Some kind of internal struggle is going on as you battle with the need to do what you want to do as opposed to pleasing others. Experience will have taught you putting other people's needs in front of your own isn't always beneficial. It might seem as this is the way to keep relationships harmonious but resentment will grow, especially if you're the one doing all the giving. You should strive to achieve balance in all relationships now.

You might enjoy exploring the unknown; this may be through travel or through a course of study. Being able to follow your heart and soul and do the things you truly want to do may take a little courage. Even so it could be a wondrous experience. You are experiencing something special for the first time and you may start to wonder why you hadn't followed your vision earlier. Remember, there is a right time for everything and this is your moment.

When confronted with problems you're liable to hold off from making a decision until you've looked at the pros and cons. Once you've thought about the 'what ifs' and worked through every possible scenario in your mind, you will feel more confident about making the right choice. The crazy thing is, when all is said and done, your final choice will probably be inspired more by intuition than logic. What this proves is you have learned to trust your heart.

Togetherness is a strong theme of the day and you're likely to get a lot out of your friendships. Spending as much time listening to others as you do talking helps you tune into their thoughts and feelings. Focusing on your partner's needs will help nourish one to one relationships. Some surprise developments later in the day could bring a long held romantic wish or desire closer to realisation. A neighbour will try to claim your attention in the evening, if you let them.

Every experience you have gone through has shaped your reality and has made you the person you are now. If you're regretting events of the past, try to look on them from a different perspective. Accept the value of the experience and move on as a smarter person. If it feels as if a chance has passed you by, don't let this put you off. Mild regret could be useful for driving new action. Severe regret could hold you back and lead to depression.

It isn't fake to want people to think well of you especially if someone you just met made a good impression on you. If you are single and feel a strong romantic pull towards them, staying calm is a good start. Think about similar moments you've been through successfully in the past and apply those tactics to today's situation. Don't let nerves get the better of you. Avoid getting too emotional.

Plan your day the way you want, especially if a housemate is deliberately stalling from falling in with your plans. Rather than wait for them to join you, you should make a start. This makes a statement that you aren't going to wait around forever. With luck, the next time you make them an offer or invitation they will make their mind up earlier. The lesson you're teaching others today is that they should move a little faster!

You're always interested in new activities; today you might enjoy connecting with those in your immediate circle. Every moment of every day is a new opportunity for growth. Local activities could teach you more about the meaning of life; it's like you are seeing some people you've known for years, for the very first time. Don't dwell on what you may have missed out on in the past as this just means you weren't ready for the experience.

A desperate need for travel or a change of scene is pure escapism. The problems you're trying to avoid will still be waiting for you on your return. Sometimes it is better to face up to issues and difficulties; get it over with. You may well benefit from a break, or some time away from your usual haunts but you will get more out of this if you tie up all loose ends before you leave. Don't run away from your problems!

Changing your life may be as simple as volunteering your name to an organisation requesting aid or making a phone call. You prevent yourself from moving forward every time you find excuses why you can't carry out your aims. If you're looking for stimulation, be more aware of your surroundings, your relationships and the milieu of your environment. There is plenty of scope to try something new and your life will be richer for the journey.

Having a goal firmly in your sights, propels you into action. Changes you've recently been contemplating will soon start to take shape; this could ultimately result in a change of lifestyle. You know what to do to realise your needs and fulfil your main objectives. There is an atmosphere of action around you and this will become plainly visible when you stop and consider your achievements. Nothing can stop you now.

If someone's adamant that hard work and struggle will eventually make them happy and successful, you don't have to agree. Witnessing the effort they're putting themselves through might not look very satisfying to you. It may be because you can persuade others of the benefit of relaxation and recreation. A little occasional fun never did anyone any harm and might help those around you to realise there's more to life than work.
