Your desire to experience something new is greatly intensified now that the Sun is conjunct transformative Pluto. Patterning your life after the status quo is so limiting. You have the chance to alter psychologically and experience a new you. The more you practice, the happier you will be. Leave the ordinary to cowards.

You realise just how much power you hold when you overhear a whispered conversation; stop underestimating your worth. Asserting your authority will change how you deal with others for the better. Yes, folks may fear you a bit, but they'll also give you the respect and admiration you deserve. Your life is on the verge of a beautiful transformation.

An intimate partnership will undergo a dramatic change once you stop taking a back seat to your lover. You must bring yourself forward if this affair is going to survive; it's very difficult to live with someone who never has an opinion. Stop pretending to agree with plans for the sake of harmony. Beware of growing destructive, obsessive tendencies.

Your willpower is especially strong today; this is your big chance to strengthen your body and mind. Let go of habits that have kept you numb for the past month or so. After a point, pain can actually be preferable to indifference. The first step on the road to recovery is to treat yourself with some revivifying self respect.

Charm and sex appeal help you to get around a prickly person; using some of your formidable psychological armoury will help too. The fact is, we all have to use underhanded means to get what we want sometimes. Fortunately, you won't have to take any extreme measures to win folk over. A creative project you launch has a unique quality about it.

If you cannot bear the sight of your home environment any longer, make some changes, otherwise, it will trap you to the point of suffocation. An arrangement that once seemed safe is more like a great weight around your neck. Don't be afraid to take a chance with your financial security. When you do what you love, the money will follow through.

It seems as though someone you've known for years has become a complete stranger to you; consider why things have changed. It may be because this person has decided to stop going along with the crowd. Try your best to support this decision; you may be on the brink of making a similar move after the Christmas Eclipse.

You've got to be resourceful with your cash and economy if you're going to attain the security you've always desired. Stop making excuses for why you haven't reached your goals yet. The sooner you act, the faster you'll reach your destination. Tune out relatives who disdain your plans; you need to think positive now.

Stop being so insensitive to someone who loves you; at the very least, you owe this person respect. Putting others down is a poor way to boost your own self esteem. The person you actually end up putting down is you, and today’s Sun/Pluto connection in your own sign gives you the chance for personal empowerment - so why not take it?

A distant memory or thought provides you with valuable insight into a paralysing fear you've had for years. It's time to confront the source of this pain; otherwise, it will continue to control your life. Seek out professional help or guidance if you need it. Talking it through with a complete stranger can help, too.

A powerful person could open a door of opportunity for your future; cash in this favour while it's available. Contrary to popular belief, nobody makes it alone in this world. It's time you stopped playing the rebel. The image is ‘sexy’ for a time, but begins to fade with age. We're here to learn from each other. Begin today.

Sitting at the bottom of the totem pole gets pretty boring after a while; isn't it time to exercise your ambitions? Responsibility isn't as bad as it seems, especially when you start to enjoy the privileges that come with an exalted status. Take this chance to exercise your personal power in a meaningful way; you'll never do it younger.
