It may be Monday but get out and do something that stimulates your mind, body and spirit. The tension between your private and public lives has never felt greater. It seems like no matter what you do, you can't satisfy anyone and that includes you. Take a keep breath and relax. Folks will be less tempted to push you around when they see you are unaffected by their provocations.

The call of the wide, blue yonder is getting to you so ease your restlessness by travel. You may be overestimating your expertise in a particular area; it pays to keep your mouth shut and ears open. Learning the latest technologies will keep you a step ahead of the competition. It may be a good idea to play dumb in front of potential rivals. You can never be too crafty right now.

Give thought to money, love and sex all three need common sense to work them out. You're willing to go above and beyond the call of duty, but not everyone appreciates your efforts. Consider how your selfless behaviour is casting a bad light on your peers. You'd be better off blending in with the crowd, at least for today. Maybe you should go out with your pals after hours.

You'll get more out of yourself and life by spending the day with someone you like. The careful balance of give-and-take has all but vanished from an intimate relationship. You have no one to blame but yourself. The next time someone makes unreasonable demands, put your foot down. While you're at it, feel free to make a few requests of your own. Two can play at this game!

Push the pedal down when it comes to accelerating the search for a job or medical cure. Surrounding yourself with incompetents is a poor way to feed your self-esteem. Instead, seek out folks who force you to redouble your efforts. There's nothing like a little competition to force personal improvement. Besides, aren't you getting a little tired of correcting other peoples' mistakes?

You brim with creative magic so go ahead and cast a spell on the world with your brand of brilliance for big success. Usually, you crave a safe, settled existence, but that could all change today. Break from the routine whenever you can. Dabble in a new artistic medium; take a different route to work; try something foreign you've never sampled before. An inspired idea could come as a result of your adventures.

Giving where you live a ceiling to floor makeover will create an ambience to bring out the best in you. Someone may try to bowl you over with their influential contacts, but you're not impressed. Whilst it's true you prefer the company of the rich and beautiful, you also want your friendships to be based on mutual affection. Hanging around a bunch of snobs is hardly fun. Call up a pal who has a fine sense of the absurd.

Use your gifted mind and silver tongue to put over a welter of wonderful ideas to wow the world. You've made admirable progress on your own, but it's time you put yourself in the hands of an expert. Sign up for a class, and make sure the teacher knows their stuff. Personal chemistry means everything in a learning environment. This rough diamond could use a little polishing!

Money fills the stars and could fill your pocket if you concentrate on making it today. When in doubt, put your own needs before anybody else's, especially when it comes to cash. If you've just started to build a nest egg, you've got to keep it intact. If you don't have any savings, start a fund today, even if you're in debt. You need to have something to show for all your hard graft.

The Moon's in Capricorn and a trio of lucky, happy aspects puts you in the driving seat of good fortune. You may be giving someone you love too much power over your life. It doesn't matter if this person has your best interests at heart. The fact remains that it's healthier to make your own decisions. You don't want to get into the habit to deferring to others. Perhaps your subconscious is setting up your beloved as a scapegoat.

Somebody adores you - you may wonder who all I can say is you'll find out soon enough. It's ultimately defeating to live in a cocoon all the time. A social minded person like you needs to know that your efforts are serving humankind. If your current position offers no relief, get involved with a volunteer project. This will fill that yawning void. It could even lead to a new job.

You can collect friends like others collect stamps if you make yourself available for fun. You want to live for the moment, not for tomorrow, but this attitude gets you into trouble. Do yourself a favour and get on a budget. Set aside a certain amount each month for a small shopping spree or a jaunt out-of-town. You'll get more pleasure out of purchases this way. Moderation offsets a guilt trip.
