You're thinking seriously about your creative abilities, as well you should! Taking a writing, painting, or metalwork class could add an exciting new dimension to your life. You're also ready to settle down on the romantic front. If you're single, it may be time to get serious about the dating scene; stop stringing along admirers who don't really interest you. If you're in a committed partnership, it may be time to conceive or adopt a child.

Heavy responsibilities at home simply have to be delegated to others. You may be a tremendously capable worker, but it's not fair to saddle you with all of the chores. If you're on your own, it's time to seriously consider a cleaning service. Yes, this will put a dent in your budget, but you'll find the benefits far outweigh the financial cost. Confronting an older relative could also be in the cards. Refuse to entertain their nonsense.

This is definitely not the day to sign any legal papers or contractual agreements. Arrangements put all the burden on you, without giving anything in return. Don't be fooled by a seemingly nice person who seems to have your interests at heart. You're always better off paying a legal professional to look over such documents. Siblings and neighbours have a tendency to wiggle out of promises today.

All of your hard work could be for nothing if you continue to load up your credit cards with expensive purchases. Take this opportunity to wean yourself off your charge plates. It may take a long time to get free of these obligations, but once you do, you'll notice an immediate improvement in your quality of life. Worrying about debt can take a real toll on your overall health.

It's hard for you to trust a romantic or business partner, and with good reason. Their irresponsible actions have often resulted in more responsibility for you. It's time to decide whether this relationship is really more trouble than it is worth. If you're really determined to make this bond work, you've got to lay down some firm ground rules, and be ready to impose consequences if the rules are broken.

Keeping a problem secret from your colleagues may not be realistic. You owe these people an explanation for your erratic performance. If you're looking for a job, and have a spotty record, be honest about your situation. A prospective employer may be so impressed by your honesty they'll give you a chance. In the event a colleague is making your life difficult, a confrontation is in order. Don't fail to tell your superiors, too.

You're willing to work, but everyone else seems intent on goofing off. Your sense of justice is too strong to endure this situation any longer. Refuse to contribute anything further until everyone else does their part. At first, your peers may ignore your warning, but they'll soon shape up once they see the entire organisation start to fall apart. In the meantime, catch up on all of the fun you've been missing.

You don't have as much control over a situation as you think. Relatives may be telling you one thing, but doing another. It's not that they want to defy you; it's just that they can't handle living under such strict rules. You have to make allowances for people's uniqueness. For instance, it may be unrealistic to expect a certain relative to do time-oriented chores. Give this person long range projects instead.

Clinging strongly to certain philosophic, religious or political views is really cramping your style. Resist the urge to enlighten people who think differently than you, and listen to their positions instead. You may not be converted, but you will earn respect for these folk. We owe it to each other to be a little less hard headed in these polarised times. Otherwise, we'll become even more alienated.

It's time to loosen up with regard to relationships. You can't demand others to have exactly the same expectations as you, given the difference in your experiences. And while it's scary to trust somebody whose view of life is so different than yours, it can be exhilarating, too. Trust this person to widen your horizons a bit more, allowing you to live life more fully.

Beware of being unduly harsh on a lover or close friend. True, this person could make a terrible mistake, but we've all committed similar infractions. Rubbing salt in their wounds will only create long term resentments. If this has been an ongoing problem, it's probably a sign of deeper troubles. Maybe your friend is subconsciously messing up as a means to get your attention. Stranger things have happened.

Hard work is no substitute for spiritual fulfilment. Consider whether you've been keeping busy as a means to avoid troubling problems. If that's the case, you need to step back, take a deep breath, and confide in a trusted friend. Until you do, you'll continue to jeopardise your health through back breaking labour. Give yourself permission to feel grief. It's an essential part of the healing process.
