Assuming a leadership position means extra responsibility. This may come as a surprise, since your superiors always seem to have lots of time on their hands. Your situation will be quite different. You'll be in charge of looking after people who resent supervision. Someone set in their ways could fight you tooth and nail. Making a strategic retreat could be best. When this person realises they're the only one out of step, they'll adjust their stride.

You're ready to make a serious commitment with regard to a relationship. Contrary to what cynics might say, your world is getting larger, not smaller. Getting married, having a child, or renouncing a bad habit will put you on an exciting new path. There will be challenges along the way, but you've never shied away from obstacles. Don't listen to friends who want you to continue on the same path. They're just scared you'll leave them behind.

A business or romantic partner is eager to take a weight from your shoulders. Take this opportunity to become a stay at home parent. If you don't have children, it may be necessary to attend to an elderly relative. Don't worry about how this decision will affect your career prospects. Your job is in a precarious position, anyway, as your employer can't seem to decide where to take the company. Turning your back on this madness will restore your health and good spirits.

It may be time to have a serious conversation about a partnership. For the past few years, you've assumed the lion's share of work. That balance is about to change, and the two of you need to prepare accordingly. You'll have to relinquish some of your micromanaging ways, while your associate must scale back their leisure time. If you've always wanted to write a book, learn to knit, or go to college, now is the time to do so.

Plenty of job offers are coming your way, and you'll have your pick of the litter. The money won't be spectacular, but don't let that deter you from taking on new assignments. You'll gain valuable experience along the way. Pretty soon, you'll be able to abandon a boring position in favour for something you really want to do. It's probably better to work for a flat fee than an hourly rate, as projects will take less time than you think.

Your love life is looking up. Someone admires the dignified way you conduct yourself, especially when confronted with crass situations. In the event you're already in a relationship, this would be a good time to take an art class together. The two of you could benefit from some intellectual stimulation, and could find it sketching, sculpting, or painting together. An angry outburst could be a blessing in disguise. Fortunately, this problem is easily remedied.

Spending time with family can be really rewarding, and take the sting out of a difficult work environment. It feels like all of your colleagues are on edge now. Even a sincere compliment can be taken the wrong way. Fortunately, the weekend is here, affording you lots of opportunities to eat, drink, and be merry with relatives. Resist the urge to isolate yourself from the crowd. Your depression will vanish into thin air once you're with people who understand you.

Studying, lecturing, and teaching are all favoured. You've got a keen mind and enjoy sharing your thoughts with others. This enthusiasm is infectious and makes you a popular figure. Older people are especially receptive to what you have to say. It's nice to get their approval, since they're so much more discerning than younger people. Speaking of young people, a child could be quite irritable. Unless you squash a loud tantrum, this could become a nasty habit.

Your financial picture is looking up. This is a great time to ask for a raise or look for a higher paying job. Beware of making lots of extravagant purchases or your home life could be adversely affected. A sudden change of lifestyle could make neighbours uncomfortable and drive friends away. Handle professional matters with utmost care. A flippant attitude could annoy your boss. Dress more conservatively than usual, as you may have to handle an important client.

You could assume leadership of a religious, cultural, or educational institution. People enjoy the way you execute optimistic plans in a practical fashion. Disturbing news regarding a piece of machinery could break your stride if you're not careful. Try not to let this problem spoil your day. A respected expert could solve the issue, but you'll have to pay dearly for their services. Don't quibble about their fees, it's better to have a thing done right the first time.

Spending time alone gives you a great deal of pleasure. It's not that you're antisocial; it's just you don't want to ask for anyone's approval. Making a serious commitment to a romantic partner could be in the cards. Although you don't want to relinquish your independence, you also have no intention of letting this person slip through your fingers. In the event you already have an amour, it may be time to devote a little more time to their physical pleasure.

Impatience could undermine a close relationship. If you're going to cast your lot with a particular person, you need to adjust your pace accordingly. Although you may not realise it now, your partner's cautious approach will work to your advantage. You'll discover some errors you would otherwise miss, saving you lots of embarrassment. Going out as a couple with a group of friends will make you realise just how lucky you really are. A little perspective can be invaluable now.
