HEALTH: Certain individuals or perhaps institutions have been giving you quite a difficult time. They have wanted exclusive facts or information that at the moment is nearly impossible to provide. Reason has nothing to do with certain demands. You may still be tempted to battle and keep things afloat as long as possible. Just do not give up easily without giving your best shot or as long as one still has the ability to continue breathing. Be sure not to let it affect your health.

LUCK: For quite sometime, one has been feeling restless and eager to make changes but been prevented by various obligations. Just watch out for potential signs or be more observant of surrounding events that are preventing certain changes from happening. Take you own sweet time and pace to adapt with the flow rather than trying to fight off the potential threat. If and when elimination of the threat is not possible, perhaps accepting the last possible option available may not be a bad idea after all. It is certainly better than incurring more serious damages.

MONEY: One has long known certain arrangements were unjust but has been unable or unwilling to tackle or expose them. However you will be surprised to discover useful insights and extremely smart solutions to suddenly appear from nowhere. Some require merely a fresh perspective, others demand pure trust. Do not waste valuable time analyzing them. The swift pace means even a minor delay to respond could compromise their financial potential.

ROMANCE: At the moment, love life or relationship is not working the way you intended. It could mean that you have not planned as well as you thought and perhaps worse still, that your aim might not be realistic. Reconsider where one may have used the wrong approach or one's expectation of the counterpart could have been too high. Normally it is easier to see other's faults instead of your own. It is never too late to repair any unintentional damage as long as one is taking the corrective step to reach out first.

HEALTH: Destiny seems determined to interfere with your health. To a certain extent, that seems to be true. However certain arrangements that are being thrown into chaos are actually clearing the way for the challenging, if entirely unexpected events that may take place between now and the next month. While these rewrite both your short-term and long-range schedules, they are also ushering you into a cycle of happiness beyond anything you did previously imagine possible.

LUCK: Those closest to you, either at work or at home are on the verge of a serious battle. If they insist of talking things over, listen attentively but offer no prompt advice. If that seems uncaring, you will soon discover the issues involved are far deeper, more complex and more emotionally charged than you envisaged. Remaining neutral demands exquisite diplomacy, (maybe not your style), but it can also mean that once the dust settles, you can begin the healing process by not taking sides. This does depend on your own wisdom and experience.

MONEY: The obstacles you encountered recently have a purpose indeed. They may slow you down enough to consider the new concepts or offers currently appearing. Some are disruptive but all are intriguing. Do bear in mind that in showing interest, you are not promising anything at this stage, merely exploring every alternative opportunity. That knowledge makes you less hesitant about taking things further and makes no promises for the arrangements are bound to change again sooner than you imagine.

ROMANCE: While you are thrilled about the exciting developments influencing those around you and to a certain extent reshaping your life style or relationship, you are also cautious. You may already sense the confusion that will set in sooner than thought. If possible, do not misinterpret the discord around you as an indication that things are likely to go the opposite direction. It is just that people react to the extreme combination of developments or progress.

HEALTH: A steady diet of impossible situations and difficult individuals is certainly no fun. Hopefully you have realized that patience and tact achieve more than confrontation. Certainly where you have refused to get upset or alternatively beat a strategic retreat, things will turning around on their own. Be flexible during this month, and make the best of them. If you have already adopted a philosophical approach, then instead of struggling with the ups and downs, you should be able to remain serene.

LUCK: The month's biggest challenge is understanding the difference between achieving things your way, which you could not and events being in your best interest. While parts of the plans you have been working on for months is bearing fruit, the results will be different from what you originally envisaged or expected. Once you are over the initial disappointment, you will realize that changes or perhaps being forced to change your working style or working with those who are more knowledgeable, will lead to real improvement and hopefully help to reach your goal.

MONEY: Sometimes opportunities come in various forms or disguises. Bearing this in mind, instead of battling seemingly disruptive events, you should try to go with the flow. The problem is that certain seemingly worthwhile arrangements must end before you recognize these new and thrilling developments. If ever there was a time to have faith, it is now and you should not be disappointed with the outcome.

ROMANCE: Unlikely as it seems, the obstacles you are facing are meant to slow your pace, indirectly forcing you to reflect on seemingly uncaring arrangements. By the middle of the month, you should have reconsidered, just better prepared when the time for real commitments approaches. Rushing things can only complicate matters since there is much more to learn than you realize.

HEALTH: This is not your month. Medical plans will neither proceed in the direction you intended nor at the pace you hoped. Accept that and you will be surprised how relaxed your approach is to changes that would ordinarily drive you crazy. Try to think of a more positive approach especially under such challenge of treading into unknown territory. Things might not be totally bad as originally envisaged at the beginning.

