A vivid dream or idea makes you yearn for a life of adventure; you can forget about getting boring tasks finished. Instead of beating yourself up for choices you made in the past, stay firmly focused on the present. What can you do to break out of your rut? It may be as simple as developing a latent artistic or creative talent.

Your realistic approach helps you to achieve goals that others only fantasise over, but that could put strain on your relationships. Someone who always chalks up your achievements to dumb luck needs to be set straight. Otherwise, you'll constantly feel cheated whilst showing off your accomplishments. Bragging is justified in your case!

Work provides you with the fulfilment you long for; there's something inspiring about helping other people. Your colleagues may take a cynical view of your co-operative attitude, but don't worry. They'll see you're sincere in time. Meanwhile, don't forget a promise you made to a child. They're counting on you keeping it.

Stop trying to rationalise a loved one's strange behaviour; the fact is, this person is taking advantage of you. Until you come to terms with this unpleasant truth, you'll never have a real relationship together. In fact, your denial may actually be preventing them from changing their destructive ways. Gear up for a confrontation.

You've got sex on the brain today, making it difficult to concentrate on work related matters. If the physical side of your love life leaves you feeling unfulfilled, you owe it to your partner to say so. Keep in mind there are many ways to do this. Blaming everyone but you is the least promising means to get what you want. Proceed with tact.

If it feels like you and your partner are talking past each other, you must make some urgent changes. The next time you ask someone special how they are, really mean it. Look into their eyes as they speak. Invite them to sit with you and proceed to list all the reasons why you love them. Sounds silly, but it will open cheerful tearful floodgates.

Why follow the rules just for the sake of propriety? If you see a better way of doing things, speak up. Better yet, say nothing and just follow your instincts. After all, you're a human being, not a robot. The more you rely on authority figures to make your decisions, the less resourceful you will become. Honour your inner executive.

Adopting an optimistic attitude will attract admirers far and wide, so don't act so glum. You've more going for you than your ego pretends. In fact, many people envy your abilities. The sooner you put your talents to good use, the better. Why not try your hand at refurbishing something that has seen better days? You're terrifically resourceful.

Thinking for yourself is essential if you are going to get a romance off the ground. Although friends and family may have good intentions, they may be a little prejudiced toward the object of your affection. Listen to your heart and don't back down. You'll soon know whether you've picked the right partner or not.

Although you've done a great job of masking your feelings, an insensitive comment will cause you to come clean. Sometimes a good, old-fashioned screaming match is a good thing. Bottling up your emotions can take a serious toll on your health. Besides, an obnoxious boss or bigwig needs to be set straight.

Confusing your bank balance with your personal values could be a problem today. If you really feel like you're not being properly compensated, put in a written request for a raise. In the meantime, look around for new opportunities. That way, you can back up your threats with action if or when challenged.

People have no problem trusting you because you say what you mean and mean what you say. And whilst your peers may think your candour is putting you in a dangerous position, you know you couldn't do business any other way. Keep listening to your heart. It's the best gauge for how you should behave in both public and private.
