Romantic fantasising could put a damper on your sex life. Instead of idolising some unattainable object of desire, focus on your partner. You can put the spice back into your relationship, provided you're willing to deal with the ingredients you've got. Sexy talk can work wonders right now, as you know just what to say to send your beloved over the edge. Single? Cultivate your own sex appeal by wearing clothes that appeal to your sensual side. Try to turn heads.

Business talks are highly favoured now, especially with regard to industries like insurance, research, and medicine. If none of these businesses appeal to you, never fear. You turn a handsome profit by investing in such companies. This could leave you free to start your own business. A female authority figure may be telling you one thing, then doing another because she's unsure of how to proceed. Insist on getting written instructions before undertaking a project. It pays to protect your interests.

Your cheerful outlook helps you land a plum position. Colleagues are clamouring to work with you, knowing that you always work to get the best result possible. Someone who has more education or skills may be confounded by your popularity. The secret to your success is really very simple: you offer plenty of praise and encouragement, while couching criticisms in the most constructive language possible. It's a rare talent that serves you well. Keep looking on the positive side.

A pleasant communication with a family member lends valuable perspective. It's possible you're worried about a financial obligation. Heeding your relative's advice will help you rectify the situation. After all, this person has had plenty of experience dealing with such struggles, and has always come out on top. If you're looking for a way to make extra money, you may consider taking on a roommate. Seek someone who shares your love of privacy. That way, you will be sure to respect each other's boundaries.

Working on a writing project can feel incredibly liberating. You've always been an expressive person, but usually perform to large crowds. Today, you may opt for a more understated means of creation. A business partner or lover could be giving you mixed signals. Instead of trying to interpret their mystifying behaviour, busy yourself with tasks you enjoy. That way, your friend will be prompted to clean up their act, and you won't end up feeling resentful. It's a win-win situation.

This is a great time to create a budget, but make sure you put some aside for rest and recreation or fun and laughs. Yes, you've always been a resourceful person, but all that frugality won't mean much unless it affords you opportunities to have fun. A colleague may try to commit emotional blackmail. Don't fall for this trick, or you will end up compromising your relationship. You've got to establish boundaries, or this person will always get the upper hand, making you feel like a victim.

A creative block could be driving you to distraction. If you're going to blast through this brick wall, you've got to get some distance from your work. Go to the movies, visit a museum, or browse through a craft store. Choose a place rife with sensual stimulation. Nothing stocks your imagination like bright colours, pleasing scents, and enchanting sounds. Go ahead and bribe your artist with beautiful tools of the trade, like new paints or a silk-covered notebook.

You could receive some welcome news, which comes as music to your ears. Of course, a household situation remains challenging, but now life is looking up in other areas, you're able to manage the problem with relative ease. Part of the problem may be you're not asking for help. And while it's admirable that you're such an independent person, this desire to be free of obligations can create unnecessary trouble for you. Ask a relative for a favour.

Working on a creative project in secret gives you a delicious lift. You're tired of having people offer unsolicited advice on your efforts, anyway. One of the reasons friends are so free with these criticisms is that you're such an open person. Everybody assumes you want to hear their opinions, when all you really crave is encouragement. A good way to improve this situation is to be more selective about sharing your work with others. It's a matter of creative survival.

Kindness and consideration from friends helps you withstand a tough financial period. It's possible you don't know where your next paycheque is coming from. If that's the case, you need to tell as many people as possible you're looking for work. This can be difficult for a proud person like you, but the fact is, the best way to get your needs met is to advertise. This will be a rare opportunity for loved ones to repay the favours you've bestowed.

It's important to face the reality of a career matter that has gone sour. Although you may have thrived in this job at one time, it may be necessary to move on. Don't despair; there are plenty of other opportunities available right now. You'd be especially wise to look into industries related to advertising or art. Teaching classes can bring in welcome revenue. You're methods may be unorthodox, which is why they are so effective. Be as offbeat as you'd like.

An interest in foreign cultures and art forms could prompt you to make a surprising decision. Nagging fears of what others will say could keep you awake at night. You should know by now your life has never resembled any one else's. With that in mind, why should you try to pattern your behaviour after the crowd? Keep listening to your instinct, which is your best guide. You're on the brink of a grand adventure.
