Practising the gentle art of persuasion could be exhausting – especially if you're trying to get round rules and regulations. Negotiations that would affect your way of living could proceed at pace – once you've got over the not so insignificant problem of someone being off sick just when you need them around. You might have to rely on your own inner voice to make a decision – which could be an exhausting process.

Your batteries may be well on the way to being recharged. The process could be helped by being near water or being close to someone born under one of the Water signs (Cancer, Scorpio or Pisces). It might also be that you're now in the midst of change that could be described as dramatic. The assistance of a Taurus friend who shows understanding and talks you through practicalities could be invaluable.

Natural enthusiasm and idealism could be on collision course with practicalities. You might need a 'referee' or agent to act on your behalf. Balance might not be easy to find on any level. Even choosing an outfit could prove a dilemma too far. Good news could come through contact with someone who practises the art of decision-making using techniques that are unusual and almost magical.

It will surely take for you to feel the full effect of last week's Solar Eclipse in your sign. In fact, it could take months. In this curious period before the Lunar eclipse on 28th, you could feel both overwhelmed and excited. There may be so many options to consider. At one level, you perhaps need time out (holiday time), to gather strength before moving forward. At another level you could be excited by recent contacts and what they appear to offer. It wouldn't be so surprising if one of these offered a variation on work you did some years ago. The difference this time is that rather than seeing other people's hopes being realised, you could manifest your own. A major feature may be news reaching you on 19th that is as delightful as it is unexpected.
