A friend's emotional outburst could bring to mind issues from your own past; explore these feelings before they run away from you again. The Moon's conjunction to Uranus is conducive to sudden flashes of insight that will allow you to break old, destructive patterns that have been holding you back and stultifying your progress.

Putting a happy face on a terrible situation is no longer an option for you; it's time to lay your cards on the table. Friends and neighbours may be shocked by your shocking revelations, but you'll feel strangely calm once the truth is out for all to hear. Once you do, it will be like a weight lifted from your shoulders.

A person you respect could make a surprising announcement that changes the way you look at them forever more. This is not necessarily a bad thing. You need to realise that we are all human and prone to making stupid mistakes from time to time. It's your job to forgive, forget, and move on.

An exciting encounter with a stranger could conjure up sexual feelings you haven't experienced in years. What caused this fire to die within you, and why has it been rekindled again? It looks as though you're at a crossroads. Are you willing to continue with the old, boring routine, or try something new?

Relationship matters will not be resolved if you continue to ignore the repeated requests of your partner. Dismissing your lover's needs as irrelevant is the fastest way to tear your bond apart. If you don't have a partner but keep hearing the same complaints about your personality from close friends, change your approach.

Improving your health and appearance takes time, so don't push yourself past the limits of endurance. You need to set a plan that will allow you to meet a series of small but realistic goals over a long period of time. You won't think twice about taking yourself in hand once you get into the habit of treating yourself well.

Breaking with routine helps you to see where you've created a safe, secure, but cloying prison for yourself these past few weeks. What became of that impulsive, spontaneously creative person you used to be? It's time to stop doing what everyone expects and start enjoying the activities you love again.

An unexpected visitor or communication could put your household plans on hold, but try not to get too worked up about it. The fact is, this person could open your eyes to the shabby way you've been treating someone close. Don't let remorse consume you; just take steps to change your behaviour. It's that simple.

A community gathering could be a lot more exciting than you anticipated when a member of the group becomes extremely demanding issuing ultimatums and deadlines. Resist the urge to rein this person in; their free expression will loosen up everyone else. Be honest: you wish you could be that shameless at times.

A fine money-making idea could come to you while observing an impassioned exchange between strangers. Move forward with this inspiration, even if it doesn't receive much support from experts in the field. The most innovative concepts take a while to catch on; keep plugging away. You will achieve success by believing in yourself.

How can you get a schedule of self-improvement off the ground until you hold yourself to your promises? Write a list of your ambitions and tape them where you can see them; recite them aloud regularly in an object lesson of positive visualisation. Once you get over the initial hurdle of holding yourself accountable, the rest will be easy.

A disturbing dream or feedback could reveal unpleasant truths about the way you've been conducting yourself in public. If you've been acting in a less than honourable way, don't bother to make apologies; just change your behaviour. Over time, people will forget their original unfavourable impression of you.
