Trust your instincts about a romantic relationship. If someone isn't returning your calls or seeking your company, move on to greener pastures. You deserve a partner who cares about you. Are you already in a relationship? Work hard to keep the magic alive. This is a great time to plan a relaxing vacation or special surprise. Tailor this treat around your amour's interests. If that means going someplace that doesn't interest you, so be it. Schedule the outing anyway and be cheerful about it.

You're very popular. People know you mean what you say and say what you mean. Whenever someone needs a straight answer, they come to you. You have no problem giving deluded people reality checks. That's probably why a relative avoids you. This individual just wants praise and affirmation, even when they're engaged in destructive behaviour. Instead of looking the other way, you confront the problem. If that means making a scene, so be it. You have no intention of propping up this false image.

Your productivity will soar. Take this opportunity to tie up loose ends so you'll have the weekend free for fun. A lazy colleague may not give you the materials you require to complete a job. Go ahead and exert a little pressure, explaining the situation is time sensitive. People are unwilling to get on your bad side, since you're virtually the only one who knows how everything works. With a little prodding, you'll get the paperwork you want to proceed.

Let your playful side out. Recently, you've been busy with family responsibilities. While it was good to help your nearest and dearest, the experience was depleting. Take time out of your busy schedule to do things you love. Take a walk through the park, spend the day with your favourite pet or curl up with a good book. You might want to treat yourself to a movie marathon or spa visit. Be willing to put your needs first. They are important.

Working at home could be an option. You yearn to escape from a long commute and nasty office politics. If this isn't an option, think about launching a home based business. Being able to set your hours and choose clients will be liberating. There will be aspects of this arrangement you don't like. That's natural, but the benefits could far outweigh the shortcomings. Build a lifestyle that is a reflection of your tastes, values and needs. You're worth it.

You're a great listener. This ability to pay close attention to others has been helpful over the years. You've picked up a lot of valuable information. Don't be surprised if you hear a juicy secret. Resist the temptation to share this news. It's impossible to know if it is true or not. On the plus side, you could hear about an opportunity that can benefit a close alliance. Tell your business or romantic partner about a job opening that seems tailor made for them.

A need for emotional security will prompt you to spend more time on relationships. If this means reducing your office hours, so be it. You can't possibly cultivate intimacy if you're always working. Friends are eager to see you, but make family your first priority. Get the whole group to prepare a meal together. Do you live far from kin? Build a support network consisting of neighbours, colleagues and friends. It's important for you to have relationships that help you celebrate the good times and withstand the difficult moments.

You have a powerful desire to be admired and appreciated. Showcasing your work is critical. Stop hiding your light under a bushel. As a general rule, you prefer to stay offstage, observing the action from the wings. If you're going to get the recognition you deserve, you must get used to standing in the spotlight. You exude an air of mystery that is captivating. You will have no trouble commanding the attention of an audience. Be irreverent, but resist mocking the authorities. Powerful people can help you.

You're afraid to discuss your true feelings with someone whose beliefs are different from yours. Pretending to agree about a certain situation makes you feel like a hypocrite. It is best to come clean. This could give rise to an argument, but you'd rather be clear about your values. Be honest about why these conversations have made you uncomfortable. Agreeing to avoid sensitive subjects may be the only way to maintain this relationship. You have no desire to be engaged in a perpetual debate.

Spending time with friends will lift your spirits. It's important for you to confide your thoughts, fears and dreams. When you keep these concerns bottled up, you become vulnerable to stress. Your immune system becomes weaker and exhaustion sets in. Take this opportunity to slow down. Don't feel guilty about going out to dinner with your favourite people or sneaking off to the movies with your amour. You've earned some down time. If you're worried about finances, brainstorm some moneymaking ideas with a successful business owner.

You might have to sacrifice your private life for professional success in the short term. Spending long hours at your job will be tiring but helpful. You have to demonstrate to other people you are willing to go above and beyond the call of duty. Once the authorities understand you can be trusted to work independently, you'll have more time for parties, hobbies and relaxation. Until then, stay focused on your career goals and keep expanding your skill set. Victory will be yours.

Taking a trip will be a welcome change of pace. You're tired of being bogged down by a role you assumed some time ago. Visiting another city or country will give you a welcome perspective. You'll start to realise certain decisions aren't set in stone. You may decide to leave a job, start a relationship or take up a hobby. It doesn't matter what change you make, so long as it resonates with your spirit. There's more to life than work and responsibility.
