Taking a more active role in your community could help you get in control of your day-to-day life. Once you start seeing the results of any charity or voluntary work, you'll feel compelled to change the things in your personal world that have been creating problems. Find a cause that has personal meaning for you.

If you're somewhat confused about which direction to take with regard to your love life, a short trip out of town might provide the answer. Sometimes it’s best to be removed from familiar surroundings in order to see where you fit in it objectively. Have you been tolerating behaviour that would usually be unacceptable to you?

Suddenly you have options where there were once obstacles; seize the opportunities that are being presented before they vanish. The reason your fortune has reversed is because you've adopted a more spiritual attitude. The next time you're faced with a discouraging situation, seek out the positives, no matter how slight.

It's easier to be optimistic when you're in good health, so take the necessary steps to strengthen your body. Even the slightest adjustment can have a dramatic affect on your psyche. Start out by walking 15 minutes each day, then work your way into a more rigourous routine. Consider it an early New Year present to yourself.

Your creative muscles will grow weak with atrophy if you don't flex them soon; take up a hobby that utilises your visual skills. Communication will become easier once you start expressing yourself through artistic ventures. Relations with people around you start to improve. Travel leads you to the land of opportunity.

You could be thrown into the role of peacemaker yet again a friend or relative asks you to sort out a quarrel. If you're tired of being put in the middle of these fights, refuse to play mediator.

Earning money from a pastime or hobby isn't as impossible as you think, but you'll never know for sure until you try. Sure, you may experience some rejection at first, but think about how happy you'll feel once your business or enterprise gets off the ground. When you do what you love, the money will follow. Persistence is key.

Mending fences with someone close should be your top priority today; stop focusing on who said what and begin afresh. This clash has affected more people than just you and your adversary. It's time that you realised your behaviour has an impact on your entire family. Remember words and actions can have serious consequences.

Whether you realise it or not, a young person is patterning their behaviour after yours, so watch your p’s and q’s. Actually, you should consider their hero-worship of you a compliment. Seize this opportunity to change any attitudes that have been causing you sorrow over these past few weeks. The results will be blissful.

Follow your intuition as far as pecuniary purchases and cash schemes are concerned; what seems like a good deal on paper may be a dead loss in reality. If you want to increase your income, start venturing into new territory. You're far more likely to achieve success in areas that force you to stay on your toes.

Realising a cherished dream isn't as far-fetched as you think; what's holding you back from putting your plans into effect? Stop waiting around for others to lend words of support. Public approval is highly overrated. If you believe in what you’re doing, people will seek you out for help. Have faith and the rest will follow.

The Sun's auspicious link to Neptune, your ruling planet, makes this an ideal day to draw up an ‘A’ list of new business contacts.
