Upholding a tradition will keep a respected organisation from falling apart. Although it's important to keep up with the times, you should also preserve practices that evoke a sense of belonging. These days, everyone feels alienated by technology. Maintaining a habit that evokes fond memories is smart, even if it is more time consuming and expensive. You'll retain people who want to feel connected to the past, while attracting new participants who seek a sense of community.

You're ready for adventure. Planning an exotic trip fills you with excitement. Don't be surprised when you feel an immediate affinity for people from a radically different culture. You've always appreciated artwork requiring painstaking precision. Enjoying specially prepared food, exquisitely crafted jewellery and masterful paintings will make this one of your best holidays ever. If you're looking for love, you will find it with someone who shares your appreciation for the finer things in life.

Someone will press you for information. Don't give anything away. It's difficult for you to be discreet, because you usually err on the side of transparency. This matter requires secrecy. Telling someone your plans will ultimately derail them. Instead of announcing you are going on a job interview, tell your boss you may need a longer lunch hour. When pressed for an explanation, say that you're dealing with a personal matter. The less forthcoming you are, the better. You must protect your interests.

Working with a partner will be rewarding. You have good instincts about what people need to perform well. Adapting your approach will pave the way to a successful collaboration. You're good at public relations while a colleague is better at financial concerns. When you disagree, stop what you're doing and have a respectful discussion. You're both leaders, so you will have to take turns deferring to one another. Be as objective as possible when weighing up each other's ideas.

It's important to take a methodical approach to a detailed project. Instead of hurrying through tasks, take a measured approach. Catching mistakes as you go will save time, money and effort. It will also help you render a perfect performance. Occasionally, you will be confronted with impatient people who want you to hurry. Turn a deaf ear to their remarks. Your professional reputation is on the line. It's more important to maintain high standards than generate mediocre work.

Earning the respect of your peers is more important than actually winning. If you're competing against a cheater, keep your head held high. Don't sink to their depths. Resist getting drawn into petty arguments and never respond to insults. Your grace under fire will win lots of admirers. Even if you fall short of your goal, you will get several job offers from people who like your style. If there's anything worse than a sore loser, it's a petulant winner. Be gracious regardless of the outcome.

This is a great time to deal with a housing issue. Whether you want to renovate your home, move to a better place or put a bid on a property is immaterial. The important thing is to make a move now, when your chances for finding a good location are excellent. If you are going to stay put, you can refinance a loan or get better terms on a rental property. Put your negotiation skills to work. People are more eager to make deals than they pretend.

You have an opportunity to expand your skill set. Knowing how to operate software programs and machinery will increase your value at work. When your employer realises you are the only one who knows how the entire office functions, you'll be able to get the raise you want. Don't be afraid to drive a hard bargain. Knowledge is power. If you don't act as your own advocate, nobody else will. Fortunately, you've never been afraid to speak as you find.

Enjoying a good quality of life is important to you. You are willing to work hard, as long as you're able to reap significant rewards from your labour. If you're working in a field that doesn't pay well, it's time for a change. Transitioning to an industry that is short of skilled workers will bolster your income. You might have to get specialised training, but that won't bother you. You've always been a fast learner, especially when there is an incentive to do well.

You have no intention of coming in second. It will take hard work, practice and dedication to be the best. Prepare to put your personal life on hold while you strive for supremacy. If you have a romantic partner, ask your amour to be patient. With their support, you'll be able to put in the long hours required to perfect your performance. Are you single? You won't be after reaching the top of your game. Winning a prize or award will turn you into a love magnet.

Escaping to a fantasy world will be a welcome relief. Although you're extremely logical, the brutal reality of daily life can take the wind out of your sails. That's why you should satisfy an urge to read a favourite book, watch an uplifting movie or listen to transporting music. Nobody will fault you for taking a break. You always come back from such interludes feeling refreshed. Don't be surprised when you come up with a brilliant idea after eluding work.

Finding the right set of friends is important. You've always been sensitive to your surroundings. Being with optimistic, contented people will rub off on you. Take careful stock of your emotions. If you always feel bad after spending time with a particular person, keep them at arm's length. Don't feel obligated to come to their rescue at all times. Above all, be very careful when accepting calls or responding to messages from them. You'll soon realise you're much better without their influence.
