Be open to new experiences, especially ones that make you uncomfortable. Venturing into unknown territory will pay off handsomely. Maintaining a routine is inhibiting you from realising your full potential. Force yourself to acquire skills, accept more responsibility and work with a different group. By spreading yourself around, you'll attract opportunities to travel and study. Rivals will be astonished by your progress, but that's because they don't understand your methods.

You'll have to let something go to move on. You take great pride in the possessions and security you've accumulated. By clinging to these things too tightly, you'll miss a golden opportunity. Remember you are not your possessions. Your social status has nothing to do with your true worth. By casting these superficial concerns aside, you'll experience real growth. It will be easier to achieve intimacy with someone who wants to know the real you. Be honest about your hopes, fears and ambitions.

Sacrifice your desires to satisfy someone else's. Your best friend, romantic or business partner has been yearning for a chance to change. By stepping aside and urging them forward, you'll strengthen your bond. Try not to dwell on your disappointment about an abandoned opportunity. Bigger and better things are ahead, as long as you stay positive. By taking the focus off yourself and putting it onto others, you'll become more aware of your surroundings.

It's important to finish your work before moving on to a new project. You might think there are just a few easy steps to dispatch, but you're wrong. The devil is in the details. Review this undertaking carefully before submitting it. You'll notice some glaring errors that have to be corrected. It will take time and effort to fix these mistakes. Go slowly and double check the results with an attentive and painstaking perfectionist. Cutting corners will be cause for regret.

A romantic relationship has reached a turning point. It's time to make a serious commitment or break things off altogether. Trust your heart. There's a good chance you're ready to make things official with a fellow adventurer. If you're already in a committed relationship, arrange a fun holiday. You'll both enjoy exploring a place that excites your imaginations. Exploring the wilderness will be fun. Alternatively, you may decide to visit a city known for its extremes.

Satisfying the needs of your family is most important. Recently, you've poured all your energy into professional pursuits. Although it's been gratifying to move up the ladder of success, this isn't enough to make you happy. You have to have a rewarding personal life to be content. Spending quality time with your nearest and dearest will be fulfilling. Be sure to attend a child's game, recital or performance. Your presence means more than you realise. Be attentive during these outings.

It's important to express yourself. Until now, you've maintained a polite silence, hoping a tense situation would blow over. The problem has persisted and you can no longer turn a blind eye to it. Confront the source of the trouble, whether it's a neighbour or relative. Be direct and brutally honest. You're dealing with someone who doesn't pick up on subtleties. Offending the perpetrator is better than letting innocent victims suffer. Everyone is sick and tired of making allowances for them.

A change in income will prompt you to seek other moneymaking opportunities. It will be more difficult than expected to land a well-paid job. Rivals for this position are dynamic and outgoing. If you're going to overshadow them, you'll have to promote your own abilities. Don't be afraid to discuss your accomplishments, even if it sounds like bragging. You're the only one who can adequately represent your own interests. Stop hiding your light under a bushel.

It's important to be assertive with a charismatic person. Giving way to this commanding individual will cause unhappiness. Stop pretending their plans fill you with delight. You're a born adventurer who isn't content carrying out dull routines. Taking on challenges brings out the best in you. Continue to take risks and go against the grain. Your bold behaviour will distress your friend, but that's to be expected. Eventually, they'll realise you have more successes than failures.

Withdraw from society and enjoy some solitude. It's important to reconnect with your spiritual side after such a busy social schedule. Take this opportunity to catch up on your reading, listen to soothing music and commune with nature. It doesn't matter what you do to recharge your batteries; trust your instincts. If a certain group of people has been getting on your nerves, it may be time to break off this alliance. Time is too precious to waste on those with whom you have no sympathy.

It's a great time to network and perform civic duties. Getting involved with a fundraiser is a great use of your humanitarian instincts. You'll meet some influential people while working to make the world a better place. These new friends can help you find love, luck and creative opportunities. Right now, whom you know is more important than what you know. Put your social contacts to work. They won't disappoint you. Fortunately, you're a popular person who has no trouble attracting admirers.

You have an opportunity to land a high powered position. Don't shy away from additional responsibility. These duties will be labours of love. Getting paid to perform work you enjoy is much different than having a job you dislike. A career involving travel, study or publishing will suit you well. Alternatively, you may decide to become a teacher, showing others innovative ways of perceiving art, culture and music. Students will be highly responsive to your enthusiasm. Lessons are never boring when you're at the helm of the classroom.
