You may think you're an expert in a particular sport or game, but you're about to meet someone with superior skills. At first, you'll be jealous of your rival's abilities. In time you'll become one of their biggest admirers. If you're trying to win someone's heart, you'll need to rely on more than just brawn and good looks. Being able to engage your beloved's intellect is critical. Find out what their interests and hobbies are, then do some reading on these subjects.

It's impossible to see eye to eye with your relatives. Your family has much different moral code than yours. You place great emphasis on beauty and elegance, whereas they place more emphasis on practicality and frugality. Don't worry too much if your nearest and dearest criticise your spending habits. Defending yourself will only draw you deeper into a quarrel. Taking a glamorous trip overseas will open new doors for you, both personally and professionally.

Be careful what you say and to whom you speak; spreading gossip will tarnish your reputation. Yes, people are eager to hear your juicy stories, but they don't respect you for them. In fact, the more you talk, the more people are convinced you are untrustworthy. Joining a religious or cultural institution will be a good outlet for your restless energy. You're especially impressed with a plain speaking teacher who applies lofty principles to mundane dilemmas.

Irresponsible spending puts pressure on an intimate relationship. Your partner is worried about the future, when all you seem to care about is the present. Usually, you're very conservative with money. Lately you've become tired of suppressing your desire for luxury. Its fine to enjoy an occasional splurge, but not at the expense of family security. Talk with your beloved about ways you can build up your savings again. The bigger your nest egg, the happier you will be.

An arrogant attitude will be a real turn off for a potential partner or lover. You are a very accomplished person. When you rub your success in your rivals' faces, people cease to admire you. Take a more laid back attitude, especially if you're trying to win back your beloved's affection. Help a newcomer at work. By showing them the ropes, you'll win their lifelong support. This will come in handy sooner than you think, when office shake ups demand workers to take sides.

You're so obsessed with the past you can't recognise new opportunities. The chance to move into a cutting edge industry will fall in your lap. Working as an intern or volunteer won't enrich your bank account, but it will give you valuable skills you can use later. In fact, your knowledge will help you land a new job that will be the envy of all your friends. Just because you achieved success in one area doesn't mean you have to stay with it.

Friends are leading you down a dangerous path. Although it's fun to enter into the festivities, you need to know associating yourself with troublemakers will reflect badly on you. Your family is worried you've acquired bad habits from hanging out with this crowd. Appease their fears by hosting a quiet dinner for your nearest and dearest. No matter what image you have to the outside world, you're still the same person inside.

Wanting to climb the ladder of success is understandable, but you shouldn't do it at the expense of family. Before accepting a demanding job, consider how it will affect your loved ones. If you're a parent, you need to be there for your children. A position that requires lots of travel and late nights isn't appropriate for you. Jobs related to education are highly favoured now. If you're not interested in being a teacher, think about launching a business from your home.

Beware of making snap judgements. You've always prided yourself on being open minded, but you do have a few prejudices. Just because somebody lacks a formal education doesn't mean they know less than you. In fact, there's a good chance they have far more knowledge and know how about sports, entertainment, or history than you. If you need to get some furnishings for your house, comb second hand stores. You can get some great deals on stuff that is well made and distinctive looking.

Your vengeful attitude is very unattractive, but you do have every right to be angry at someone who betrayed you. The longer you dwell on this injustice the more embittered you will become. You have so many options available to you. Choose the one that will afford the greatest happiness. Taking or teaching a class will give you a new lease on life. It will also put you in touch with appreciative students. It's nice to be recognised for your talent, instead of envied for it.

Miscommunications abound. Your best friend, business partner, or lover can't understand how you can be so detached about a family matter. You have had so many negative experiences with a manipulative relative that you have lost hope in their ability to be rehabilitated. Trust your instincts when it comes to a moneymaking opportunity. Working as a counsellor or advisor will put much needed cash in your pocket. This will bring you great fulfilment.

Take medical advice seriously, or you could irritate a minor condition. Avoid foods that give you headaches, rashes, or indigestion. Drink plenty of water and get at least eight hours of sleep a day. If you don't, it will be impossible to fulfil all the tasks required of you. Making your boss angry is the last thing you need. A powerful friend is encouraging you to develop your creative talent. Whenever you need a boost of self esteem, turn to this admirer.