LUCK: Take others' complaints too much to heart and you will waste time trying to right wrongs that are not really important. Hardhearted as ignoring these seems, but within days, changes mean those efforts would have been totally unnecessary. Instead of occupying yourself with various tedious tasks you have been putting off. You will not only eliminate them from your to-do-list, but you will be kept informed when those changes require sudden decisions.

MONEY: Opportunities are appearing in peculiar manners, such as sudden and extremely inconvenient changes in existing arrangements. Normally you would try to bridge the gap. For a change, do not do so, but instead try thinking outside the box, questioning why you are trying hard to preserve them. Indirectly you are looking for options and this could mean altering long-standing elements of your work or lifestyle. Looks like you will be landing a winning streak when the offers appear on your doorstep.

ROMANCE: Current rather unpredictable mood swings could lead to blow-ups, if you focus on discovering the source of the problems, particularly with loved ones and family members. Stresses have built up gradually but could easily overshadow what would otherwise been happy times. Discussions need not be lengthy or overly psychological. However you will need to own up to your own responsibilities. Do not expect the unexpected.

HEALTH: You so dislike being the bearer of negative news that you have been avoiding certain topics or individuals for eons. No matter how hard one tries to hide, and dreading the resulting scenes, others have long known something was amiss. Hence they will be relieved that you have finally taken up the courage and discuss issues frankly without holding back. Your health can improve dramatically when such stress or emotional burden is eventually discarded for good.

LUCK: Unlikely as it seems, the obstacles you are facing are meant to slow your pace, forcing you to reflect on seemingly unchanging arrangements. As an alternative, you may consider this as another form of test. Within weeks, they will shift, so the more options you consider, the better prepared you will be when it is time to commit. Continue to explore 360 degrees because once the dust settles, what now seems least likely could suit you perfectly.

MONEY: Destiny seems determined to impede your money-making plans. To a certain extent, that could be true. However, the arrangements being thrown along a path are actually clearing the way for a thrilling, if entirely unexpected event that takes place between now and the new moon. While these would rewrite both your short-term and long-range schedules, they are also ushering you into a cycle of happiness beyond anything previously imagined possible.

ROMANCE: If you have been feeling confused recently when your heart tells you things that contradict with your head, then perhaps you are at a cross roads, having lost your compassionate compass. Others may advise or suggest following your hearts desire, living life with certain risks rather than being cocooned in a sheltered environment. There is no single right or wrong answer; only you can decide what is appropriate at the moment or needed. Or on the other hand, if you accept fate could influence your love life, miracles can happen.

HEALTH: No time to doubt or suspect that you may be suffering from a certain chronic illness especially when you are too preoccupied with daily chores or working like a headless chicken. Hopefully it is not too late to discover the roots of the problem and seeking prompt medical treatment. Timing is crucial to undergo rapid medication treatment and with a little bit of luck; one could recover in a relatively short period. Otherwise, the consequences could be quite awful.

LUCK: Because you have invested so much effort and thought even into minor decisions, when things go wrong, you tend to worry excessively if not blaming yourself. Such continuous behavior could drive you crazy. As an alternative, view certain arrangements as part of a process and focus on what you can learn or benefit, rather than on getting things completely right. This may prove hugely informative and better yet ensures that when dramas unfold, you should not assume they are your fault. Put in another perspective, "Instead of the glass being half full, consider that the glass is half empty".

MONEY: Once you realize that with so much in transition around you, even the simplest plans are likely to go through several versions; you will actually enjoy making the necessary changes in order to adapt. This provides you with an excellent opportunity or excuse to meet new people and explore new options. Tempting as some are, merely express interest at this stage. While things seem clear for now, within this period unexpected twists will require yet more changes.

ROMANCE: Life is never too short to do certain silly things (within sensible reasons) when a sudden urge propels you to do so. Such kind of feeling is difficult to define or merely impossible to analyze. Affecting an individual, who is either first time in love or for those who found love again after a long dormant period, just an increase in adrenaline rushing through your system makes you feel lively or superb, and able to achieve things with relative ease. Go with the flow until the effects gradually wear out.

HEALTH: The ability to abstain from certain activities that could continue to harm your health, demonstrates that you have control over your lifestyle and not be dictated by circumstances, either due to work, pleasure or both. There is a limitation where the body could endure the indirect consequences of abuse, so hopefully it is not too late to recognize the early warning signs. Ignorance is not bliss under such circumstances. Choosing to ignore the signs can only lead to more complex scenario where the body ultimately cannot withstand the stress.

