Life is starting to pick up now and a reward for a good deed should come as a pleasant surprise. You have been persistent in your aims and this time it has paid off. Use your business acumen to hammer out a favourable contract or agreement for you. People in positions of power are suitable impressed by your knowledge and enterprise. By now you should be realising that you are in control of your life and your destiny.

You have the power to realise your dreams as long as you don't keep demeaning yourself. There's no reason why you should be embarrassed by your deepest needs and desires, whatever they may be. To be ashamed of your lofty aims and inspired aspirations tarnishes your spirit and soul. You have some quite brilliant ideas so believe in yourself and have faith in your ability to carry these through.

A brilliant and somewhat unconventional idea helps you make a decision that you have been putting off. Too many views and opinions have clouded the issue and all you need is time to yourself, to think things through. If dealing with a legal or financial agency, you can't relax with your mind on such complicated issues. Don't feel tied to an organization that doesn't seem right for you. After all, business is business!

Why deny your heart just to please other people? If you're seeing someone who's different from your usual choice of partner, refuse to listen to the comments other folk are throwing your way. Who are they to tell you who you should like and dislike? You need to follow your impulses and desires. You need to give yourself the chance to decide for yourself what you are going to do.

Your health gets a boost and you will undoubtedly become aware of an added source of energy and drive. This is all down to your willingness to start eating more sensibly and to add a few exercise sessions into your busy schedule. Working out regularly could have wonderful results both physically and on your mental health too. A healthy body keeps you in a positive frame of mind.

A creative or resourceful idea could have great potential, provided you are willing to put your money where your mouth is. What's the point of getting all excited about new plans and ventures if you chicken out at the last moment? Take a realistic look at the future. Is it not worth taking the odd risk or two in order to find more excitement and happiness? You can't get anywhere, if you don't try.

You're feeling adventurous today and in the mood to do something impulsive, wild or crazy. Persuading a housemate or member of your family to join you means you will not have them to answer to, at the end of the day! If single, a quirky stranger has a way of making your heart race. Why is it that you need someone or something so different? Think this through, for insight.

Asking for help where and when it is needed should not bother your conscience at all. Especially if someone owes you a favour. Other folk will be delighted to help out but be certain that they pay attention to what it is you ask of them. It's entirely possible that someone has their own rather idiosyncratic ways of doing things that will not measure up to your high expectations.

You might wonder whether a recent impulsive decision was really such a good idea. It's certainly a one you will not repeat in a hurry. Very soon, your economic prospects should start to improve, thanks to your willingness, lately, to take a risk. But there's no point in pretending that you knew all along that everything would turn out so well. People aren't so easily fooled. Nonetheless, they are impressed!

You can see where improvements are necessary in your career. Your ideas might stir up some conflict between those who wish to leave things as they are, and others who are more forward-looking and supportive of your suggestions. And whereas you are normally a one to stick to conventional ways of doing things, if you know that change will bring progress, you must continue to promote ideas for advancement.

It's a good day to work quietly in the background, promoting your personal goals. Before doing anything drastic, however, it might be a good idea to consider all options that are open for you. And, think over practical strategies. Despite a few possible changes in your plans, being able to focus on your private interests could be very rewarding. There's also a strong urge to investigate different ways of life and living.

You will soon get into the swing of new methods and routines even if they do at first seem strange to you. In fact, the way you approach your work and current responsibilities spells the difference between success and failure. You might want to adopt specific practices as a way to keep yourself and others interested in joint obligations. Mixing with new people is also important for personal growth.
