Secret actions could come to light in a very nasty way. If you're caught with your hand in the cookie jar, admit your guilt and don't try to justify your behaviour. People will be far more compassionate if you own up to your mistakes and refuse to point fingers at others. If you stumble across somebody else's wrongdoing, you may be compelled to tell the authorities, even if it pains you to do so.

Finding your true purpose could be an elusive journey today. You're torn between satisfying your creative side and fulfilling your need for security. The irony is if you do what you love, the money will follow. You're having a hard time believing this maxim, though. Don't buy into the idea artists are starving, struggling and dysfunctional. The most successful people in the world are earning money through their creative efforts. Follow their example.

You'll have to follow the rules today, as much as it pains you to do so. An authority figure may instruct you to disobey your instincts and follow procedure and while you couldn't disagree more with this edict, you've got to respect this person's position or you'll be creating a situation in which everybody does as they please. The long term effects of your behaviour could be disastrous, so set a good example and do what you're told.

Don't be so quick to follow up on an unconventional idea. Although this proposal seems like the solution to many entrenched problems, there are a few bugs to be worked out. By applying it prematurely, people could suffer in ways you didn't imagine. It's better to introduce this concept by degrees, and take careful notes on the outcome. That way, you can prevent irreparable damage from being done to the group. It pays to be cautious now.

A close relationship is heading for stormy water, and it's important to be prepared. If you have a stunning announcement, make it in a place which allows your partner to process their emotions in private. If you hear some shocking news, don't do anything hasty or you could jeopardise your financial security. It may develop that one or both of you loses a significant amount of money. Find a compassionate resolution.

Developments in a business or romantic partnership could result in a major lifestyle change. Perhaps your associate or lover is moving across the country, prompting you to move, too. Maybe they've adopted a new philosophy that requires you to adjust your thinking, too. Whatever the reason, some significant tension will result. It's up to you to decide whether this bond is worth preserving, or whether it's time for you to go your separate ways.

You've undergone a lot of transformations these past few years, and they could be taking a toll on your health. Normally, you welcome change, but too much upheaval is exhausting. Finding a spiritual practice to help you cope with these transitions is imperative. Yoga, meditation, prayer or craft projects can offset the anxiety wreaking havoc with your life. If you feel like you've reached the breaking point at work, honour your feelings.

A battle of wills could erupt between you and a lover. The underlying cause of this problem may be inconsistency. If you're going to set up rules, you have to obey them. Make people accountable for their actions. When somebody oversteps their boundaries, there needs to be consequences for it. Above all, make sure the regulations are equally applied. It's not fair to expect your partner to live up to rules you don't obey yourself.

Coming and going as you please could create problems for your loved ones. If you're living on someone else's bounty, it's time to strike out on your own or you'll damage an important relationship. If you are on your own, you still have to honour the feelings of your neighbours. Accept the fact you need to amend your behaviour for the sake of harmony. Nobody's an island, especially in the modern world.

It's not enough to make promises; you have to follow them up with action. If you've been inconsistent, people won't take you seriously, making it difficult to fulfil your potential. For instance, you could be passed by for a promotion or award because you've failed to keep your word. If that's the case, take your medicine with good grace, and focus on doing what you say in the future. It's the only way to redeem your reputation.

An unforeseen expense could put a serious dent in your budget. At times like these, it's tempting to lash out at the people you love most. If this happens, be prepared to issue an immediate and sincere apology. Better yet, avoid trouble altogether by channelling your frustration into physical activity. Getting the stress out of your system will allow you to discuss your problem in a rational manner. Don't take out your anger on others.

Someone who loves you may try to discourage you from making a hasty decision. This irritates you to no end. You can't stand it when anybody tries to limit your freedom. Before giving this person a piece of your mind, consider whether they have your best interests at heart. It's also important to think about whether your actions will put your friend in jeopardy. In situations like this, you're not free to do as you wish.