LUCK: The month's biggest challenge is understanding the difference between having things your way, which you could not, and events being in your best interests. While certain plans you have been working on for months finally come to fruition, the results will be different from what you did originally envisage. Once you have overcome the initially disappointment, you should realize that changes or perhaps being forced to work with those who are more knowledgeable, could lead to more concrete improvement overall.

MONEY: You could be on a steep learning curve dealing with financial matters during this month. Between the sudden changes in circumstance and confusion, things are not at all straightforward. This makes planning or financial commitment nearly impossible. Instead of struggling to maintain some kind of order, let go completely. This is out of normal character but gradually you will discover a new approach to life that is less dominated by your diary and more open to the unexpected. Once you start taking things as they come, you will experience unanticipated joy in the most surprising scenarios.

ROMANCE: You have known certain arrangements were unfair to either party concerned and family, but have been unable or unwilling to interfere or tackle them. Behind the scene, you could be trying or searching hard for a clear solution but in vain. There are things or situations that with human interference may not necessarily result in a more positive outcome as you like or prefer to imagine. Perhaps there are deeper reasons or purposes of such arrangements that are difficult for you or the rest of the parties involved to accept at this stage.

HEALTH: You seem to be taking life too seriously on issues concerning health, pensions or possessions. But with so much in transition, every dawn brings new health or medical information and changes in circumstances. So the battle you win one day is a hollow victory the next. Instead ensure that personal views are abundantly known, check in regularly with developments. That way, one will get through tricky periods well informed and on speaking terms with the majority. Be aware of the difference between living and merely surviving in this modern era.

LUCK: You do not miss much, and in fact you usually are the first to pick up the latest trends, places and people. During this period, however you could be forced by events or perhaps you discover of what you have been missing, to explore new and quite foreign territory. While this may involve travel, those realms could just as well have to do with activities, friendships, romance or intellectual pursuits, you have either written off as boring or were unaware of. However you will need to assess carefully who and what is worth pursuing with greater intensity. Obviously, not everything will hold your interest, what you learn or discover will remain with you enhancing your knowledge for the rest of your life.

MONEY: Not only must you organize your life, you are also shouldering the responsibility for a number of people - loved ones, some close and others not so. However when stunning opportunities are either organized by others or appear from nowhere, you grumble, if not creating obstacles. You may complain you were not consulted from the beginning. Perhaps the real issue may be your discomfort of being on the receiving end of generosity. Have an appreciation or consideration to those working hard extending their open arms to you.

ROMANCE: It is no secrets that you enjoy a challenge. So much that bizarrely, if things seem too easy or straightforward, you will spot something you distrust or make changes that complicate the relationship. Instead of avoiding troubles you are heading in the opposite direction, causing undesirable outcome for those involved. Patching things up does require twice the amount of effort, energy and diplomacy. Hopefully you have not destroyed the bridge of peace and love.

HEALTH: You dislike intrusive enquiries about personal health, life and situations in which one feels vulnerable. However they are sometimes unavoidable and once those questions are answered, you will realize the importance and benefit it could bring to those related or affected. Do not let the fear within of not knowing hold you back. Once an understanding has been reached, you should be able to relax and enjoy a much better life style and improved health.

LUCK: Being inquisitive by nature, you usually regard challenging situations or disruptions to plans as an opportunity to learn something and meet interesting people. However the attitude of certain individuals is not nearly as enthusiastic and you are struggling with them. They may have said they wanted your guidance, while actually it is your undivided attention that they seek. On closer observation, you could discover dilemmas that they are perfectly capable of dealing with themselves. So leave them to it and soon they will get the message and leave you alone.

MONEY: Initially, other's enthusiasm for new ideas seems unrealistic and pushy. Do not rule things out from the outset; you may need to adopt a fresh approach or view about numerous matters being discussed. Not only could they be right, but going along with their certain suggestions could achieve some positive results. You have no financial risks involved by listening to their proposal but every possibility of gaining from it.

ROMANCE: Certain complex personal and relationship questions have remained unresolved for quite sometime. Suddenly such issues spring up unexpectedly. It heightens your own feelings and creates a sense of uneasiness. Just as important, it brings all related matters to the surface and triggers events - some pleasant and others you wish to have totally buried. There is no easy way in overcoming them but through taking one step at a time. Slowly but surely you should be able to untangle those knots. Reaching an amicable solution requires courage and honesty from all parties concerned.

