You're determined to do as you please, even if it means being an outcast. Actually, most people admire your individuality, and support you because of it. Still, you will have problems with certain authority figures. Launching your own business can help you thrive. It's hard for you to take orders from somebody else, but when you're in charge, you'll work overtime to become successful. At the very least, you need a job that affords lots of independence.

Being cooped up in a house or office all day is driving you to distraction. Make an effort to take a brisk walk outdoors, either before or after work. Even going outdoors during your lunch break will make a huge difference to your outlook. You're tired of people pulling at your sleeve all the time. If you can get a little peace and quiet, if only for a little while, your good humour will be restored. Hire a babysitter if you must.

Your social circle is undergoing a big change. Certain friends are leaving for greener pastures, while several newcomers are making their way onto your list of contacts. You're especially drawn to technologically adept people. These people can show you how to get the most of your computer and smart phone. They'll also teach you how to set up an operating system that is specifically tailored to your needs. It's nice to have your own built in technical services team!

An authority figure will step down unexpectedly, leaving you to pick up the pieces. Fortunately, you have the ability to be a strong leader, so long as you don't let the job go to your head. The secret to your success is your ability to spot hidden talent in various members of your team. If you sense someone who does routine work has artistic ability, give them an assignment that draws on their creative abilities. People will be surprised by your decision, and then impressed by it.

You're eager to explore new ideas about life, love, work, and duty. As a child, your family may have passed on rigid philosophies about these subjects. Decide what you feel on your own. Mimicking someone else's philosophy feels hypocritical. A dynamic speaker will prompt you to explore a certain school of thought. Many of their concepts are good, but beware of accepting everything they assert without question. Bring a little of your own life experience to the table.

Your sex appeal is stronger than ever. Don't be surprised when someone who isn't your type begins making a play for you. Ordinarily, you wouldn't dream of getting involved with such a person. Right now you're ready for a change. If you're single, go on a few dates together. You'll be delightfully surprised by how much fun you have. Are you in a relationship? Experiment with new lovemaking techniques. Your partner will be very receptive to these overtures.

Switching roles with your best friend, business partner, or lover will be eye opening. Normally, you're the one to handle the diplomatic side of things, while your partner seeks new opportunities. By changing how you operate, you'll gain a fresh appreciation for the other's contributions. Secretly, you enjoy being the aggressor. You're tired of suppressing all of your true feelings and desires. Similarly, your friend will enjoy playing 'good cop' for a change.

Varying your routine is critical for your health. You're not the type who can thrive doing the same thing day after day. By enjoying a different form of exercise each day, you'll begin to look forward to your workouts. If you've changed your diet, check out a few cookbooks from the library. Having a lot of easy recipes on hand will make it easier to stick to your programme. You won't be tempted to snack when you have an interesting meal planned.

Putting a new spin on a traditional medium will garner lots of attention. You've never been afraid of venturing into new territory. Still, it's a little intimidating to put your name on the line. Don't worry. Everything you touch will turn to gold. You're especially adept in the performing arts. Try recording a song, auditioning for a play, or choreographing a dance. Your efforts will prove popular and successful. An old friend will confess a crush on you, much to your utter astonishment.

Just because your family lived a certain way doesn't mean you must. In fact, you will probably benefit by arranging your domestic life in a radically different manner. Don't worry what others will think if you keep strange hours or arrange rooms in unusual ways. The important thing is to create surroundings that support your needs. If this looks strange to the outside world, so be it. There are worse things than being unique. Stop trying to push a square peg into a round hole.

An unexpected message makes you excited for the future. You have a chance to take a short trip, write an article, or study with likeminded enthusiasts. Whatever opportunity arises, it is sure to give you lots of mental stimulation. Good news about a relative or neighbour causes you to breathe a sigh of relief. It looks as if you will be liberated from a serious responsibility regarding them. Give thanks by performing a random act of kindness for a stranger.

You have an opportunity to find a new source of income. If you're in contention for a well-paid position stress your unique abilities. Don't be afraid to set yourself apart from the crowd, even if it means you have no previous experience in this particular field. Sometimes a fresh perspective is what is needed. Besides, you have other abilities that will serve you well. It's all a matter of promoting your talent with energy and enthusiasm.
