There's a strong desire to break from routine. Being offered a new challenge either of a professional or social nature might go a long way towards easing your restless feelings. Someone you used to work or study with leaves you an intriguing message; get back in touch with them as soon as you can. Something they tell you will have you seriously thinking about new future possibilities.

If you and a partner decide to remain together after some contention or difficulty, agree on new ground rules now. The next step is for the two of you to decide on how to proceed with a minimum of discord in the future. If there have been apologies for past mistakes, let bygones be bygones. It is time to push the past behind you and do all you can do to cultivate harmony and preserve your future happiness.

Your imagination has a habit of running away with you; try to keep focused on practical matters now. Flights of fancy could lead you away from the tried and tested. As exciting as new ideas may be, you will end up taking three times as long to complete the most mundane of tasks. What might suit your dreamy mood is when a last minute message leads to a quick change of plans bringing some surprisingly pleasant experiences.

Do you trust someone to sort a problem out for themselves? Should you help or will it be classed as interference? If you aren't sure how a friend will take your advice, make a few tentative suggestions and let your intuition guide you. Instinct might tell you to hold back and leave them to learn from their mistakes. Or if all goes as you hope, they will accept your support.

Group activities help you get to know others better and allows them to see the real you. You're feeling ambitious. Energy and initiative will work wonders in terms of encouraging people to work together towards a mutual goal. You will be asking questions and coming up with good ideas. Joint or team efforts will also reveal important insights about your personality and could give you the key to an opportunity you might never have uncovered on your own.

A casual acquaintance could point out a talent you have you never expected or realised. You might be able to use this in your career. As well as giving you considerable pleasure, it could increase your income. Showing interest in areas you normally keep out of could bring a degree of opposition or envy from a rival. Someone seems to resent the pleasure you get from an innate gift and they're making no effort to hide their feelings.

Daytime hours might slip by almost unnoticed when your mind is on other things. Even conversations and occurrences going on in front of you fail to get your interest or attention. When someone asks you a question they might be surprised to realise you've not taken anything in. Some firm decisions concerning your long-term future are on this evening's agenda and because these are so important you want to know you're making the right choices.

You aren't impressed by somebody's philosophy especially when it is getting them into trouble. Someone you know strives to look like they have got a lot and all they're doing is incurring a lot of debt and misery. If they always respect your advice, have a word with them before they're totally out of their financial depth. Someone's poor budgeting or over-generosity may mar an otherwise pleasant day.

You're being taken for granted and more responsibilities are being piled on your shoulders as each day goes by. You are more than capable of handling the load but this leaves little space in your life for any time for yourself. Relaxation is something you've not enjoyed for quite some time. Instead of allowing this state of affairs to continue, use subtle methods to get other people to start pulling their own weight.

If a job you're doing is beyond your capabilities leave it, rather than plod on and on indefinitely. If life's getting too stressful make a list of your current responsibilities. Delay what can be postponed and go for a walk, take the children to the park, visit the seaside. When you return, go back to your list and look at it with a fresh mind. A sensible friend might also help you get things in perspective; contact them today especially if close friendships are another thing you've been neglecting of late.

You're dwelling so much on a recent disappointment you aren't noticing all the good that's now around you. If you keep your nose pressed against a tree trunk it will increasingly hurt; if you step back you will see the forest. If something seems missing from your life or you've recently lost a friend or lover, new experiences will open up to find another to take their place. Get out and socialise; don't just drift!

Changing the way you live your life isn't always comfortable but it is necessary and can be good. If it feels like you're robbing Peter to pay Paul, you need to get your debts into priority. Look at new ways to earn money to help out with repayments and get everyone in your household involved so you might all reduce your spending. Most important is you don't bury your head in the sand. Prioritise your debts to keep a roof over your heads and economise.
