Your guardian angel could be working overtime on your behalf; don't be ashamed to accept help. Working behind the scenes may be preferable to taking a leading role. It's easier to be creative when you're not being scrutinised. A needy neighbour may try to take advantage of your good nature. Watch after your own interests.

Whether it's volunteering for a charity, helping a colleague, or relieving your partner of chores, you need to make yourself useful. Otherwise, it will become increasingly difficult to break out of a depression. Yes, you've experienced some serious disappointments, but that's bound to happen. It's time to regain control of your life.

Your unconventional methods could win favourable attention; take this opportunity to branch into other areas. Being a one-track pony won't satisfy for long. Besides, you've got more talents than people give you credit for. Stop playing second fiddle to someone who isn't worthy of a leadership position.

Some good news could change your future prospects dramatically, but don't rest on your laurels just yet. A romantic relationship could still use some work. If your temper has been a problem, work on strategies to control it. Your mate could also use an apology. Money won't make your problems disappear. In fact, it could complicate them.

Your long hibernation is coming to a close; start thinking about what you'd like to achieve this spring. Sign up for a class, gather materials for a project, or update your resume.

Public relations are highly favoured; if you need to make business contacts, make your move today. The way you carry yourself is key. Stop apologising for things that are beyond your control, and demand the respect you deserve. Until you learn to do this, you will be continually undervalued and overlooked. Break the cycle.

Caring for others could have some unexpected financial rewards; don't listen to folks who claim you're wasting your time. The fact is, you have a tremendous need to nurture people less fortunate than yourself. Suppressing this desire will only result in depression. Have the courage to break an unhealthy habit. It's draining you of valuable energy.

Winning somebody's favour shouldn't involve going against your principles; why are you so eager to please? Perhaps the person in question possesses qualities you want. If so, develop the traits you like, and leave the negative behaviours behind. Being a hanger-on is the fastest way to drain your personal power. You know better than that.

Living from paycheque to paycheque is no way to go through life; it's time to learn some investment strategies. It's easy to make money once you learn how it works.

Although you're wrapped up in important projects, you need to put down your work and call some loved ones. You can't afford to offend the people who have supported you for years.

You've got to stop making excuses for why you haven't reached the top of your game. The only thing that lies between you and your dreams is fear. If you fail, so what? You can always pick yourself up and try again. Besides, working toward something you want is much more exciting than accepting the status quo.
