You relate strongly to someone who has a balanced view of the world -- it's a relief to have a sane, sensible ally for a change! There's a good possibility that you could form a business or financial partnership of some kind. Let your other half take care of what they excel at, whilst you play to your strengths. Team work really pays off.

Your organisational capacity and patience has an excellent chance of paying off; you deserve a nice reward. Take off a little earlier so you can spend some quality time with the ones you love. A cosy home cooked dinner replenishes your comfort level. Even responsible folks like you need to take breaks. Strive for balance in all things.

Love or maybe lust is in the air, but you may be a wee bit gun-shy of relationships just now. Whilst it's true you've been let down in the past, that shouldn't prevent you from taking risks today. If you already have a guy or gal, it's time to try something new together. Take a trip this weekend to a place neither of you have visited before.

Letting your creative talents fester for the sake of family duties and responsibilities is a mistake. You need to take time out for your own favourite forms of expression and relaxation, even if it means letting routine duties fall by the wayside. Others may call your behaviour selfish, but that's only because they envy your resolve.

Brush up on current affairs or topical issues as preparation for a big social event; it's always good to have ready cocktail chatter. Your grasp of the news could impress an influential person to the point of getting a great job offer. Making a career move could be just the thing to put the sparkle back into your eyes. Why not fish around for openings?

You've never been afraid of hard work, especially if it means increasing your social status or career personal prospects. What you don't realise is that amongst your greatest assets is your mental potential. Use your way with words to make a name for yourself. Get down to writing from software to a novel, then see how you can make money as a result of your genius.

Someone who has captured your heart is so accomplished that you feel somewhat lost in their shadow. It's time you realised that you've plenty to be proud of, too. If you're having a hard time recognising your own talents, take a class on a subject that's always interested you. Study or the development of your potential will soon restore your self confidence.

Getting mixed up in other people's intrigues is a serious mistake; turn your attention elsewhere rather than get dragged in. Gossip is fun for a while, but it distracts you from doing work on yourself. Be honest about your own shortcomings. For instance, when was the last time you lent your efforts to a group or society who needs it?

A friend or relative is poised to do you a gigantic favour, which makes you a little bewildered. If you think back, you'll realise that this generosity is simply repayment for a series of good deeds you performed in the past. Take this opportunity to go on an extended vacation. You deserve a nice long break even if it's only to get your head together.

Ironically, the fastest way up the ladder of success is to put your own desires aside. Extend a helping hand to someone who is struggling. Your reputation as a kind and thoughtful person could win you a promotion. Make sure that everyone is aware of the services you perform: okay it's calculating but nothing is for nothing in this world.

Resist the urge to pattern your behaviour after a popular member of your social circle. Okay so imitation is a form of flattery, but folks can sense when you're being sincere. You'll gain more favourable attention by being yourself. A shy but genteel person has their eye on you at this very moment, but you may have to make the first move.

Forging an intimate relationship is hard work, especially if your fingers have been burned in the past. You don't have to bare your soul all at once. It's better to reveal your passions, fears, and hopes in stages. Be prepared for some surprises on your beloved's part. They've a few secrets buried deep inside, too - but remember, sometimes things are best left unsaid...
