You're being offered the chance to change your life in 2005 and a proposition or invitation brings a sense of dej vu. You could get to travel or put down roots in a faraway place if you go with the ideas that are being discussed today. If you feel you have accomplished all you can in your present circumstances, take on any new challenges especially those in connection with study or travel. Your vision will take you far.

Your finances are about to take a dramatic upswing and you will soon have the means and resources to fulfil some of your dreams. To keep finances on an even keel in the future, you must be willing to change the way you have handled money in the past. Rather than seeing the greener pastures on the other side, try to get a better perspective on the richness of your own life. A cautious approach positions you on the path to greater financial security.

Some hard choices must be made if you're struggling to cope with increased responsibilities. Joining forces with another may be the only sensible and practical way to get the job done. You might feel aghast at the thought of sacrificing your independence and having to rely on someone else's co-operation. But the fact is, you're going to have to make sacrifices to keep on top of your hectic schedule.

You couldn't ask for a better day to start a new health regime or get into an efficiency drive. If recently you have been feeling as if life is an uphill struggle, the good news is that it's about to change. You could however be faced with the onerous task of making a difficult decision. You might feel tempted to ask a colleague for their opinion: don't! Yours is the only one that counts.

You've been trying hard to impress a romantic interest but haven't you realised they have fallen for you in a big way already? Forget about putting on an act, be yourself and leave Cupid to do his work. An exhilarating encounter injects love, passion and excitement into your life. You can afford to be more adventurous and daring in romance as it will be as much of a thrill for your partner as for you, to learn something new.

Where there's a will, you will find the ideas and inspiration to find the way. A job project or home improvement plans need to be altered slightly to cope with an unexpected setback. You will however find the determination to turn a potential failure into a success. Avoid those who lack imagination and vision. You need to surround yourself with people who are flexible and open-minded if you are going to succeed today.

Stubbornness is preventing you from seeing what you need to do to succeed. A reluctance to change plans already made or ideas previously agreed on will frustrate others who realise the benefit in making changes as they go along. Take the chance to enjoy a trip that is not without a goal even if it means turning your back on other arrangements. You don't want to regret turning down an important opportunity because of a lack of flexibility.

Keeping a lid on expenditures should be a priority today. Money is a key theme at the moment with regard to both sorting out joint financial commitments and protecting your future security. You need to come up with some original ideas on how to boost your bank balance. Consider the sense of bringing in a second salary through making productive use of a creative talent. Subsequently, you will feel energised by your work instead of worn out by it.

Your need to learn and experience makes you who you are. Whatever or where-ever you are striving towards now, it is the place that seems most appropriate for you. Another person's interest in a subject you have a gift for gives you a sense of authority. You are a born teacher and instructing others will be particularly satisfying. Be sure, however, that this scholar's interest in you stays strictly intellectual. Be philosophical about what's changing now.

Private plans that have been put on the back burner finally resume today. You feel less limited by social expectations and there's immense relief that life is starting to get back to normal. Time alone to think and reflect brings some answers. And you realise a number of reasons why you've been held back in the past. Today your thinking is crystal clear and it's as if you know where you're heading after stumbling around in the dark.

Once again your thoughts might turn to group activities. Someone isn't as obliging or as supportive as you expected. You might therefore find yourself digging for deeper answers and new compromises in a relationship or friendship. You will gain better results with a stubborn someone by being compassionate and forgiving. If you are strict and unyielding you can't expect a pleasant response. A kind word will go a long way.

Your boss or someone in a superior position could make life very difficult for you especially if you are bent on going against them. Why do you feel as if every word this person utters is a direct challenge to you? Should someone suggest that you increase your education or take up further training, they aren't criticising your work or your current efforts. If they can see your potential, why can't you?
