Morning and evening are better for personal matters but avoid decisions this afternoon. You're more determined than ever to fulfil your potential, even if it means making long-term sacrifices. Going back to school, taking a job in an unfamiliar place, or improving your work habits are just some of the things you can do to produce results. An authority figure may try to talk you out of these plans, but don't listen. This person may want to keep you in a subordinate position, if only to feel superior.

Your intuition and judgement is red hot this morning and tonight but not after noon. Paralysing fears have held you fast for too long, and you're ready to conquer them. This may involve getting therapy or undergoing rehabilitation of some kind. The important thing is to stop hiding behind behaviours that have allowed you to ignore the truth of your situation. The comfort found in a bed or bottle is only temporary. You've got to find a permanent deterrent to your demons. Begin the process of rebirth today.

Legal and financial issues can be resolved this morning but watch out for a hitch P.M. Support from a loved one makes you more convinced than ever that you can realize your dreams. Although your present duties may not reflect your true desires, that's not important. What is essential is that you forge a plan that will allow you to start moving toward your goals. If that means waking up an hour earlier to practice an instrument, write a page of a novel, or rehearse a scene, so be it.

Good news A.M. or tonight arrives but watch out for envy from a woman this afternoon. More than anything, you want to be recognized and applauded for your work. Fortunately, you'll be given ample chance to show off your skills in a way that helps both your colleagues and your superiors. The only problem is your personal life. A loved one may resent all the time you're spending on your career. Resist any attempts at emotional blackmail. Staying home will only make you resentful.

Travel plans or other decisions made before noon or tonight are OK don't be taken in this afternoon. You're justifiably proud of all the experience you've gathered over the years, and want to put it to use. At this stage of the game, you can afford to write your own ticket. Open a business that allows you to make money from an activity that seems more like play than work. The entertainment field attracts you, but any business that allows you to perform to the public would be just as suitable.

Don't get het up this afternoon, as plans laid this morning and concluded tonight are stable enough. A need for intimacy may cause you to withdraw from public life today. You'd rather cuddle up with your loved ones in front of the fire than attend a big, noisy party. Romance is also on your mind, but you just can't bring yourself to get all spruced up in the hopes of meeting a mate. Love will come when you feel comfortable in your own skin. Familiar surroundings allow you to loosen up.

What you do A.M. and this evening could change your life for the good don't be swayed to change after noon. You have a strong need to connect with people in a meaningful way; idle chitchat gets on your nerves. You're tired of pretending that everything is great when you're really scared, and long to express your true feelings when somebody offends you. Go ahead and speak your mind. You may be astonished to learn how many people welcome your forthcoming attitude. Eventually, truth always prevails over hypocrisy.

Medical and job issues are on the way to a successful conclusion if you don't prevaricate this afternoon. Your generous, warm-hearted behaviour finds many rewards today. Gifts, favours, and tributes could come pouring in from all directions. And although you definitely appreciate all the goodies, you're even more grateful for the esteem in which you are held. A resourceful person like you needs to be needed. It looks like you've finally found a means to be productive, useful, helpful and wanted. There's no better feeling in the world.

You have too many choices on offer to you but once you've made your decision stick to it. You're in a playful sort of mood that helps you overcome a whole variety of stubborn obstacles. It's simply impossible to say no to you today! Expanded opportunities give you access to people and organizations that were previously barred to you. Don't let money concerns stand in the way of doing what you truly desire. The means will present itself once you put your plans into motion. Reverse logic comes in handy now.

Signing official papers or deals should be done before noon or later tonight but NOT this afternoon. Familiar surroundings encourage your imagination to run wild; you've never been so creative. This is a fine time to launch a solo project, one that you should keep away from prying eyes. You're too sensitive to public opinion to present your work to people right now. Creating masterworks in the privacy of your own home allows you to experiment in daring new ways. You're more of a rebel than you admit. Break the rules!

Meetings or appointments should be avoided this afternoon or you'll undo all the good you've done. You're in the mood to travel, if only to meet interesting new people. A true humanitarian like yourself tends to steer away from intimate friendships, preferring to deal with people on a more general level. Surprisingly, you may meet somebody who makes a real connection with you. It might feel as though you've known this person in another life. Perhaps this is a sign that you can afford to be more passionate and draw closer to someone.

Money matters are splendid this morning and evening but after noon any good fiscal sense deserts you. Turning your talents into assets is easier than you realize especially if you rely on your contacts. Ask friends, relatives, and business associates for help in launching a business. Let's face it; you're not exactly cut out for a regular office job! The more variety and artistic stimulation your work provides, the better you'll feel and the richer you'll be. Your creative soul is desperate to be let out.
