Domestic change might be made necessary by the arrival of someone much younger too. It might even be necessary for you to help move furniture. (horoscopes.co.uk)

You are going out of the way to steer well clear of people who are likely to tie you down. This is a time of personal growth, new insights and better times to come if you allow yourself to step across old fears.
