You will have the urge to nurture and protect today. Good news for those of you who are parents. Those of you who aren’t could find that they dedicate a lot of their time to looking after people who are less able than themselves. Any form of care work or nursing will go especially well today. You all should find great comfort in a contact with a woman. The things that are said to you today are likely to give you a lasting feeling of warmth and love. Don’t forget to allow time for yourself, you should find the evening a good time to sit back and relax.

You may have been hoping for a lay in, however, things need doing around the house that simply can’t be ignored any longer. You may not enjoy painting and decorating, but now is a very good time to get started in something like this. Try not to attempt too large a project, if you can ease yourself into this sort of task slowly, perhaps by just attempting to redecorate one room, you may find in the weeks to come you end up doing your entire home. It will be a good idea not to spend the whole day working. Take time out in the middle of the day for relaxation. If you can go for a walk in the country or unwind in some other way, you will achieve much more.

This weekend, you may be keen to experience new things and to go to new places. A short trip looks as if it could bring special joy, particularly if you involve your entire family. Children may prove very excitable at the moment and there energy will quickly exhaust you. You could find yourself wondering whether you have ever possessed so much energy yourself. Luck may also be with you at the moment, and you could do a lot worse than to buy an extra lottery ticket. Parties will appear to be an effort. You may simply not have the energy, however, if you force yourself to go to a party, you will soon find that it is worthwhile and that you enjoy yourself far more than expected.
