It's time to take off the kid gloves and have a long, honest talk with a loved one who is causing you heartache. You can salvage your relationship by admitting your deepest fears. If you keep your concerns under wraps, they will manifest themselves in jealous behaviour. Unless you’re really willing to take a gamble things can never improve.

Someone who is new to your social circle could spark your interest with an insightful remark about your true nature. It just goes to show that appearances can be very deceiving. You're going to have to work your way into this person's good graces, as your recent behaviour has made a very unfavourable and negative impression on them.

Your world revolves at twenty to the dozen as the Sun moves to be in league with Mercury in the early hours of Monday: be prepared to give up your free time. Opportunities to improve your circumstances may meet you at every turn. However, you're going to have to remove hangers-on from your life if you're going to meet the challenge.

All work and no play make life incredibly dull; that's why you owe it to yourself to cut down your work schedule. It's time to resurrect creative impulses that you've kept buried for the sake of your job. Yes, these artistic dynamics may create waves in your personal world, but at least you'll feel alive and ready to live again.

Working from home could be a good way to earn extra money, but consider what effect it could have on your domestic situation. You need to get into a regular routine so that your personal and private lives don't bleed into one another.

Ferreting out new financial opportunities should be a piece of cake now that the Sun and Mercury begin to align in your second house of wealth and worth. Don't let authority figures try to box you into a title that's convenient for them. You've got many talents; show them off to your best advantage and you’ll soon be living the life of Riley.

Take care not to spring a plan on a loved one too suddenly; it takes lots of time to process the idea of change. Of course, when you're ready to charge full steam ahead with this project consider whether your new direction is simply a means of avoiding some unresolved issues or business. You must play devil’s advocate to survive.

It may be time to remove yourself from the social scene for the sake of sorting out conflicting emotions right now. You need to rediscover what is important to you; the ideas and beliefs that once held true for you may no longer have any meaning. This is just further proof that you are growing and changing and moving away from your original stance.

There's an old saying that goes: you've got to stand for something or else you'll fall for anything. This phrase holds especially true for you now. Blindly following where everyone else leads is spiritually deadening and personally demeaning. Start asking what your true purpose in life is: if you don’t have one then it’s time to get one.

Be careful what you say in mixed company, because you're soon going to be accountable for your words. This is one of those situations that demand you to fill in the gaps of your education.

Venturing into unfamiliar territory isn't necessarily a bad thing; in fact, it's one of the best things you can do for yourself. This is a lesson in trust; put yourself in the hands of others who know what they are doing. Don't be surprised if your relationships start to improve as a result of any experience where you rely on a partner without question or hesitation.
