Pay careful attention to your dreams, as they could be the source of a profitable venture. If you're conflicted about an ethical issue, examine your night visions for clues about what to do. Opportunities to express your creative side are few and far between. Work seems like drudgery now. Set small goals today, or you could be overwhelmed. Don't feel guilty if you can't afford an expensive gift for a lover or child. This person will value your time and attention much more.

It may feel like your past is hindering you from succeeding. Maybe you didn't get the right education you need to enter a desired industry. Perhaps your parents didn't encourage you to pursue a dream. It's even possible a physical problem is preventing you from achieving a particular goal. Whatever the reason, you need to set your sights on another aim. Fortunately, friends are eager to help. A well connected man could arrange an interview or audition for you.

Try not to get caught up in minor details, or a big project will be delayed. If you're worried you're not doing this job properly, ask for clarification. The person who is overseeing your work may be annoyed, but it is his job to help you. Don't let his exasperated attitude undermine your confidence. Trust your intuition with regard to a politician. This person may be able to advance your interests. Ask for his help in fixing a neighbourhood problem.

You're ready to embark on a new adventure, and a fun loving friend wants to go, too. The two of you make a great team. Money could be a problem, so you should probably look for the most economical arrangements possible. This could work to your advantage, as it will give you an opportunity to mix with locals, instead of fellow tourists. Don't let your pride get in the way of travelling rough. The comforts of home will be that much sweeter when you return.

You could be put on the defensive when somebody challenges your authority. At times like these, it's best to let your accomplishments speak for themselves. Getting into a loud, angry argument will only undermine your power. Ultimately, your self reliance and discipline will get you through this difficult patch. Continue to be cautious and methodical in your work, even when people are pressuring you to hurry up. The only way someone can rob your dignity is if you allow it.

Understanding the motivations of a business or romantic partner makes your bond even stronger. If this person's behaviour seems a bit mysterious, put yourself in their shoes. All of a sudden, you'll perceive their hidden fears and desires. An imagined slight could make you feel stupid. Try not to take an older person's remarks seriously. This is just this man's poor attempt at a joke. Besides, it is patently obvious you know more than this guy does.

You want to run the whole show, but it's not possible now. You'll have to defer to people whose position or influence is greater than yours. Whilst it's true you have more talent than these rivals, it's also important to honour the pecking order. You may not realise it, but these people have made lots of sacrifices to occupy their present positions. Focus on serving your superiors as best you can. You are valued for your speed and precision.

A desire to succeed could cause you to forget the needs of a business or romantic partner. Take some time to enquire after this friend's well being. You may be shocked to discover he or she is struggling with a serious problem. Set aside your work and focus on your personal life. Encouraging this person to fulfil a cherished dream will strengthen your bond. Sometimes people need to be told to forget practical considerations and follow their heart. This is one of those times.

Your willpower is tremendous, especially as far as your home life is concerned. If you've always longed to own your own home, but have had a hard time affording a place, you could find a way to realise this dream. Whether this involves taking a second job, doing some creative financing, or pooling your resources with a colleague doesn't matter. The important thing is you can become a homeowner if you put your mind to it.

Use your power wisely, or a potential admirer could find you distasteful. It's better to play it cool if someone tries to take advantage of you. Nothing is more attractive than a person who radiates confidence. Getting loud and defensive will make you look like an insecure school child. You've got a gift with words that should be channelled into a poem, short story, or love letter. This is also a good day to launch a website or catch up on emails.

You'll have to cooperate if you're going to make headway in a relationship. Compromise feels painful now, but it will end up benefiting you in the future. Just because your family raised you to perform tasks a certain way doesn't mean a business or romantic partner has to follow suit. Keep working towards a financial goal that has been elusive. Part of the secret to your success is your ability to read people's body language.

You're not intimidated by obstacles; you just swat them away as if they were annoying flies. The more you talk, the easier it is to get your way. Your persuasive voice works wonders today. It's possible you'll be given a really odious work assignment. Instead of complaining, rise to the occasion. Your willingness to do whatever is necessary to get the job done will attract bigger and better opportunities. It's time to show everybody your true mettle.
