You long for a change but you're doing your best to control your restless feelings. You like to be in charge and this is why you're tense about keeping up with what you can and can't do. Intuitively you feel that it will soon be possible to take the holiday you've been dreaming about for months.

You're growing tired of the same old routines and family patterns, faces and places. Normally when making choices for the future, taking the safe road is the most attractive option. The more risky path is the one that appeals at this time. You are prepared to take a risk if it's what might lift you out of a rut.

An important decision will have a big impact on your future. You are torn between two equally attractive possibilities. Once you've made the choice, there will be no going back. The fact is: you can't have it all and you must accept that once this decision is made, you need to be willing to live with it.

Money that was owed to you will be paid back, at last. This will bring a strong sense of relief. You are more than ready to make the most of a trouble-free time, where money is concerned. Just don't be tempted to splash out on luxuries you could happily do without.

When ideas for the future come into your mind, develop these. If you push them aside for another time you might forget about them altogether. Spend some time reflecting on what you want to achieve in the months ahead. Discuss this with a friend who knows you well and they will give some objective advice.

A calculated risk will pay off. You prefer to go with what you know and are familiar with but in this instance you can see the sense of stretching yourself a little further. It may be necessary to take a hard line when a child or teenager tries to go against your wishes.

With some imminent changes ahead, you need to keep a close eye on what is and what could be yours in time to come. Be practical. Look after your own interests and try not to lose sight of your goals. Stay fixed in the direction in which you are heading.

A job opportunity is a one you would have taken and held with both hands, this time last year. It was everything you dreamed of in the past. Now it doesn't seem to mean so much to you. You have other things to take into account and you will need more time to think about it.

An offer or opportunity that is on its way will mark an important turning point in your life. Something is brewing. You sense change is ahead and you are ready for it. Although you will give new possibilities some careful thought you know that in the New Year, your life will be changing direction.

Technology is wonderful but you worry that youngsters are putting too much faith in technology. Knowledge and expertise are lost when pressing a button takes so little thinking and learning. Look into the possibility of setting up a local group to encourage others to develop personal skills and share common interests. This will give you enormous satisfaction.

You might wish you had more say in some matters. Someone else is pulling the strings. You don't like or agree with what is going on and this is making you ponder about your own options for the future. Very soon an opportunity will arise that offers you a chance to turn your back on a toxic situation.

There are loose ends still to tie up before you feel able to move forward in new directions. Be organised about your plans. Use any spare time you have now to put pen to paper and set out your intentions. A walk will clear your head and this will make it easier to make decisions.
