Getting an advanced degree or more travel experience will open new doors for you. Although you've made admirable progress in a particular area, you need to expand your horizons. That way, you can continue your climb up the ladder of success. Creative ideas win lots of favour from friends and family alike. Don't be surprised if an artistic endeavour leads to a flirtatious conversation. You're sexiest when expressing your imagination.

It's hard not to make comparisons with a flashy person's success. You've always loved luxuries, and it's frustrating when you can't afford the same things as a close friend. Remember this person may be heavily in debt. Even people who make lots of money are prone to overspending. Fortunately, you have a rich domestic life. Why go out to expensive restaurants when you can enjoy gourmet food at home?

Your devoted attachment to family can be a curse as well as a blessing. It's difficult to go against your loved ones, but you'll have to do just that today. Otherwise, you'll miss a golden opportunity for advancement. Friends and relatives are worried that your decision will mean spending less time together, and they're probably right. However, you've got to carve out your own unique identity if you're going to fulfil your potential.

Being of service to others usually gives you a feeling of accomplishment, but not today. Right now, you've got to conserve all your energy to cope with a personal issue. It's time to draw firm boundaries, especially with regard to your private life. If colleagues expect you to work overtime, you've got to rid them of this notion. You can't always be the one to pick up the slack, anyway. Shift the balance of power.

Fulfilling your responsibilities towards family is less important than meeting your own needs. When is the last time you enjoyed a hobby or prepared your favourite meal? Usually, your first instinct is to share resources with your nearest and dearest. Be a little selfish for a change. If nobody wants to accompany you to a movie or restaurant, go by yourself. Instead of being lonely, you'll enjoy pampering yourself without listening to other people's complaints.

You want to be in the driver's seat today, but that's just not possible. Relying on friends and family is the only way to reach the top. Don't let your pride get in the way of asking for help. You've got all the great ideas, while they've got all the resources. Together, you can accomplish goals beyond your wildest dreams. Set your ego aside. A group victory is better than a personal loss.

Although you're extremely accomplished, you shouldn't close your mind to new ideas. Consider somebody's advice before ignoring it all together. Even the simplest suggestion will boost your efficiency tremendously. A warm friend is especially anxious to help you with a cultural or educational venture. And even though they don't have as much experience as you, their input will help you turn a lacklustre presentation into a successful one. Avoid overconfidence like the plague.

You want nothing more than to snuggle up with the one you love, but financial obligations get in the way. You're going to have to work extra hard to get yourself out of an oppressive debt. Whether this means spending more time at the office or fulfilling an obligation to a friend is immaterial. The fact is, you can't afford to let this situation continue. Set up a repayment schedule if you're a bit short.

The intimacy you seek with a loved one proves elusive today. It seems like everybody needs your time and attention. An authority figure is especially overbearing, assuming you're willing to take on more responsibility than you really want. Unfortunately, resisting your boss's request will rub people the wrong way. It's better to postpone personal plans so you'll look more like a team player. Grin and bear it; relief will come with the weekend.

It seems like nobody has any regard for your health but yourself. Fortunately, you've got your priorities straight. If somebody asks you to submit to a noxious arrangement, issue a polite but firm refusal. There's no reason you should put your emotional, physical, or spiritual well-being at risk for the sake of work. Experts may underplay the severity of your situation, but the only opinion that really counts is yours.

Fun and games won't be in great evidence today, thanks to a stressful social situation. You may find yourself in the middle of several warring parties today. If you want to avoid trouble altogether, refuse to get involved, even as a diplomat. You've got better things to do right now. Somebody may come to you for a loan. Your first impulse may be to say yes, but hold on. Can you really afford such a generous gesture?

Your home won't be much of a haven, as several emergencies will disrupt your domestic harmony. An urgent phone call from work may force you to leave a cosy scene. Don't expect your partner to be happy about this last minute turn of events. If you're not in a relationship, it could be because you fail to set firm boundaries between your personal and professional lives. Consider what this is costing you emotionally.
