Be diplomatic if someone close is starting to smother you; it might hurt them if you're too blunt about it. A step towards independence in this relationship is to arrange it so you see less of each other. Good communication is necessary and will ensure others start to understand your feelings. There's no need to go your separate ways. Your creativity comes in useful now and you have some great ideas.

You're curious about how other people feel about everyday things in life. Through this you compare your own lifestyle with others to perhaps bring improvements into your own. Your mind is craving new insight and new windows into life; this is a natural way to develop and grow. Through your closest relationships you will get to know yourself better and as the day ends you might enjoy discussing future plans with a friend or partner.

It might be up to you to train a subordinate to do their job or oversee an important project. You have the energy to sail through whatever others expect of you now. You will prefer to show through demonstration rather than get into lengthy explanations; your skills and maturity speak volumes to others. People respect you as you prove it is cheaper to train employees to do their job efficiently rather than bring in others to do the work.

Someone's continual attempts to become as good as, or better than others is starting to annoy you. You'd prefer it if they could just be themselves. Their excessive desire to succeed is due to their low self esteem. In some instances a competitive outlook can be beneficial but if you feel it is alienating them from others and you would like to help, find a way to get them to be happy with whom they are.

Others need to realise money on its own is not what is motivating you now. Being offered more pay for a job you dislike isn't going to convince you it's worth staying put. Moving on to areas where you might find more fulfilment and greater enjoyment in life means more to you than material rewards. As long as you have enough to manage your everyday needs, you're looking to get more personal satisfaction out of your career.

If you sense someone isn't happy, speak to them about it. Ask if you can help, especially if they are a valued friend or colleague. Time spent helping others will not just forge stronger bonds in relationships but will also yield the sweet success of achieving your own goals. Because there is every chance opening the doors of communication can lead to a mutually beneficial partnership.

You feel like a square peg in a round hole when nothing to do with your job goes right these days. This might get you questioning whether it's time to choose a different career. Before doing anything drastic, think about what you want to do next. It might be worth taking a course to help you develop in areas you'd like to focus on in the future. In which case stay where you are a wee while longer, as you prepare for the next stage of your career journey.

Realistically, you are taking stock of the place you are right now and looking at reasons to take the next step forward. Considering new goals is where your dreams are born; these might considerably alter your vision in life. Every successful achievement starts with a plan. You're ready now to set for yourself a series of small goals in steps leading ultimately to the higher aims you're dreaming of.

Fill your day with a mix of interests and activities; spend too long on any one thing and you will grow bored. Take the chance offered to get involved in new social events even if this means you will play an important part in the organising and planning. Expanding your social contacts will enrich your life further. Conversations go beyond personal views and opinions as they inspire you to consider the role you have to play in society.

You might feel overwhelmed by a whole bunch of changes happening now; take it one at a time. If you aren't organised and try to get things done too speedily you will only end up wasting time later having to back track. Besides, you aren't likely to thrive in chaos. Don't worry if there is some initial disagreement in a group concern. Once a project is underway others will regard you with respect and admiration.

Careful planning and commitment is what's needed to realise your goals; start laying down foundations now. If a lack of money is what has kept you from chasing your dreams, your first step is to find an alternative source of income. Your fine judgement is operating at peak levels; this will help you spot opportunities as they arise. With intuition also riding high, you can back a hunch in the safe knowledge you are doing the right thing.

Seize an opportunity that is offered now and this could be one of the greatest moments in your life. If there is risk involved, it might seem you have too much to lose but have you weighed it all up correctly? This is your chance to push everything to the limit. Go after the job you think you will never get, travel with nothing but a backpack or approach the person you've always admired from a distance and ask them on a date. Take the risk and you're unlikely to regret it.
