What point is there in constantly retracing steps already made to make sure they were the right ones? You should be moving ahead now instead of keep going back and checking. It is entirely possible the thought of what's to come is making you delay the final leg of the journey. Once you reach your destination, new goals must be set and old friends and commitments left behind. It will happen sooner or later; acceptance makes it easier.

Peace at any price is what you crave today but it's not a good idea to allow someone to get away with bad behaviour. A partner or young child might try using emotional blackmail as a way to get around you. Give in to them and this could become a habit. Even if it is an effort to say 'no' and you wish life could be easier, you will be saving yourself future hassle by remaining resolute.

If your head says one thing but your heart another, consider that it might be rational to follow your instincts! A part of the way you express your individuality is how you act on your hunches. If you and a partner have different goals that bother you, going along with them just to keep them smiling will only lead to resentment. Don't um and ah anymore. Go for what you feel in your heart is the best path for you.

It won't take a lot of encouragement for you to act on ideas to improve your world; you're ready to make a start! Enhancing your surroundings gives you a chance to express your creativity and individuality. Nobody will argue with your suggestions, after all, you have great taste in art and decor. What may cause some slight discrepancy is the cost of it all. Whatever the price you will find a resourceful way to execute your ideas.

You have a right to privacy but the person who is prying into your affairs may also have a right to know. Why not give them the information they're looking for because sooner or later, they will get it from you! There are some things you cannot keep to yourself no matter how hard you try. As meddlesome as some people happen to be, you can't hold it against them if they're just doing their job!

A recent money or legal transaction preys on your mind; you might wonder whether you've made the right choice. You may have the added burden of knowing your decision won't only effect your future but will have consequences on other people's lives too. A time of change is on the cards and although you don't feel ready, the wheels are already turning and there's nothing you can do to stop them.

Something's holding you back as you try to postpone an event or conversation that's going to happen anyway. Why not get it over with as the good news is: the inevitable may not be as bad as you think! You could never have guessed the outcome of today's transactions and communications. The fact someone has taken you completely by surprise will be an understatement. Their words will knock you for six and you will be secretly pleased with what goes on today!

Leave out a certain person's name in conversations if the very thought of them seems to be upsetting other people! Someone has caused a lot of trouble in the recent past and emotional wounds are still raw. Do your utmost to keep the atmosphere peaceful and you could do this by avoiding sensitive subjects. If ties have been cut and this sets you free to take charge of your life, despite the sadness it has caused, ultimately, it will be worth it.

Someone's using their length of service to an institution or organisation to intimidate you; don't let them. Being 'part of the furniture' isn't a measure of personal worth and if you do your homework you could discover they aren't as knowledgeable or as efficient as they make out. If people like you come along to shake them out of their rut, things will change. You're good at spotting opportunities others miss today.

It can be a real burden trying please a housemate or partner when they're in a demanding and fractious mood. Sometimes you might wonder why you bother. More successful will be your business dealings when you get the chance to take clever advantage of information from an insider source. Don't be too quick to turn away from someone who wants to talk to you. Even if you feel you haven't got the time, you will be interested in what they have to say!

Stop beating yourself up for situations in the past that could have been handled differently. If you made a few wrong choices, it has happened, there's nothing you can do about it now so let it go! Find ways to let off emotional steam. This may be as simple as developing a latent artistic or creative talent. You're weaving yourself into a right old mess if you keep dwelling on ideas of what might have been!
