You've finally found a good use for your expertise, which is gratifying. Take pains not to lord your knowledge over an ignorant friend.. Although it is tempting to show off, you wouldn't want to alienate this person altogether. Perhaps you should offer some instruction in this subject. That way, you can win your pal's admiration while doing something positive. Beware of indulging a moody child with expensive gifts.

All the charm in the world may not get you out of hot water with an authority figure. If you've messed up, just say so and vow to do better. Otherwise, you will lose this person's trust. On the plus side, there is a possibility of forming a powerful partnership with somebody who is very clever with money. By adopting their approach towards finance, you could build enough wealth to become your own boss!

You're simply brimming with fantastic ideas, which makes you a popular figure. However, make sure that your brainstorms have practical applications before proposing them. Otherwise, people may accuse you of being a flake. Fortunately, it's easy for you to think on your feet. If somebody challenges one of your propositions, you'll be able to come up with a funny rejoinder. Just don't press your luck! It's better to be safe than sorry.

There are so many tempting things in the shops these days that it's hard not to incur debts. Before you grab your credit cards, though, think of all the mental anguish you can save yourself by spending within your means. If you apply your energy to finding higher-paying jobs, you'll be much happier. Your skills will be in demand, particularly if you're willing to start at the bottom and work your way to the top.

You're being asked to give an awful lot from a partner, but are being given precious little in return. Go ahead and do something nice for yourself today. If the offending party objects, refuse to fall victim to their comments. Once this person sees that you are no longer manipulated by their behaviour, they'll shape up. If they don't, there are plenty of people who are willing to take their place. You're a hot commodity!

Pretending that group dynamics are better than they actually are is a mistake. It's better to let people express their anger in public. Not only will this alleviate the pressure that has been building up, but it will relieve you of your peacekeeping duties. If you've been thinking of making changes to your home, go through your glossy magazines and use any of the ideas that appeal to you. It's best to work from visual examples.

Drowning your sorrows in food or drink is comforting at first, but the fun will eventually wear off. It's better to confront the source of your pain, even if it means ripping open some old wounds. If you're no longer in contact with the person in question, you may want to write them a letter. You don't have to mail it; in fact, you can rip it up or burn it once you've finished.

Hiding away at home is reassuring, but it ultimately won't boost your reputation. You're going to have to mingle with people, whether you're in a good mood or not. This may seem like a terribly unreasonable thing to ask of you, but try to keep the situation in perspective. Plenty of people have to smile and be pleasant when they're really feeling wretched inside. You'll find you can do the same with a little effort.

You're going to have to back up words with actions if you're going to impress somebody important. Normally, it's very easy for you to wiggle out of problems through the sheer force of your personality. Today, however, you are going to have to demonstrate you are serious about a particular relationship or arrangement. This may mean making some personal sacrifices or being more efficient in the way you fulfil responsibilities.

Spending money on a problem won't make it disappear, so don't even try. Instead, work on changing your ways so these issues stop surfacing. You're a lot more adaptable than you give yourself credit for. Besides, once a loved one sees you are willing to make sacrifices for the sake of your relationship, they'll be more helpful, too. Pay careful attention to your dreams this evening, as they could be very revealing.

Others may be jealous of all the good luck that's come your way, which is a shame. You'd much rather celebrate with friends than sit home alone. Perhaps you should think about widening your social circles. Not everyone is as petty and mean-spirited as the ones you've been dealing with. Seek out people who share your interests. A bright person like you needs intellectual stimulation to stay fresh and energised.

It's possible you're being too generous with somebody who is tugging at your heartstrings. Be especially wary of this person if they ask you for money. If you're feeling restless and bored, focus on strengthening your career. Assuming heavier responsibilities will result in good things for you. If you're not happy with your current path, you might want to look around for other opportunities that seem more rewarding.
