You're more competitive than usual, which is quite intimidating to your rivals. When you set your mind on something, you're virtually unstoppable. That's why it's a good idea to go after cherished goals, instead of ones designed to impress others. Getting in shape, acquiring more power, or starting a business venture are all favoured. Choose the dream that affords the most pleasure, and you won't go wrong.

It's wise to keep a low profile, especially when it comes to advancing your agenda. People will be less likely to fall in with your plans if you make a fuss over them. By acting as if you couldn't care less about a proposed course of action, you'll trick your opponents into following it. This may be a sneaky way of doing business, but sometimes you have to be underhanded to get what you want.

Working with a big group gives you lots of satisfaction, because you don't feel so vulnerable. If certain things go wrong, you'll share the blame with others. If your efforts are successful, your happiness will be magnified a thousand times. It's pretty much a winning situation all the way around. Don't give too much credence to a manipulative person who wants you to take up their cause. This could reflect badly on your reputation.

Fulfilling your potential is essential to your happiness, so give yourself a hard push towards a dream. Whether this means starting at the bottom of a big institution or being a bit more aggressive than usual is up to you. The fact is, there are golden opportunities available, but you need to grab them. You are often mistaken for a shrinking violet, which is hardly the case. Start showing off your impressive executive ability.

You're feeling quite defensive about your origins, as they helped make you into the person you are today. Try not to take offence if a friend expresses disapproval about the way you were raised. People are often afraid of things they don't understand. If you accept their comments calmly, they'll be more likely to give your views the respect they deserve. Be patient. Tempers are running high today.

Clearing away some old business is imperative before you move into new territory. Although you may have to assume duties you don't really enjoy, that's better than letting them lie dormant. If you're overwhelmed by bills and budgeting, ask a fiscally-minded friend for help. They'll show you a system that allows you to take care of these matters with a minimum of fuss. There's no better gift for an efficient person like you.

Normally, you're quite passive in love, preferring to be the prey instead of the hunter. Today, you're feeling quite daring, and may make a bold play for someone you fancy. If you're in a relationship, your partner will be delighted by this turn of events. If you're not, you could be in for a lovely surprise. It's gratifying to know that your sentiments are returned, and that you can put romance in motion.

You can get a great deal of work accomplished if you put your mind to it. Don't bother with big jobs until you've got the small ones out of the way. If you have any energy at the end of the day (and chances are you will), it's a good idea to go to the gym. A brisk workout will keep your mind fresh and alert, and help you work out stubborn problems.

You've always been an active sort of person, and that's especially true today. Fun pursuits like dancing and sports are highly favoured. If that means taking the day off, so be it. All work and no play dulls your sensibilities. Your romantic prospects are also looking up. A dreamy sort of person could catch your eye, making you wonder about their relationship status. Waste no time in finding out.

Do-it-yourself household projects give you a sense of pride and accomplishment. There's no reason to hire a professional when you've got a pair of capable hands. If you're not sure of how to proceed with a particular job, just check out some how-to books from the library. Your success with one endeavour may lead to a whole series of renovations. You never know what you are capable of until you try.

Getting more education is imperative to moving forward. You simply can't progress until you fill in the gaps of your knowledge. Fortunately, a free-spirited instructor is prepared to take you under their wing. If you stop trying to fight their efforts, you could learn a great deal. Admittedly, it's hard for a bright person like you to admit ignorance in any area. The sooner you do, though, the faster the problem will be fixed.

You're very enterprising right now, and may hit on a brilliant idea for making money. Putting yourself before the public in some unusual way could result in huge profits for you. Don't be shy about demonstrating your wares in public, as you're sure to attract an appreciative audience. Yes, some of your loved ones may think you've become insane, but you'll have the last laugh when the money starts pouring in.
