Authority figures have a way of bringing out the worst in you. Avoid police officers, government officials, and work superiors like the plague. If you are forced to grapple with such a person, remember to count to ten before you speak. The more calm and collected you are, the easier it will be to placate your antagonist. Some brisk exercise will take the edge off any tension that builds up in your body.

Putting in an appearance at a glamorous party will cause your star to rise. There's something captivating about the way you enter a room and although you may be too tired to dance the night away, it is a good idea to drop in and say hello. You may lock eyes with a sexy flirt. Don't be deterred if you overhear some catty remarks. People are bound to be jealous of a stunner like you.

If you're experiencing financial difficulties, team up with a partner. This person will help you circumvent any limitations that blocked your path in the past. Fortunately, you've always had a knack for meeting people from all walks of life. It may be wise to reach out to a person who has powerful government or corporate connections. Such ties are essential when you want to launch a business or get a permit.

Domestic responsibilities could keep you at home when you'd rather be out on the town. Normally, you prefer staying close to your family. Tonight, however, you're anxious to escape well-meaning relatives. If this isn't possible, you may want to invest in an exercise machine or some art supplies. Such distractions will help you cope with the limitations that have been imposed on you. Try to make the best of a difficult situation.

You yearn to make a good impression on a romantic interest, but hold on. You may want to do some background research before approaching this person. You wouldn't want to say anything to offend their sensibilities. These days, subjects like religion and politics are tinderboxes. Instead of expressing your own views, ask the object of your affection questions. There's nothing more attractive than a good listener.

Beware of being too generous with your hard earned cash, especially where lovers and children are concerned. Right now, you may feel guilty about not spending enough time with your nearest and dearest and while this is a problem, it won't be solved by handing out cash and expensive gifts. Make a commitment to spend less time at work. It's more important to have an enriching personal life than a stellar career.

Power struggles at home could drive you to distraction this evening. You're tired of arguing about who did what to whom. Part of the problem is that each of you feels as though you've been stripped of power. Instead of fighting for supremacy, find ways to work together. Your goals don't have to be mutually exclusive. Be honest about your feelings, and be open to changing your own ways. Otherwise, you'll reach an impasse.

You're tired of being reminded of your shortcomings, but rivals continue to bait you. Maybe it's because you've always been so self-reliant in the past. Now that you're in unfamiliar surroundings, your detractors take pleasure in taunting you. Instead of letting these barbs get the better of you, do something nice for yourself. Spend time with a loved one who appreciates your considerable intellectual and creative talents. Your ego could use some stroking!

Your social life has been running you ragged, and it's time to slow down. Instead of heading out to a party or night club, stay home and curl up with a good book. Dive into a documentary. Indulge in some inspirational music. Although it's true you've been blessed with abundant energy, even a dynamo like you has a breaking point. You'll look and feel much better once you've taken some time for yourself.

A close partner may cause you some anxiety today, and it's important to treat this person with kid gloves. It's possible that this person has been putting too many demands on you. Normally, you're perfectly willing to go above and beyond the call of duty. Right now, however, you want to attend to some personal plans. If your associate threatens to undermine your schedule, a confrontation may be in order.

Your imagination is more vivid than ever, which helps you with creative projects. Writing a book, perfecting an invention, or taking photographs are all favoured. Onlookers may accuse you of wasting your time, but that's only because they lack your vision. As far as you're concerned, it's more important to be creative than it is to bring the money in. Anybody can earn a salary; it takes genius to build something out of nothing.

You've got great financial and commercial instincts; it's saving some that is the problem! If you don't have a retirement fund, it's time to start one. Even putting your loose change into a piggy bank each day is better than frittering away your resources. Accumulating wealth is all about establishing good habits. Once you get used to setting funds aside, it won't seem like such a burden. Having a nest egg will boost your confidence.
