Home life interferes with romantic pursuits, much to your dismay. It's more important to attend to the needs of relatives than go out for a wild night with your amour. Never fear; you'll be able to sneak away with your beloved later on next week. In the meantime, though, children are especially in need of your love and guidance. Elderly people have a way of getting under your skin with their demands. Remember your sense of humour.

Encouraging a loved one's independence is difficult for a protective soul like you. You want to shield this person from all life's hardships, but that just isn't possible. Stop offering your assistance at the first sign of trouble. You may even have to turn down requests for help. If your protegee is truly without practical skills, you've got to remedy the situation. Teach essentials like cooking, cleaning, and budgeting. It's time to cut the cord!

The more work experience you have, the easier it will be for you to find a dream career. It's only natural a multi-talented person like you has a hard time settling on one job. Therefore, it's a good idea to find one that involves lots of variety. You're at your best when you're constantly forced to switch gears. If you're happy with your current position, take up a hobby that employs totally different skills.

You've always had an emotional nature, and that's especially true today. Beware of letting feelings of sadness or regret get in the way of your ambitions. Dwelling on past disappointments will prevent you from taking advantage of further opportunities. You owe it to yourself to show off your abilities and develop your skills. Steer clear of critical types who seek to cut you down at every turn. Build a solid support system.

Playing the martyr will ruin your reputation, so work hard to resist this urge. Making somebody feel guilty about their behaviour won't make them change. Instead, it will cause them to cling more stubbornly to their destructive ways. If you feel others aren't grateful for all the kind things you've done, stop performing these acts of charity. Focus on making yourself happy instead. Your new attitude will earn everybody's respect.

You resent not getting enough personal attention, but that just isn't possible today. Centre yourself on being a team player, even if it means your contributions are overlooked. The more consistently cooperative you are, the higher your star will rise. Prima donnas may create lots of drama, but they're not valued or appreciated. Look for humble ways to be of service. You'll build some solid friendships as a result.

You're dealing with some intense competition right now, and need the encouragement of friends to stay focused. Too often, you underestimate your gifts, preferring to draw attention to everybody else's efforts. Learn how to take a compliment, rather than brushing it off. Get into the habit of asserting yourself, even if it means pitting yourself against imposing characters. You've worked too hard to give way to less talented people.

You have a wide scope of knowledge and it's time you put it to use. Normally, you prefer standing in the shadows, watching everybody else from a place of protection. Now you're being forced to assume the spotlight, and you're not sure if you like it. Consider the benefits of drawing attention to yourself. There's no better way to find romance. Furthermore, assuming a more public stance will help you attract better job opportunities.

People have become accustomed to your devil-may-care attitude. What they don't realise is it's a cover for a deeply passionate nature. You desperately want to be loved, but you're afraid of being vulnerable. Throw caution to the wind and let your needs be known today. If you've worshipped someone from afar, let your admiration be known today. If you're already in a relationship, express your tenderness and devotion at every opportunity.

You're extremely sultry and sensual, which attracts a lot of admirers. You're only interested in capturing one person's attention, though. Demonstrate kindness and sensitivity in regard to your beloved's insecurities. They may not be brave enough to make a move towards somebody as glorious as you. Stop playing games and make the initial overture. Why waste time when you can be blissfully entwined in each others' arms?

Waiting hand and foot on a partner is starting to wear on your patience. Stop jumping every time this person snaps their fingers, and start making some demands of your own. You're extremely intelligent and creative, and need plenty of free time to develop your talents. Get into the habit of setting an hour aside each day for exercise or hobbies. If your associate complains, tell them your days of slavery are over.

Resting on your laurels is a grievous waste of time; you owe it to yourself to develop your creative talent. Taking a class in dance, photography, or writing can open new worlds for you. It's especially important to practice your skills on a regular basis, or you'll continue to take them for granted. If you feel your energy starting to flag, it's because you're not spending enough time on your favourite activities. Examine your priorities.
