Your association with an idealistic group of people improves your communication skills. You've learned the public responds much more favourably to messages of hope than predictions of doom. Yes, fear is a great motivator, but it doesn't lead to anything of lasting value. Have faith that everybody will put their personal agendas aside for the sake of something greater. Your work could inspire similar projects in nearby communities. Be ready to share your secrets with like minded leaders.

You have a knack for giving people just what they need to thrive. You'd make a wonderful counsellor, minister, or psychologist. If you're looking for a job, explore opportunities which involve human relations. You're able to broker good deals and promote harmonious work environments. Don't be afraid to ask for more money if you want it. You have valuable talents, and should be compensated accordingly. You should also negotiate for a private office space to promote an atmosphere of confidentiality.

You're drawn to philosophical questions today, possibly because you're dissatisfied with the material world. There's got to be more to life than money. Asking people what makes life meaningful can lead to some illuminating conversations. Somebody who looks utterly superficial could display hidden depths. Keep this friend in mind the next time you're tempted to jump to conclusions. There's more to people than meets the eye, if you'd only care to look. Accept an impromptu invitation. You'll meet some interesting people.

You feel as though you have a psychic connection with a loved one. It's as if you can anticipate each other's needs without exchanging a word. A sexual encounter feels more like a merging of souls than a mingling of bodies. If you don't have a lover, you could meet one at an out of the way bookshop or newsstand. Keep your eyes open for a bright eyed intellectual who is eager to discuss some reading material. You two get along like strawberries and cream.

The secret to a successful partnership is shared hopes, dreams, and values. To outsiders, it looks as though one person is following the other's lead. The truth is much more complicated. You assume control when dealing with matters of the heart, while your partner handles more practical situations. It's a smart arrangement that fortifies your bond. In the event you are single, you could meet the person of your dreams at a humanitarian organisation, technical class, or science fiction club.

A creative project brings out the best in you. You feel as though you've found a channel for your talents. This is a marvellous time to take a younger colleague under your wing. Alternatively, a seasoned expert could offer to mentor you. Either way, it will be a wonderful learning experience. You may have to take the lead with a shy love interest. This person simply doesn't have the confidence to express their adoration for you.

There's never been a better day to indulge your love of pleasure. Buy yourself a gorgeous piece of jewellery, treat yourself to a gourmet meal, or put yourself in the hands of a skilled masseuse. There will be plenty of time for drudgery later. Yes, its mid-week, but sometimes the stars demand you abandon the regular routine for the sake of fun. This would also be a good time to embark on a special outing with a child.

You could fulfil your dream of living by the water, thanks to an investment, insurance settlement, or tax refund. If you don't have the economic means to live where you want, formulate a plan for meeting this goal. Putting aside a set amount into savings each week will add up quicker than you think. It's all about setting your intention into motion. Stop telling yourself you're engaging in silly pipe dreams. If you can conceive it, you can achieve it.

If you're having a hard time realising a goal, you need to stop and visualise it. Write a description of your dream life. Be as detailed as possible. The more specific your wishes are, the easier it will be to fulfil them. After you've finished, fold the list into thirds and put it under your mattress. Spend a few minutes each evening envisioning what you've written. Doing this for thirty nights in a row will prompt you to take action.

Donating your time, money, and resources to a worthy cause lifts your spirits. Some people will think you're being naive, claiming you can't change the world through philanthropy but nothing could be further from the truth. Think on how generous people have inspired you to do kind things. Your gesture could have the same impact. Each day, you have a choice to move towards the light or turn your back on it. Which path will you take today? Think before answering.

Your creative talents act like a magnet to romance. If you're single, you'll have your pick of admirers. Cast your lot with a lover who stimulates your intellect, as well as your hormones. In the event you already have a mate, this would be a good time to court them all over again. Flowers, candy, wine, music pull out all the stops. Passion is a sacred flame which needs constant kindling. Throw another log on the fire and watch the sparks fly.

Your instincts are right on target, especially where a male relative is concerned. Offering him moral support could be an opportunity to heal your own wounds. There was a time when somebody discouraged you from taking a risk. Now the shoe is on the other foot, you can offer encouragement instead of despair. You'll be amazed at how much better you both feel after this pep talk. You may even be inspired to resuscitate a dream that has been a long time dead.
