Do what you love, and the money will follow. You've always enjoyed delving into unknown territory. Starting a business, inventing a product or creating a new service are all good ideas. The secret to your success is offering something unprecedented. Uniqueness is your hallmark. Play it up. Conservative onlookers will think your venture is destined to fail. Proving them wrong will be icing on the cake. Of course, you'll want to hire some diligent people to manage the staff and keep the books.

This is the best time of the year to launch a self improvement programme. If you've always wanted to develop your artistic talent, devote a set time each day to a creative pursuit. Working with your hands is particularly satisfying. Baking, gardening, pottery, any or all of these activities are favoured. When you have something to keep you busy, creative and positive you become a more giving partner, better friend, and happier person.

You have tremendous potential, but won't be able to realise it fully. Right now, you've got to pay your dues. Working behind the scenes will enable you to get valuable experience. Granted, you won't receive much credit for what you do, but that's not the point. There will be plenty of time to bask in the spotlight later. Look upon the coming weeks as your opportunity to be able to make mistakes without getting raked over the coals. Pretty soon, you won't have this freedom.

Reforming a big institution gives you lots of satisfaction. Fortunately, there is a lot of popular support for your cause. It also helps with your powers of persuasion being at an all time high. Now is the time to convince powerful people to back this issue with money, time and publicity. Don't worry if a stuffy authority figure tries to make you look ridiculous. Their attempts will only backfire. Your goofy sense of humour never fails to deflect their petty criticisms.

People will be looking to you for guidance, so be on your best behaviour. Children are especially affected by any kind of irresponsible behaviour. Take this opportunity to give them the kind of love, advice and discipline you always wanted. There's a good chance you will be up for a promotion or high powered job. Be sure to emphasise your superior work ethic and diligence in any meetings or interviews. You may have an aura of glamour, but there's a lot of substance beneath your style.

You'll have to take risks to get what you want. In the past, you've resisted plunging into the unknown, preferring to do lots of research before committing to a course of action. Don't make this mistake in the weeks ahead. If you're offered what sounds like a golden opportunity, take it on the spot. You can always work out the kinks later. What's crucial is that you adopt a more adventurous approach to life. Planning each and every detail sucks the joy out of the experience.

It feels like your fate is intertwined with someone else's. You live in the realm of the intellect, while they are firmly rooted in the material. Together, you'll learn valuable lessons from one another. Be ready to trust your friend when it comes to sex, joint finances and death arrangements. You have a tendency to avoid scary subjects, preferring to focus on sweetness and light but has this refusal to stare into the abyss stopped you dealing with some pretty serious issues?

A loved one has a strong influence on your decisions in the weeks ahead. You're starting to realise you need to adopt a more practical approach to certain aspects of life. Trusting your intuition has worked well over your friendships and romantic relationships. When it comes to money you need to think more realistically. Listen to your friend's advice when it comes to creating a budget. You need to factor in a retirement fund, too.

Don't be surprised when you're given the lion's share of the grunt work in the weeks ahead. It looks like several people will be out of the office, forcing you to pick up the slack. If it's any consolation, doing a good job could put you in line for a promotion. Just be sure you are given credit for all of your contributions. It may be necessary to tell your boss just how much stuff you've been doing your hard work will be lost in the shuffle.

Devote the lion's share of your time to creative pursuits. A workhorse like you sometimes has difficulty having fun because you feel guilty about neglecting your responsibilities. But what about your duty to yourself? You've been blessed with a wonderful imagination. Keeping it locked away is the ultimate betrayal. Go ahead and cut back your hours. Delegate responsibilities to colleagues and relatives. You've earned a judicious amount of playtime. Let youngsters get in on the act, if they want. You'll have fun painting and crafting together.

Your emotions come spilling over the surface, and nobody's more astonished than you. Normally, you keep a pretty tight lid on your feelings. During the next few weeks you'll be forced to reckon with some profound heartache. This is especially true about childhood memories. It's possible an authority figure didn't give you the freedom you needed to develop your natural talent. The good news now is: you are an adult, there is no one to stop you.

You need to communicate your feelings. Lately, you've kept your feelings bottled up inside, for fear you would jeopardise your earning potential. Fortunately, people are now receptive to your ideas. Speak up when you think a project should be taken in a different direction. If a colleague is picking on you, stand up for yourself. In the event an unfair policy is imposed, challenge it. An impassioned plea from you could result in greater kindness, compassion and generosity. Speak now, or forever hold your peace!
