You may want to tone down your act at a social gathering, or your reputation will suffer. This is especially important if you want to attract a love interest's attention. The more laid back and refined you are, the greater your sex appeal will be. You're also going to have to make some changes if you're going to meet a cherished goal. Just dreaming about a golden future won't bring it to fruition.

Partnership issues take centre stage today; it's time to move the focus off of yourself. Career demands are eating up too much of your attention, making a lover feel neglected and unappreciated. In the event you're looking for romance, get more involved with your community. You could cross paths with an established business person who shares your love of sensual pleasure. You also have a common interest in the arts. Attend a concert together.

A smart person like you needs to be intellectually engaged in order to feel good. If you're suffering from sluggishness or depression, take a class or launch a research project. Be open to other people's suggestions, even if they seem absurd. Exploring unfamiliar territory will cause your energy to come surging back. Your studies could result in a new stream of income. Keep an eye open for teaching or writing opportunities.

You're starting to see results from all your hard work, which is enormously gratifying. Give yourself a small reward, whether it's buying a new outfit to celebrate weight loss or getting a massage for overcoming a job hurdle. If you're running low on cash, you can always opt for inexpensive indulgences. Treat yourself with a trip to a museum, park or library, where you can relax and unwind for little or no money.

You won't convert family members to your point of view through sheer bullying. If you get some resistance to a plan, take a softer approach. Tune in to what your loved ones need in order to feel secure. Whether it's taking measures to make them feel physically comfortable or promising to back down if things don't work out is immaterial. The important thing is to demonstrate you are taking their concerns into account.

Projecting a confident image opens plenty of doors to you, especially ones of the intellectual variety. Don't listen to any voices of self-doubt; the only way you'll move forward is by taking risks. Being focused is half the battle. Make a list of ten things you need to do to reach your goals, then check them off one by one. Copying the behaviour of a successful friend is advised. Treat this person as your mentor.

Your values are about to be tested today, so be prepared to struggle with your conscience. It's especially important to be strict with children who are pushing your buttons. Although you don't want to be the bad guy, you've got to enforce discipline. Otherwise, your young friends won't have the tools to succeed later in life. Fortunately, you can exercise authority without traumatising the kids in question. Be firm but fair.

A family member or house mate is operating under some severe delusions. You're going to have to set this person straight, although this will require a bit of cunning. You can't be too aggressive, or you'll look like a terrible bully. The best way to change their behaviour is by appealing to their vanity. The opportunity to go on a business trip could open new doors for you. The contacts you make will be invaluable.

This is not the time to get into arguments about religion or politics. You need to be building bridges, not burning them down. Make a special effort to understand where a neighbour or sibling is coming from. Listening more than speaking is critical. Paying off an old debt causes your confidence to soar. If you're faced with a choice between repaying a friend or a credit card agency, select the former.

Romance is highly favoured, as you're able to reach a new understanding with your beloved. Sharing the same hopes and dreams makes it easy to work together. If you're not in a relationship, keep your eyes open for a nurturing homebody who wants to lavish you with tender loving care. You're overdue for some pampering. Don't be too aggressive about pursuing this person; old-fashioned courtship methods work best with this wallflower.

You've got to stop fooling yourself with regard to career goals that aren't working out. Taking a new approach is essential. Whether that means getting more education, entering a new field, or taking a pay cut is up to you. Fortunately, you're in a position to establish good habits that will help you to achieve success. Go ahead and explore the unknown. Don't continue on your current path just for the sake of security.

If you're longing for romance, channel your energy into artistic endeavours. You're never sexier than when you're exercising your creativity on a regular basis. If you're already in a relationship, get into the habit of devoting time to your favourite hobbies. This will keep the passion alive between you. You need to be personally fulfilled in order to be a loving mate. Opt for gentle exercise today, or you could sustain an injury.
