It will take hard work to get to the bottom of a mystery. Keep asking questions, take names and double check stories. You'll soon realise someone's versions of the facts aren't adding up. At that point, you will be able to resolve an ongoing problem that has been wasting time and money. Someone might be dismissed from their job. Don't be surprised if you're asked to assume their position. This could be a great way for you to increase your income.

You're able to use your powers of persuasion for beneficial purposes. Take this opportunity to promote your agenda, close a sale or seal a business deal. Someone who is on the fence is secretly yearning for a push. After you've reached your objective, reassure your audience they have made the right decision. Taking a risk isn't easy, but you've done a lot of research and feel certain your path is the best one to take. By making a detailed case, you'll emerge victorious.

Getting more exercise will make you more creative. Never underestimate the importance of your mind body connection. When one area feels stagnant, develop the other. You'll be impressed with the results. Keep a notebook handy to jot down any brilliant ideas for a screenplay, design or song. Things will move quickly after you take a walk, play a sport or enjoy a bike ride. Even gentle stretching can blow away any intellectual cobwebs that have accumulated.

Don't be worrying about an upcoming competition. You're a much stronger candidate. Have faith in your abilities. If you're trying to win someone's affection, be honest about your strengths and abilities. People will respect your sincerity and be impressed by your tender heart and romantic impulses. Are you already in a relationship? Seize this opportunity to sweep your partner off their feet. It doesn't matter how long you've been together; you should always be working to secure each other's affection.

Working around the house will be rewarding. It's time to fix a small electrical or plumbing problem that has caused minor inconveniences. Once this issue is resolved, you'll be able to focus on more pressing issues. If you have a relative who needs additional care, now is the time to make some phone calls. After following a promising referral, you'll find a professional or organisation who can improve the quality of life for your loved one. Patience and persistence pays off.

Getting straight to the point saves time, money and aggravation. Don't get pulled into a conversation involving meaningless chitchat. You have people to see and deadlines to meet. Some people may be taken aback by your abrupt approach. Explain you are pressed for time and apologise for seeming brusque. When everyone realises you're trying to fix things quickly and efficiently, they'll come to your aid. There will be plenty of time to rest, relax and catch up with colleagues later.

Splashing out on luxury items gives your spirits a lift. This is a great time to supplement your work wardrobe. Projecting an air of polished professionalism will help you cultivate success. People are more likely to treat you with respect when you dress the part of an accomplished expert. Have you been offered a job? Don't be afraid to negotiate a higher salary. It's important to get paid what you are worth. Your confident attitude will make a good impression on your future employer.

You know exactly what you want and are intent on getting it. Even bitter rivals jump out of the way when you approach. That's because they know better than opposing you. Whenever you're faced with a problem, a long preparation process begins. Armed with facts, figures and influential contacts, you're able to step over obstacles as if they were minor inconveniences. Take this opportunity to plan a fun holiday, ask for a date or arrange a romantic dinner.

It's best to keep work secret. The last thing you want is for a well-intentioned critic to undercut your enthusiasm. Most of your colleagues don't realise how sensitive you are. They mistake your relentless optimism for callousness. Nothing could be further from the truth. You care deeply about other people's feelings. Exceeding their expectations fills you with pride. Right now, you shouldn't be focused on impressing others. Concentrate instead on completing your mission.

Working with a big team will be invigorating. You enjoy bouncing ideas off other creative people. Be willing to revise some of your ideas. It isn't enough for a project to function properly; the components have to be attractive, too. A polished appearance will compel people to use a product or service. This may seem silly to you, but it can make all the difference between success and failure. Be open to making your brainchild more user friendly. In this situation, form is as important as function.

Reaching the top of your field will be easy if you stay focused. You don't mind putting in long hours, taking advanced classes and getting additional training, as long as it opens professional doors. You'll have to scale back your personal life while you pursue an ambitious career track. Explain to your nearest and dearest why you won't be readily available for parties, dates and casual get togethers. When they hear about your goals, they'll do everything in their power to support you.

You have the courage of your convictions. While others endlessly deliberate, you're ready to make a choice and live with the consequences. This gives you an edge over the competition. Everyone is always remarking how quickly you dispatch tasks. That's because you would rather run with an idea, monitor its implementation and make corrections as they arise. It's a much more effective way of working than endlessly weighing the options. When mistakes occur, you're ready to jump in and resolve them. That's why you're invaluable.
