This may be a challenging day that will give you an opportunity to use your skills to solve problems. This may be a good time to make a positive difference in worldly affairs or in someone’s life. You might look around for approval but if you continue to do this, you could lose the support of others. Move forward and do what you know to be the right thing; you will be pleased you did. You may find that both your personal growth and your career may depend upon how you can handle the problems that come up now. You will benefit from logical insights-getting to the heart of things. Penetrating. If possible, get away from the city lights this evening, perhaps with a loved one. A dinner away from home would be relaxing.
There are many more rewarding days this month than challenging. You may want to take off the rest of your weekend to just take the time to relax. Time away from regular responsibilities gives you new insight and renewed appreciation of just where you are in your life’s story. Opinions and beliefs of different cultures have an appeal for you. There is an interest in books that are spiritual, cultural or philosophical and you enjoy learning from others that have survived life’s difficult trials. Travel and adventure stories are compelling and you want to test your mettle. Tonight you and a friend may decide to enjoy some undiscovered tourist attraction. Learn about your city.
If you need a loan, today may be the best time to take on some extra work. Social affairs are available this afternoon and they are wonderful ways in which to network. Accept those invitations that will be coming now and through the middle of next month. Neighbors or relatives, brothers or sisters in particular, can be subjects for concern at home later today. If someone has important needs, you will be able to help in many ways. You may find that you could lend your time or guidance in just the right places. Work at developing your listening skills by giving feedback to what you hear. You will find the other person will appreciate your wanting to understand. Communications will improve. Make smart shopping choices.
This may be a challenging day. You may be experiencing a bit of a crunch as your career direction squares off against your more personal interests. This may be a real test for you. Be careful not to blow an opportunity for success. This is a good time to make some changes and reach new levels. You may have trouble getting moving, but once rolling, others better step aside. You have a stick-to-itiveness that always finds you in the thick of things. A lot of personal and sensitive psychological material may be surfacing, but you can handle it and turn it to your advantage. You may look back on this month as a very transforming and successful time. Romance, recreation and creativity take on an inspirational and value. Before the noon break there will be plenty of opportunities to solve work issues and direct people to whatever or wherever they need to go. You could be a store detective, a tour guide or a host. You are able to converse with customers and minimize any frustrations. You may have a chance to distract a youth that has no particular reason for being in your store. You love to communicate and discuss ideas with people and may find an avenue of information you can pull on when you need it. You may not have known of this new company or service. You are at your mental best when you are communicating with others. This evening you are highly motivated regarding a particular romantic relationship and you may find yourself showing off new clothes.
Ideology is a keynote of the new phase you have begun-the power of ideas and the power they wield over people. You may decide to gather a few couples together for a camping adventure. All of the friends you are thinking about like the idea of a camping adventure and you could do this trip as a photography adventure or just a fun camping experience. If the weather is good you might consider renting a houseboat. You have plenty of enthusiasm and warm up to things and people quickly. You have an inner selfconfidence that burns with its own light. Your tastes in art and appreciation in general are heightened this evening; you may find yourself creating or enjoying a visit to an art showing. Take your sketch pad and perhaps your checkbook.
Understanding others and getting them to understand you seem easier than ever at this time. People that were difficult to communicate with before now may seem to understand your messages so much better. Your timing should be perfect and those around you should find you most spontaneous and alive. Romance, recreation and creativity take on an inspirational and perhaps wildly idealized quality. Such experiences can be truly soul stirring. You may love the study of language and this fall is a good time to memorize a song, a poem or a saying or two in another language. If you are not into learning a different language, you might decide to practice your writing skills. You can appreciate an imaginative approach and may value futuristic ideas. Customers expect immediate responses to their inquiries. You are the one that usually finds the right solution. You can match the right company to the right customer or client, and when a person is a self-starter, you are able to help this person find the best direction in which to earn a living. The cast of characters today is enjoyable, if not a little quirky. Community or family concerns may hold your interest this afternoon. There is an interest in bringing people together. This could become involved in developing communications between neighbors, friends or family. Others want to help you achieve and you will find all the support or help you need. The urge to move or experience a different city may create a desire to roam . . . For the weekend perhaps.
