Today is a good time to step back and reevaluate your goals. It is said that every seven years or so allergies and sensitivities tend to change or mutate. In your case, this may be true of you where music and trends of thinking will change. You become more informed and mature from your experiences. At this time you may decide you want to start your own business. Discover where your talents are and keep developing these talents as you seek to become self-employed. Keeping a log of notes as to how you would proceed with your dream regarding your own business will help you become more determined. Keeping in practice with your own talents will

Put a closure on any old business or personal concerns today. Events make it easy for you to find new solutions to old problems. A clean break with the past in some respects is signaled for now. You will be making plans to complete unfinished business and clear away obligations. You may have always wanted to try your luck as a whitewater rafter, television worker, writer or painter. You may want to save a little more during this adjustment time while you make your plans. You are interested in what sort of work you could really sink your teeth into and what you could see develop into a productive project. Perhaps in shattering old molds you take charge of your life, become energized and take priority. Uniqueness and originality set you apart from others. Your creative abilities are at the ready and whatever you decide to do will have your own personal signature. Others are impressed by your quick results and your accomplishments-particularly on a short notice. Co-workers or higherups may have good news because of your endeavors at this time. You will find the likelihood of a raise or some other means that will increase your standard of living. This afternoon a meeting with friends may produce big plans for a future get-together, perhaps a cooking contest or sports event or hunting expedition. Whatever the case, the plans are perfect for great camaraderie. Life just keeps getting better as you find ways to relate to the people that mean a lot to you. There is a deepening of relationships now. This has been a productive time in that you are ready to move forward with your goals and eliminate any slowdowns that create that feeling of moving backward. Do something this afternoon that makes someone smile. Perhaps you have experienced the results of volunteer work in a worthy area. This is an investment of your time that is meaningful to everyone-a win-win situation. Look around; there may be an opportunity within the workplace to perform this generosity. Good deeds are contagious; before long you could have a whole group helping others. Take advantage of this evening by making some future plans. If others are busy, take this opportunity to play! Busy yourself with one of the many hobbies you have. Do not push issues.
