Working with a partner could pay off handsomely. You've got all of the drive and enthusiasm, while your associate has all the wit and charm. Together, you could make a lot of money. Put off a burdensome responsibility for next week. You can't afford to break your stride right now. If it's possible, ask a loved one or neighbour to attend this duty for you. Offer a nice reward, like a sumptuous lunch at their favourite restaurant. One good turn deserves another.

This is a great day to launch a fitness programme. You have a tendency to gain weight around the middle. Pilates and yoga can keep you trim and slim. It's probably best to cut down on carbohydrates, too, as they make you sleepy and sluggish. Lean protein, fresh vegetables, and legumes are the way to go. A cranky child could wear on your nerves. Refuse to get into a contest of wills with your young friend. Assume an authoritative tone and don't back down.

Your competitive spirit is at an all time high. You could find great success with sports and contests of skill. Nobody can match your drive to win. If you have a romantic rival, this is your chance to win the heart of your beloved. Your ardour is irresistible. Support from your family may not be forthcoming. Relatives may be upset you haven't chosen the path they wanted for you. Turn a deaf ear to their complaints. You've got to go your own way.

Making a break from home could be a healthy decision. While you love and respect your elders, some of their ideas simply don't mesh with yours. Go ahead and strike out on your own. At first, your relatives may be upset by your new lifestyle. Eventually they'll accept the fact you're a unique individual who can't be held fast by stuffy conventions. Steer clear of a pessimist who would have you believe all innovation is worthless. They are their own worst enemy.

You're quick to find solutions to stubborn problems because you're willing to try unorthodox measures, even at the risk of shocking the public. Secretly, you'll have lots of support from the younger members of your community who are sick and tired of the old ways. Money may not be readily available. Avoid making costly purchases, even if it means forgoing luxury. It's better to do without than drive yourself into debt. Never fear; the funds you seek will arrive in another month or two.

This is a good time to seek a better paying job. You've spent a lot of time and effort acquiring marketable skills. Revise your CV and apply for positions which were previously out of reach. You may be surprised at how many interviews you are granted. Concentrate on projecting a positive, can do, image. It will be much easier to get a job if you inspire confidence in others. Pattern your behaviour after somebody who always seems upbeat in the face of challenges.

Normally, you like to linger over decisions, but it's not the case today. You're downright impulsive now. This is a refreshing change of pace, especially for a friend who is always waiting for you to make up your mind. If you've been harbouring a crush on someone, make your move now. It will be hard to resist your passionate overtures. Don't fall prey to nagging self doubt. Replace defeating thoughts with affirmations. This takes practice, but it's effective in boosting your confidence.

Working on behalf of those who are less fortunate is fulfilling. Lately, you've been tired of being pushed around by the powers that be. Using your influence to help vulnerable people or innocent animals will ease your righteous anger. A conventional friend may disapprove of your work, feeling it will upset the status quo. Don't pay any attention to their warnings. Some people are meant to go with the flow, while others are supposed to challenge authority.

Friends are encouraging you to make a change, and who are you to argue? Take their advice and make a bold move in a new direction. You won't be sorry. You're the type of person who would rather try and fail than take the safe route. Staying with a steady but boring job is a mistake. Pursuing a more fulfilling career path will be difficult, but it's better than being stuck. Summon up your courage and take the plunge!

Be ready to assert your authority with a group of wayward people. At first, they'll grumble at your bossy attitude, but they'll eventually appreciate your guidance. It's all a matter of being consistent. You may have to make an example of the lazy member of your group. Although you don't like to be so unyielding, it's important to show there will be consequences for bad behaviour. Try not to impose your moral beliefs on others. You can tell people what to do, but not what to think.

You're feeling pretty restless these days, possibly because you're not getting enough exercise. This would be a good time to take up a sport or start jogging. Martial arts classes can provide a welcome release, too. A heavy debt could be weighing on your shoulders. When forced to choose between repaying people and organisations, choose the former every time. Your friends need money more than the credit agencies. A physical relationship could be losing its lustre.

Your sex drive is stronger than ever. If you're in a relationship, wine and dine your amour. The results will be spectacular. If you are single, this would be a good time to meet someone special. Wear your most flattering outfit and attend a sporting event. You could lock eyes with a mysterious rebel who makes your pulse pound. Entering into a legal agreement isn't favoured. Wait another week or two before signing papers or forming a business alliance.
