Clinging to the past makes it difficult to see the opportunities that are currently before you. Stop dwelling on poor choices you've made. The fact is, plenty of people have overcome the same sorts of obstacles. One thing you have on your side is a willingness to learn. This is an excellent time to enrol in a certification course. You may have to put in odd hours, but the rewards are worth it.

Be very careful about how you conduct yourself in public, because people are watching you. When in doubt, it's better to say nothing at all than to offer an opinion. It may be difficult to tear yourself away from home, but do your best. Your absence from a work-related function will reflect badly on you. Fortunately, you can still win points by showing up and keeping a low profile. Today is a balancing act.

You may not know as much as you think about a particular topic. Attending a lecture or reading a book could fill in the gaps in your knowledge quite nicely. A powerful friend could enable you to go on an exotic trip you've been dreaming about. You may have to combine business with pleasure, but don't let that deter you from going away. Going on trips always improves your mood, no matter what the reason.

You're an idealist when it comes to romance, which can lead to some dramatic highs and lows. Right now, you may be giving somebody too much credit for being honourable. Take this person's words with a pinch of salt. On the plus side, your health is excellent. Pour your considerable energy into a project that requires lots of physical effort. You could finish this job in record time. Give yourself a nice little reward.

A business or romantic partner isn't being completely honest with you, so beware. You're better off following your own instincts, especially when it comes to personal choices. If you feel it's time to end an arrangement, don't talk about it; just do it. Your creative talents are very strong right now. This is an excellent time to go on auditions, display your work, or submit a manuscript. You don't need anyone's help right now.

Continuing to ignore annoying aches and pains is a mistake; consult a health professional. Even if there is nothing wrong with you, it's better to put such a fear out of your head. Subconscious worries have been undermining your personal progress. Maybe you're afraid of giving up a bad habit. Perhaps you feel that closing a certain chapter of your life will cut you off from friends. Remember, you have to do what's best for you.

Your creative potential is tremendous today, so don't waste your time on mundane tasks. Instead, pour your energy into an art project. Exercising your imagination always heightens your sex appeal. Don't be surprised if several people express interest in you. A neighbour or relative could talk you into a fun trip. Stop thinking of excuses and just go. Your spontaneous behaviour will only increase your allure.

Being loyal to your loved ones is admirable, but consider if you're really helping the person in question. Perhaps a family member needs to experience negative consequences if they're ever going to reform. Constantly running interference for this person will only prolong their agony. You also have to protect your reputation. Do you really want to associate yourself with somebody whose actions hurt others?

Don't believe everything you hear today, as reports can be wildly exaggerated. You're better off taking a conservative approach to work and relationships. In a few days, you'll have a clearer idea of how you should spend your energy. In the meantime, try not to get too worked up over a neighbour's inconsiderate behaviour. Chances are, this person is only crying out for attention. Don't give them the satisfaction.

You need to be more disciplined about your spending habits if you want to afford luxuries. There's nothing wrong with dreaming about a beautiful home or a fancy car, but you have to take practical steps toward these goals. Start a savings fund, and keep track of everything you buy. Cut out pictures of your dream acquisitions, and hang them up as visual reminders. If you can conceive it, you can achieve it.

It's hard to keep your head out of the clouds, so don't even bother. Contrary to popular belief, daydreams do serve a valuable purpose. If there are problems and hassles ahead look for ways to change them for the better. The more detailed your ideas and ideals are, the better. Take careful notes on what you really want from life, especially with regard to your relationships. There's no reason you can't work toward these objectives.

You're fooling yourself if you think you can't make a positive difference in the world. Don't let negative media coverage convince you to give up on life. Getting involved with a volunteer organisation will help you see just how much you can improve other people's lives. Beware of taking on too many work responsibilities. Your health is fragile now, and you need to follow a sensible sleep and exercise schedule.
