A strong desire for freedom makes it difficult to concentrate on your duties. Perhaps it's time that you pulled back from these responsibilities. You're the type who needs to call the shots. If that means putting greater emphasis on your personal life, so be it. Let others be slaves to their duties - you've more amusing things to do.

This is no time to rest on your laurels, just yet, although you have made a great deal of progress. Start to formulate new goals before your enthusiasm wanes.

People are relying on you to see them through a tough time, but you're not in the mood to help. It's hard to be a pillar of strength, but please remember that you're the one who chose this role. Put your own needs aside for the time being. The thanks you'll get will more than make up for the inconvenience.

Somebody is getting a little too close for comfort, but you're too shy to say anything. Your need for privacy is paramount, though. Start to draw some firm boundaries. It's hard enough finding private time without having visitors drop in night and day. If their feelings are hurt, that's too bad. You've been more than accommodating.

The performing arts or creative expression allows you to get frustrations out in a powerful way. Your cultured personality needs a forum of some kind. Although you don't need a spotlight all of the time you DO need to do something where others can see your handiwork. All you want in life is a little bit of praise and appreciation: oh okay, a lot!

Domestic duties and family affairs are preventing you from spending as much time as you'd like with your loved ones. Children or pets are especially lonesome for your company. Let your nurturing side come out full force this weekend, even if it means turning something down. These moments are so fleeting; you have to pause to enjoy them.

It feels like there are no chances to develop your intellectual skills, but that's really not the case. At times like these, you have to make your own opportunities. If this means forming a study group in your free time, do it. Discussing current events, history and philosophical matters gives you insight into your own intimate issues.

This probably isn't the best time to begin a romance, but love is rarely convenient. You've got to seize this chance before it slips from your grasp.

You're starting to realise just how many of your goals were set by your upbringing. If your present situation doesn't fill you with passion, explore different options. Think back to when you were a child. What subjects really interested you? The answers will give you clues to what you really should be doing.

If you're really serious about being a success, you must accept more responsibilities. This can be a real problem as the summer approaches, because you'll be forced to sit inside while everybody else is having a great time. Fear not. By the time autumn arrives, others will have to scramble to catch up with you as you sail towards a grand scale achievement.

Success has many parents, but failure is an orphan; that's why you feel so isolated at time. It's not healthy to beat yourself up for a recent disappointment. The important thing is that you took a risk. The next time, you'll be better prepared to deal with last minute obstacles. Stay home and lick your wounds and get ready to fight the next good fight.

Although your first instinct is to spend a quiet evening at home, it's better to socialise with friends. Being a loner can take a toll on your happiness. Spend the next few weekends mixing with others. If your list of pals has dwindled, join a club, group or gym. This will force you to interact with a variety of folks and make a new set of mates.
