Obey the letter of the law. Cutting corners will get you in trouble. It will also cause someone you respect to look at you with suspicion. Many people place great value on the rules. When they see a troublemaker ignoring these strictures, they take it as a sign of arrogance. Take this opportunity to show you can play the game as well as everybody else. Your humble attitude will cause the object of your affection to look at you in a new light.

You're a good steward of other people's resources. That's because you're practical about when to save and spend money. As far as you're concerned, there's no point in buying shoddy merchandise, since it will invariably break before it gets much use. At the same time, you don't feel compelled to buy the most expensive merchandise when a mid-level brand is more appropriate. Keep meticulous records of all your expenditures and make them available to the public.

Lean on a partner when you are too tired to continue. Your best friend or amour will be happy to relieve you of a terrible burden. Listen carefully to their advice. You have a tendency to overanalyse things. Instead of making excuses for maintaining a toxic friendship or staying in an oppressive job, make a change. The world won't fall apart when you move in a healthier direction. Sometimes your loved ones know you better than you understand yourself.

You're making slow but steady progress towards a health goal. It's been difficult changing your routine, but it has benefitted you. Keep up the good work. Give yourself a reward for the progress you have made. Splash out on new clothes, get a massage or take the day off work. When you treat yourself well, others follow suit. It then becomes easier to resist temptation, whether it's rich food or a sedentary lifestyle. Accept jokes about your new ways with grace; your family really is happy for you.

Developing your creative talent should be your first priority. Just because your art won't make money at this stage is no reason to neglect it. Study with an accomplished teacher you respect. Do all your assignments and practice diligently. If you don't put the proper time and energy into your lessons, your instructor will lose interest in you. Demonstrate you are worthy of their attention. By pushing yourself to the limit, you'll have an impressive series of breakthroughs.

Creating a secure foundation for your family fills you with pride. Your nearest and dearest respect your efforts to create an environment that helps everyone to thrive. If that means having strict rules, so be it. Work together to find ways where everyone feels valued. If a musician needs time to practice, create a schedule that won't throw the rest of the household in turmoil. Similarly, make sure others are able to get enough sleep so they can function well during waking hours.

A thoughtful, methodical approach to work will attract the attention of a creative colleague. Joining forces will benefit you both. You will enjoy working alongside someone who isn't afraid to take risks. They'll appreciate your ability to make order from chaos. After collaborating for an extended period of time, you may decide to launch a business with your partner. Obey this impulse. You make a dynamic duo that is destined for success. Work involving the law, property or human relations will be especially profitable.

You're working hard to attain financial security. Holding two jobs will be challenging, but this arrangement won't be permanent. After demonstrating what a capable and talented worker you are, an impressive position will be offered to you. Not only will the salary be impressive, but the duties will give you more independence. It will be a relief to escape the gimlet gaze of a micromanager. For now, do everything you can to move up the ladder to success. Sacrifices will pay off.

You're determined to be recognised for your abilities. You have friends in high places who will be happy to help you step into the limelight and make the most of your many skills and talents. You sometimes find it hard to ask for favours, since you've always had pride in doing everything by yourself. The sooner you push past these inhibitions and reservations, the better. We're here to help one another and you will be more than happy to return the favour in times to come.

A team effort will be successful. You're very good at delegating tasks and providing direction. Some people will resent your bossy attitude, but most will welcome it. Unless there's someone who has a clear vision of what should be done, the whole project will fall to pieces. Anyone who tries to defy your authority should be reprimanded. You're not an egomaniac, but you do expect everybody to do their fair share with a minimum of fuss. Troublemakers should go elsewhere.

Working in solitude will increase your productivity. When you've hit upon a brilliant idea, you want time and space to develop it. Feel free to hang up a 'do not disturb' sign near the entryway. Colleagues will respect your request for privacy. If someone needs your help with a complicated task only you can perform, dispatch it as quickly as possible. This may be your cue to train others in this area. It's never smart to rely on just one person to do a given task.

You're determined to get to the top of your profession. Having a prestigious job won't just satisfy your ego. It will also bring long term financial success. That's because once you have the reputation for being the best in your field, you'll be able to work virtually anywhere. Such freedom is very appealing to you, because you hate feeling backed into a corner. Do your best to attain specialised knowledge that is in great demand. This will help you climb the ladder of success.
