Working behind the scenes on someone else's behalf is fulfilling. Perhaps you could put in a good word for this person with your boss, or set up a job interview or write a recommendation. Alternatively, you may decide to work on behalf of a good cause. Choose an organisation where your values and concerns are reflected. The more emotionally invested you are in this endeavour, the more satisfied you will be. You have the power to make a positive difference.

Friends are a source of strength. It's been difficult to find time for your favourite activities. When you do have a chance to relax, you may feel compelled to study, practice, or catch up on chores.

If you keep going at this pace, you'll suffer a serious case of burnout.

All eyes will be on you at a meeting or party. Take extra care with your appearance. Splurging on a new outfit will be perfectly justified.

It will be virtually impossible to resist this person. If you're already in a relationship, keep your amour close by, and leave the party early for a passionate romp.

Joining a religious, political, or philosophical group could be enlightening. You enjoy discussing the big questions in life, like 'Why are we here?' and 'How can I best serve humankind?' Cynics might think such discussions are pointless, but you know better. It's very comforting to know others are equally awed and perplexed about the human condition. Taking a spiritual pilgrimage could be in the cards for you.

An intense relationship makes you feel more alive than you have in a long time. All of a sudden, you can't wait to get out of bed and see what the day will bring.

Giving it your best shot will prompt people to spread the word about your talent.

Developing your relationship skills is imperative. Instead of looking at every bond as a power struggle, focus on how you can benefit your union. Even the toughest people will soften in the presence of your generous attitude. Granted, some nuts will be especially tough to crack. Be patient with them. As incredible as it may seem, your persistence will pay off. Thinking of getting engaged or married? This would be an ideal weekend to take the plunge.

If you've been butting heads with a colleague, it's time to extend an olive branch. This is easier said than done, for this person has said some really hurtful things in the past making it hard to patch things up. By working to wipe the slate clean with your colleague you can both move forward to a more productive future. As incredible as it seems, you can grow to like each other.

This is a wonderful weekend to go on a date. You just might make a love connection with a cockeyed optimist. Being in this person's presence makes you feel like anything is possible. He or she may even convince you to pursue a dream you abandoned long ago. If you're already in a relationship, you may decide to take a class with your amour. It will be stimulating to have something to look forward to every week.

It's more important than ever to recharge your batteries at home the demands of your work and social lives could start wearing on your nerves. Besides, it's expensive to go out every day of the week.

You'll be twice as productive.

A love of learning could prompt you to read or enrol on a course. You don't have to work towards a degree or advanced certificate or anything like that. Discovering how to dance or use a digital camera or play music are all worthy pursuits. The important thing is to have fun. Your instructor and classmates will be inspired by your enthusiastic approach. These people will be firm friends if you let down your defences.

When given a choice between earning more money or enjoying more free time, go for the time out. You'll have plenty of cash to cover your bills, plus a little left over. Opportunities like these are few and far between. This is your chance to catch up on your reading, putter around the garden, or indulge in some afternoon naps. Slowing down will put you back in touch with your spiritual side. It can only be cultivated in peaceful solitude.

Everybody wants you in their corner, and with good reason. You've never looked better. If you're in the market for love, you'll have the pick of several suitors. A solid friendship could blossom into a steamy romance with very little encouragement. If you already have a lover, encourage him or her to go after a cherished dream. Your faith in their abilities will prompt them to go farther than they've ever thought possible.
