Anyone who thinks they can influence you is in for a big shock. You've always been highly independent. Just because a large group of people embrace a certain lifestyle or watches a popular television programme, this will not sway you to do the same. Assuming control of a joint fund will make you feel much more confident. It's hard to have faith in someone who is hesitant about everything they do. You have the courage of your convictions, which generates big profits.

A loved one will criticise you for being a spendthrift. Ignore their sniping comments; they are simply jealous. You know how to enjoy life to the fullest. Indulging in good food, beautifully made merchandise and relaxing environments comes naturally to you. Form a team with a business partner who can focus like a laser on their objectives. They'll tell you what needs to be done each day. While you attend to practical matters, your other half will find customers, develop products and generate business.

Multi-tasking is not a problem for you. Doing several jobs at once is more interesting than getting totally immersed in one task. An annoying relative will closely monitor you, doubting your ability to do all this work efficiently. You will have the last laugh. If you're suffering from health problems, it's time to reduce your workload. Rather than spending every spare moment at the office, leave work on time. Have relaxing meals with your nearest and dearest. Go to the movies, play games and read books.

People tease you about being sentimental, but you don't care. When you're at home, surrounded by comfortable furnishings and cherished keepsakes, nothing can bother you. Take this opportunity to sort through some favourite mementoes. You'll discover some forgotten heirlooms that fill you with happiness. It will be easy to fall head over heels in love with a charismatic newcomer. You're captivated by their passion for life, while they adore your quirky sense of humour. This is a match made in heaven.

You'd much rather be extravagant than sensible. Throwing a big party will be lots of fun. Putting together a lavish menu, arranging eye catching decorations and assembling a huge guest list appeals to your love of pomp and circumstance. Roll out the red carpet. Loyalty towards family keeps you from discussing problems with a relative. You're embarrassed by a loved one's addiction. Talking to a health professional will make you feel much better about the situation. Their insights will help you cope with an ongoing problem.

Putting the finishing touches on an important job is rewarding. You enjoy ensuring that everything is just perfect. The person who receives the finished project will be impressed. Even the most demanding client will recognise you've gone beyond the call of duty. You have fixed ideas about education. If a youngster isn't doing well with an academic programme, adopt a more experimental attitude. Everyone has different learning styles. Find the one that works the best for the student in question.

A sense of fair play informs everything you do. You work hard to ensure every member of the group has a chance to call the shots. Now it's your turn to assume leadership of the group. Indulge your love of art, culture and music. You don't like anyone prying into your financial affairs. Rather than discussing how much you get paid and what you spend, you maintain a mysterious silence about money. This works to your advantage when it is time to negotiate prices, contracts and salaries.

You're reserved, secretive and determined. It's virtually impossible for anyone to detect your true motives. You don't give anything away, even to your closest friends. Right now, you are fully focused on expanding your financial fortune. Working for a commission will generate a fortune. Your powers of persuasion prompt people to buy expensive things they had no intention of purchasing. When they take these items home, these customers realise you know them better than they know themselves. It's a superpower.

A happy go lucky attitude to life makes you extremely popular. People feel hopeful when you're on the scene. This is because you insist everything must work to your advantage. Even terrible setbacks are greeted philosophically. You proclaim that every cloud has a silver lining. It helps that you are deeply spiritual. Something at your core lets you know that the Universe is a benevolent place. By trusting in its bounty, you attract all the love, money and good fortune anybody could ever want.

Instead of looking to others for guidance, you trust yourself. As a result, you rarely regret your choices. When something goes wrong, you have the good sense to deal promptly with whatever mistakes you can. As far as you're concerned, experience is the best teacher. A powerful friend will offer to help you. Although you're nervous about being indebted to this individual, you shouldn't be. Your loved one simply wants to return one of the many favours you've done for them.

Leading a conventional life holds no charm for you. It's much more fun to go against the grain. While conventional types find you utterly eccentric, most people are charmed by your willingness to march to the beat of your own drum. Has a new position recently become available? You should apply for it. Your intensity and determination make you an excellent candidate for this job. Emphasise your ability to solve major problems during the interview process; it's one of your strongest assets.

Instead of drawing attention to yourself, you keep a low profile. This allows you to build castles in the air while everyone else is toiling away. As far as you're concerned, work is overrated. You'd rather abandon yourself to a world of pure imagination. Leading a meaningful life is important to you. While others dedicate themselves to earning lots of money, cultivating fame or being popular, you strive to feel connected to your higher power. The more time you devote to spiritual pursuits, the happier you will be.
