ties you've allowed to keep you attached to the past. You won't ever forget the lessons you've learned from some valuable experiences. These will help you make more informed choices over the months ahead. Even so you realise the sense of not becoming too emotionally involved with the past. You're ready to detach yourself from certain links and this will help you to be more objective.

In your work and in projects which aren't professionally related, you might want to add some personal touches. Your imagination is working at peak levels; you just can't suppress all your creative thoughts and ideas. Others will appreciate the original way you're approaching the things you do today. In fact it might inspire them to voice a few interesting ideas of their own.

If diplomacy doesn't work when you're trying to get through to someone, a more forthright approach might do it. There's a message you need to get across and if a housemate, friend or loved one isn't hearing what you're saying, spell it out to them in no uncertain terms. This may cause a degree of friction but it is best if you get it out in the open. You can't ignore some issues in the hope they'll fade away because in your heart of hearts you know they won't!

Every new experience and every relationship gives you scope to learn something new. Witnessing the consequences of other people's actions and behaviour will alert you to how they might think and react in similar situations in the future. Just as if you make mistakes, say the wrong thing or make the wrong move, you might learn something more about yourself. Remember: every experience is a lesson learned.

Make use of the quiet start to the day to put some research into a money or business venture you're interested in. Proceeding in a quiet and unobtrusive way will help you achieve the best results. There doesn't appear to be a great deal that can go wrong. Even so financial and legal affairs will require some close attention. It's worth keeping some funds in reserve for paying some heavy bills which could come your way in the future.

You've always been sensitive to atmosphere; it is vital not to question your decisions too closely today. Saying or doing something on impulse is your subconscious reaction to a stimulus. Like snatching back a hand at the sense of heat, you can no more control this instinctive and wonderfully sensitive side of you. A feeling that urges you to do something instantly without thinking will prove to be the right and proper thing for you to have done.
