You didn't choose your family like you did your friends, but you still have a certain amount of responsibility when it comes to their well-being. Try to be as helpful as possible. Accept responsibility for your mistakes, admit when you're wrong and accept any apologies headed your way. Taking the first step down the path of reconciliation isn't as difficult as you think. This is your chance to set things straight between you and an estranged relative, and you should make the most of this opportunity.

What do you see when you look around your home? If you don't like the paint color that's on the walls, the accessories or the major pieces of furniture, this is the time to make some changes. Beauty is an important element in your life, so if anything is out of place, you aren't happy. It might be time for some radical changes. Keep in mind that while you don't have to be an expert in interior design to know what works and what doesn't, sometimes it helps to have a second opinion.

You have a firm grip on all of your things and you don't want to let any of them go. What is causing you to be so possessive? Chances are there is plenty of everything to go around. Loosen your stronghold and think about sharing what you have with the other people in your life. And try not to keep such close tabs on trivial things, such as whose food is whose or who bought the last round of drinks. Sometimes the more you give, the more you get in return. And besides, it might be nice to be known as the generous one.

If you know what you want, don't be afraid to go after it. Now it's your turn to watch your dreams come true. The stars are on your side, which should provide you with the assertiveness you need to go after the things you find important. Use your intuition if you get stuck about which way to go next. Your inner voice is shouting directions to you, but you have to be willing to listen to benefit from it. Although others may offer you their assistance, a certain amount of satisfaction comes with the knowledge you're doing this on your own.

You might be feeling surprisingly sensitive right now, which means an offhand remark could hurt your feelings pretty easily. Try to take other people's comments with a grain of salt, or at least don't let them know that what they've said is bothering you. Some people might try to get a rise out of you if they know you're prone to taking things a little too seriously. Wear a calm exterior, but let the people closest to you know you're hurting inside. You can take great pride in the way you're conducting yourself.

Rely on your best friends for support if you need it. You have strong shoulders and can handle most situations, but it's nice to know you have allies just in case. Spending time with other people -- preferably a big group of your closest friends or family members -- is a good way to pass the time, and you're the perfect host or hostess. You're particularly good at taking care of party-related arrangements, so this is a good time to throw an impromptu gala. You have a knack for perfecting everything right down to the smallest detail, so the get-together is sure to be a smashing success.

Things may not be progressing at the rate you'd like them to, but at least you're making significant headway. It might be tempting to give up on projects that have been a long time in the making, but you're closer to completion that you think you are. Buckle down and really focus on what you have to do. The more you put off the tedious, more painstaking steps of the process, the longer it will be until you complete it and can finally wash your hands of the whole thing.

You're the intellectual of the group, the person who asks the meaningful questions and digs for the answers. The big issues are important to you right now, but you're also enjoying the attention you're attracting. Just make sure you don't use big words you don't know the meanings of. On the same note, make sure you're actually asking questions you're really curious about, not just the ones that sound good.

This is a great time to brainstorm, collaborate and form new partnerships with people who really have something interesting to say. You aren't in the same mood as all of your friends, but that doesn't mean you can't hang out together. Your differences complement each other right now, which makes get-togethers all the more energetic. If someone expresses an idea or opinion you don't understand or agree with, don't hesitate to question it. You can learn a lot by discussing different topics with different types of people, and they can learn a lot from you as well.

Changes are on the way for you, so be open to any and all possibilities that enter your life. You may have to deal with some old issues to make room for new opportunities, but taking care of past business shouldn't be too difficult. There is one person who stands in your way right now -- and one person who can be of great assistance. It's up to you to figure out who is on your team and who isn't, but when you look at all the facts, the answer is obvious.

Half of life is just showing up, so don't sit this one out. The events that are about to take place are too important miss. Find a way to deal with whatever is bothering you and move on. Try not to let your emotions rule the rest of your body. You have enough inner strength to get through these circumstances, but you may not know it yet. Do whatever it takes to summon the courage you need to get past this so you can claim your next victory.

Although you don't usually seek out chances to be the center of attention, right now the stage is a perfectly comfortable place for you to be. If you have a real talent for the dramatic arts, this is a great time to pursue a career in the theater, movies or TV, or to explore other artistic arenas. If you're feeling more low-key, put on a show for your nearest and dearest. You'll be guaranteed a standing ovation.