HEALTH: Recent medical confusion promises remarkable insights about your health and certain problematic aspects of your life. One will require a quiet moment to reflect on the issues highlighted by the professional medical team. It is not about solutions but recognizing what is not working. It requires a certain rigor and refusal to be distracted by soothing activities that sound tough but necessary. However what one learns from such accidental discoveries could transform your health and lifestyle.

LUCK: You have strong convictions about certain matters that involve the world around you and more importantly issues of a personal nature. Perhaps it is about time to review these when your mind is clear and in a calm environment. In some cases, the circumstances have changed but you have not updated your views. In others, you have evolved more than you realize. If you stick with those old and increasingly outmoded, beliefs, when events require swift decisions, you could easily make the wrong ones or not fit for purpose.

MONEY: This month's motto is "haste makes waste". Just remember that you can avoid making hasty arrangements or decisions relating to financial issues that you could later regret. Unexpected twists could free you from certain burdensome situations; you are better off concentrating on what is happening and not on attempt to make future plans. The odds of success with future plans are not in your favor under present circumstances. However this does not mean you should give up totally. Enjoy what you have presently, and worry less about the distant future momentarily.

ROMANCE: Seeking specific answers to your present relationship situation could lead you to another arena of greater mysteries and danger. Intriguing to begin with but as you are getting closer to the truth or answer, you wish you had not bothered with at the beginning. The inability to accept the facts or truth can result in more agony unless you are prepared to accept the consequences. It may be discomforting to discover the truth under such circumstances but at least it helps you to decide any new moves forward.

HEALTH: Having agonizing over certain essential decisions concerning personal or family member's health situations, you are unhappy about changing them. However this month, if unsettling events continue, you will experience compassion fatigue and should not undermine it. After having exhausted several approaches to improve the situation proves futile, perhaps you can suggest alternate solutions but not necessary having to give up totally. This may be a testing moment for both parties in terms of patience and faith. With a little bit more faith and perhaps a minor miracle, you may ultimately seek the answer from afar.

LUCK: Things are proceeding very differently from anything you have planned, but that does not mean they are going wrong. Actually some changes are breaking up patterns that could prevent you from recognizing the approaching thrilling opportunities. No doubt this hardly seems the ideal moment to be dealing with unfamiliar territories. Still once you realize the potential freedom it provides, rather than viewing this chaos as a liability, you will regard it as a good omen or even a gift.

MONEY: The decision-making process is so exhausting that the idea of abandoning certain hard-won arrangements is unthinkable. However with a recent shake up of your work and lifestyle, things cannot remain as they are. At least discussing your various options may help to lift the tension, which may however not be sufficient to resolve the issue. It is a start and from this, new ideas could spring in various directions and keep the momentum rolling forward. Perhaps the option of doing nothing is not an option after all.

ROMANCE: Obviously you will not be thrilled to learn that already worrying situations involving intimate friends or loved ones could become more tense and confused. Challenging as exchanges are initially, you are amazed how swiftly you are able to chat about them openly and amicably. Do what you can but forget about perfecting a new plan. The rest could depend on the outcome.

HEALTH: It would be agreeable if you were as excited as others are about remarkable developments unfolding in your life. These could improve your lifestyle, emotionally and health wise, leading to achieving once-distant goals. Any happiness is dulled by concern about upsetting others, especially those who one cares about most, loved ones or family members. When one has better options, one will tackle practical matters first, and then deal with personal or emotional issues.

LUCK: The hurdles you encounter this month have a purpose. They are slowing you down enough to consider new ideas or offers currently appearing over the horizon. Some are disruptive but all are intriguing and challenging. Bear in mind that in showing keen interest, you are not promising anything, merely exploring the options. That knowledge makes you less hesitant about taking things further. At this stage, make no promises; even simple arrangements are bound to change in a twist.

MONEY: While you are undoubtedly hearing all sorts of rumors, much of it worrying, there is no reason for concern. This period is about focus, discipline and most of all, achieving cherished goals. There may be hints of such developments this month, but you are more likely to be considering which elements of your life do not work. There is no better beginning for a cycle of change that will ultimately transform your world.

ROMANCE: After a relatively long phase when life seemed to be shaped by a combination of fate and the whims of others, one is finally regaining a degree of control. The more you learn about both the situation you are dealing with and the trustworthiness of certain individuals, the more you realize that before making any serious relationship commitments, questions must be raised. While obtaining answers, unexpected and often touching revelations about the attitude and past actions of certain individuals is hugely reassuring, so one can live with uncertainty about the rest.
