You're making great progress in your social life. Everywhere you go, people are eager to meet you. They respond well to your upbeat attitude. These days, it seems like everybody is afraid to take risks. You are the refreshing exception to this rule. You're not very good with money and could spend beyond your means. Resist temptation by staying away from your favourite stores and keeping off the Internet. Why put yourself in the path of trouble if you can avoid it?

It's hard getting your point across to a friend who can't or won't listen. Stop wasting your time and turn your attention to something constructive. Planning a short trip for pleasure is highly favoured. A female relative has been longing for you to visit. You'll have a great time on this trip, picking up a lot of exquisite clothing and furniture along the way. Fortunately, your boss will be able to grant you some time off. It pays to be the most valued member of the team!

Nagging fears are holding you back from taking a financial risk. Although you've had a great deal of success in a particular field, it's grown old and stale. It's time to move to a new industry, even if its future is uncertain. You're the type who needs work involving plenty of intellectual stimulation. When your job becomes routine, you know it's time to move on. Fortunately, you'll find a wonderful position that pays very well in the area of banking, property or hospitality.

Friends are jealous you are spending so much time away from them, but it really can't be helped. A creative project is taking up every second of your free time. You can't afford to turn away from this endeavour while inspiration has you firmly by the hand. The next time somebody calls to invite you out for drinks, explain what you're doing. Resentment will fade if you explain what you're doing. Luckily, a romantic or business partner is ready to defend you.

Your boss keeps changing his or her mind, making your job miserable. Don't get started on a project until a final decision has been rendered. After all, you've got other important things to do. You might as well use your time productively while your superior develops a strategy. Overhauling your diet and exercise plan will yield impressive results. You need to cut out sugar, fat and alcohol, at least for the short term future. You'll be thrilled when you can fit back into your favourite clothes.

A nit picking teacher is criticising your very move. You simply can't make progress under these conditions. Find someone else who can give you instruction. A sympathetic colleague who mastered this course some time ago may be willing to help you after hours. The difference in approaches will be enormous. A female friend will suggest a movie or book. Be sure to follow up on this recommendation, as it will inspire you to make some important changes to your personal life.

Money from an inheritance, grant or refund will be delayed. This could cause havoc with your financial situation. Fortunately, several other moneymaking opportunities are around the corner. Keep your eyes open for them. Jobs which allow you to work from home are especially favoured. They may not be particularly stimulating, but they will be lucrative. Having an additional income stream will help you make beautiful improvements to your home.

This isn't a good time to sign a contract or enter into a business agreement. The terms are heavily against you. Hold out for a better deal, even if it means losing money in the short term. A powerful legal advisor can find a better situation for you, thanks to their extensive contacts. Overseas ventures can be rewarding, and may involve a few glamorous trips. If you have childcare issues, call upon a loving relative for help. You can trust this family member to do a good job.

If you're not satisfied with a medical consultation, get a second opinion. You may fare better with a holistic practitioner who seeks to treat the cause of your problems, rather than the symptoms. You'll make your money stretch farther by drawing on existing resources. Rather than buy a new couch, refurbish the old one. Content yourself with an older model instead of the most recent version. There are bargains to be had if you look around for them.

You're tired of working all the time while everybody else is out having fun. The only person who can change this equation is you. Cut back your time at the office, even at the risk of angering your boss. You simply can't continue this way. In the unlikely event you get fired, you'll find another moneymaking opportunity at a house of worship, arts organisation or government agency. The pay won't be fabulous, but it will cover your bills. Best of all, you'll have more free time!

Your creative vision is impressive and will attract lots of favourable publicity. There's never been a better time to put your work on display. A secret admirer may pay lots of money for the privilege of owning one of your photographs, sculptures or gadgets. Beware of taking a neighbour or relative's criticisms to heart. Jealousy causes people to say ugly things. Be proud of your accomplishments and celebrate with people who are happy for your success. You've worked hard to get to this point!

A message or package will be misdirected, causing you to wait longer than you anticipated. This is really annoying, but it can't be helped. A well connected friend may be able to help you out of this mess. Don't hesitate to call upon him for assistance. You'll have a divine opportunity to spend quality time with a lover, child or pet this evening. Turn off your mobile and devote your full attention to your beloved. It's been too long since you enjoyed each other's exclusive company.
