There's an air of anticipation about your domestic world now; new interests are being shared within the family. Skills you are learning in your personal life could also find an outlet in your career. Be determined to keep to the new courses you've recently begun. It will take time and dedication to develop skills which will help you grow and develop, even so it will be worth it. Your success could bring about a significant change in your self-image.

If and when you need it there will be ample support from friends and workmates. You might find fulfilment through giving time and effort towards helping people in need. Offer your services to a local charity or fund raising venture. Your hunches will tell you it's time to go with changing events. Someone who is usually stuck in their ways might also show signs of restlessness. Give them all the encouragement they need to pull out of the rut they've got themselves into.

Have you become so complacent in certain areas you aren't now giving it your best shot? Do you know you are really trying to make a success of a special endeavour or are you just going through the motions? If you think you could apply yourself to do better, today is the day to make the effort. What is it you want: good, better or best? If it's the best you strive towards, you need to remember it won't happen without hard work and dedication.

A fear of rejection, commitment or sharing is preventing you from making a life changing decision. Words don't seem to describe what you are going through today. Confusion reigns when you keep weighing up all the consequences and still find yourself no further forward. You should tune unto your emotions and decide on what you really want. It is not about what other people think. It's about being true to yourself and who you really are.

You and a partner seem to need different things out of life now; you should get together and work it out between you. Sometimes you just need to walk in different directions to get where you want to be. This doesn't mean splitting up altogether; you will merely be opting to pursue some routes independently. A young relative's behaviour might give you some cause for concern until you realise people are taking what they are saying the wrong way.

You're quick to react today but perhaps too speedy to respond in a tense emotional situation. You might feel annoyed with yourself for saying something which you will later admit wasn't sensible or helpful. Be sure to welcome the chance to meet up later today to talk over a misunderstanding. A friend's advice might include the words 'just get over it' but if this was possible you would already have done so and it would no longer be an issue!

A change in direction could result in close ties growing stronger and stronger. Stay alert for new opportunities to better your joint lifestyle and be ready to grab them while you can. Trust your intuition if you have to make a quick decision. There will also be plenty of support from those who matter when you need it. So despite the changes you are thinking about making, you can rest assured you will never be without your friends.

If life or a close relationship lacks spice and you want to feel better, stay in this relationship or improve matters, get help. Even if it means talking to an older relative who knows you well, they will help you see things from a different perspective. You might think about branching into different fields or, if you are single, make new friends and widen your social circle. This evening, you could come to the rescue of someone who is about to make a big mistake.

There's nothing you will like worse today than working alongside someone who agrees with your every word. Frustrations come through knowing a friend or colleague isn't telling you what they're really thinking. You feel quite mad that despite your efforts to get others to speak their minds, they're clearly keeping thoughts to themselves. Everything seems to be running backwards and communications are confused. You can't seem to get anywhere very quickly.

A healthier bond starts developing between you and a lover after you both resolve to put past problems behind you. You might feel it's a good time to change the direction of a close relationship and once you've let others in on your current ideas, there's every chance they will go along with you. If you're single, this is a good time to push for marriage or moving in with your partner. Gossip heard this evening is not to be trusted. Don't pass on anything you hear.

Get professional help if you're finding it too difficult to deal with certain issues in your life on your own. A marriage guidance counsellor could help get a shaky relationship back on track. A financial advisor will give some sensible advice on how to make your money work better for you. Change is on the cards and you will sense you're about to make a break with links of the past and despite any sadness that occurs, the change will be good for you.

Other people might try to block your ideas because they don't fully understand what you're saying. If you're discussing love, money or a future holiday, don't leave it to others to try to read between the lines. The less complicated you make your explanations, the easier it will be for others to comprehend what you're saying. Work on sorting out the differences that come between you and a friend or loved one and listen to the ideas other people put to you.
