Domestic matters could be weighing heavily on your heart right now. This situation has been affecting you for quite some time but now it's drawing to a close. If you're feeling some strain today, look ahead. There is light at the end of the tunnel. Whether you're dealing with a difficult relative or a complicating living situation is immaterial. The important thing is to assume your responsibilities. Rising to these tasks will yield some handsome rewards. Be patient.

Negative thinking may be affecting the way you relate to others. Don't assume that you'll be a flop at large social gatherings. You've got a fantastic personality, particularly when you're talking about things you love, like nature, fine food and beautiful music. If you're about to attend a party, have some topics of conversation prepared. That way, you won't be fishing for things to say when you meet an attractive stranger.

For the past two years, you've been highly critical of yourself, especially regarding finances. You may have regretted certain jobs, purchases or decisions that appeared to set you back. The sooner you stop dwelling on these matters, the easier it will be to generate more cash. Treat your past steps as lessons, rather than mistakes. Otherwise, you'll fail to see the golden opportunities that are continually unfolding before you.

Life has been a pretty serious business for quite a time now, forcing you to assume heavy responsibilities and although you've never shrunk from duty, you must admit that you yearn for the carefree days of youth. Happily, your burdens are coming to an end. In the meantime, there remains some unfinished business. It's especially important that you take steps to further your career. Get additional training, apply for a promotion or meet with people who can boost your prospects.

The prospect of ending a bad habit can be strangely intimidating. That's because you're using this behaviour to distract you from larger issues. Maybe you feel that you aren't as well educated as you should be. Perhaps you don't have as much experience as your rivals. It's even possible that you're afraid to venture into unfamiliar territory. Regardless of your reasons for remaining stuck, the time has come to push yourself forward.

Socialising hasn't been your strong suit these past two years; work has been a bigger priority. That trend may continue today, when you're forced to stay in and attend to minor duties as a means to keep the ball rolling and although while you resent having to toil away while everybody else is enjoying the weekend, relief is on the way. By the time July arrives, you will be able to enjoy a blissful break.

For a long time you've encountered a number of career related obstacles that have been rather daunting. Before then, you were able to avoid trouble by making witty jokes and charming gestures. A changing of the guard has forced you to become more dedicated and disciplined over the past two years. If you keep your nose to the grindstone over the next few months, you'll get a raise, promotion or better job offer.

While it may feel as though your hard work has been wasted, the reverse is true. Although you haven't seen the results you've wanted, an authority figure is quietly watching your progress. Continue to plough ahead, even if colleagues are undermining your progress. Showing that you can stand the pace will land you a plum position in a few months' time. Burn off and excess stress and tension with plenty of physical or mental exercise.

For the past two years, you may have been forced to live within certain financial limits. You will feel this pinch strongly today, when you aren't able to buy some expensive plaything or go on an expensive vacation. Before you beat yourself up, consider how you can pamper yourself without breaking the bank. Contrary to popular belief, you can have fun on a limited budget. Never fear; money worries will soon be solved.

Relationship matters have been a source of concern for a long time. If you're single, you may have had difficulty making a love match. If you have a partner, your union may have been tested in a number of ways and while you may feel this problem acutely today, that doesn't mean life will always be like this. In fact, your love life will take a dramatic turn for the better over the next few months. Hang in there!

Work has been something of a challenge for the past two years. You've either had too much or too little. Right now, it feels as though you'll never strike the right balance. By continuing to accept less-than-stellar assignments, though, you will attract bigger and better opportunities. You may not see results just yet, but rest assured that this area of your life will soon improve. Until then, try to pamper yourself as much as possible.

Although you are famous for having a soft and sympathetic heart, you have become a little tough in some areas. As far as lovers and children are concerned, you're more demanding. Long ago, you were willing to overlook outrageous behaviour and temper tantrums. That has slowly changed, especially over the past two years. You're beginning to see how these antics drain you of time and energy. Put your foot down firmly, for everyone's sake!
