The expression 'you win some you lose some' recognises that life involves both successes and failures. The challenge is quantifying the 'some'. And counting triumphs and losses is harder than it seems. With the right attitude, a setback can be a learning opportunity; identifying our weak spots enables us to learn and adapt. And when we've struggled, dug deep, and managed to pull something off, the accomplishment means more than success that comes easily. If you persevere, you'll be stunned by what you achieve today.

Your Weekly Love Focus Horoscope: Think of the odds. Not only is the vast majority of the universe unfit for human life, only 30% of the surface of this ball of rock we call home is considered habitable - the rest is desert, water, ice, or mountains. Since there are very few places where we can happily exist, those areas are common ground. Sadly, we don't always respect that. We treat people who have slightly different habits/cultures as if they're members of another species. This week, by being generous to someone, you'll demonstrate what it means to be truly human.

Your Weekly Horoscope: Who's in control of the developments you're caught up in? There seems to be some confusion about whose hands are on the steering wheel - which means no one's sure about the direction you're heading towards. Normally, you're happy to go along with whatever's unfolding. But, since no one else seems to want/be able to take this on, it's time to step up! Action needs to be taken. And you've got the skills and ability needed. So stop doubting yourself and get moving. As the week progresses, you'll enjoy your new role.

'Much Ado About Nothing'. You can apply the title of Shakespeare's play to the situation that's unfolding on the stage of your life. Sometimes, when a drama arises out of nowhere and looks as if it's about to create a maelstrom of trouble, it disappears as quickly as it came. So, rather than throwing yourself into a chaotic scenario, pause. This weekend brings news that enables you to reassess a challenge. The perspective you gain will allow you to release yourself from the action, and focus on something much more pleasurable.

If we look into a source of light, the sheer brightness overpowers any shadow; it's still there, but we can't see it. Shadows need light to exist. And if there's absolutely no light whatsoever, we're in total darkness. Of course, between the two extremes there's a vast array of shades of grey - and finding ourselves in this area isn't always easy. Today brings a chance to look beyond the dreariness of a situation you're dealing with. You'll find a spark of hope that rekindles your optimism. And as that grows, so the way forward will light up.

We're supposed to keep our friends close, and our enemies closer. The inference is that if we monitor them carefully, we can predict their moves and neutralise their plans. The problem is that it's not always easy to work out who's on our side and who's not. Allies can surprise us by going against us. And perceived adversaries sometimes do things that turn out to be in our best interests. And don't forget, we can all be our own worst enemy! Today, if you forgo making a judgement on someone, you'll be delighted by what unfolds.

Since we all arrive on planet Earth with the capacity to learn, good manners come with practice. Which means that we all did things, at some point in our early years, that embarrassed our care-givers. It's over time that we learnt acceptable behaviour. Even if we were too young to understand why some things weren't allowed, we respected the etiquette. It's no wonder that as adults, we struggle to take risks where we might be vulnerable to criticism. You're smart enough to see that the gamble you're taking is worth it.
