Aries:

It's hard to assert your own ideas when everybody else is trying to make you conform. Try separating yourself from the crowd, if only for a short time. Stay away from familiar haunts and keep a distance from people who are especially controlling. Usually, you are able to put up an imposing front. Today you feel a bit fragile. Why invite trouble? Go to a place where you can think your own thoughts.

Gemini:

Don't assume everybody else is more qualified than you or be focusing on your weak points; concentrate on your strengths. Emphasise them when you go on job interviews or make work proposals. Exuding an air of confidence is half the battle today. A dynamic love affair could also undermine your self esteem. Don't let this person brush your concerns aside. These issues are anything but trivial.

Helping a friend become more self-sufficient requires some restraint on your part. Although you want to protect this person from dangerous situations, it may be better to let him or her fend for themselves. That way, your pal can develop skills that will last a whole lifetime. Your desire to shield your loved ones from harm is admirable. However, it can actually end up hurting them in the long run.

Leo:

Getting organised is essential if you're going to meet your goals. If your surroundings are cluttered and chaotic, it may be because you're unwilling to face the work ahead. Consider what will happen if you let this situation continue. The fact is, you have very little time to accomplish all you desire. Throwing away junk and streamlining the rest of your possessions will let you take a quantum leap forward.

Lean on friends and relatives for support. Ask a confident loved one for advice on instigating this discussion. Develop strategies for every possible response. The more prepared you are, the better you will feel. It's time to stand up for your rights.

Sagittarius:

Usually, you're the life of the party, but today you're shy and withdrawn. This may be because you are attracted to someone who doesn't seem to appreciate you. Don't let this person's daft attitude stop you from having fun. Spending time with friends and working on creative projects will keep depression at bay. If you're already in a relationship, your partner may be neglecting you a bit. Seek to satisfy yourself these next few days.

Fight the urge to get drawn into a predictable routine, or your love life will suffer. It's hard to cultivate romance when you're uninspired. Even the simple act of taking a different route to the office can work wonders for you. If you're in a relationship, try more experiments in the bedroom. If not, you may want to start frequenting different bars, clubs and restaurants. Joining a book group or gym can also stir up excitement.

Working with young people feels like a breath of fresh air. If there's anything you hate, it's cynicism. Watching kids play could remind you of some of your favourite childhood activities. There's no harm in fooling around with paper, paints and paste if the mood strikes you. You may even decide to join a sports team or form a club of some kind. It's never too late to recapture your youth.
