Put work on the back burner and enjoy some leisure time. Take a holiday, spend time on hobbies or go on a date. If you don't make time for fun, you will lose your edge. A friend will ask for help, but it won't be convenient for you to drop everything. Be willing to set some healthy boundaries. As a general rule, you're happy to come to the aid of loved ones. Sometimes you have to put your own needs first. This is one of those times.

Spending more time on your personal life will be gratifying. Leave work on time so you can enjoy family gatherings and domestic pleasures. If you live on your own, start building a support network consisting of friends, colleagues and neighbours. It's important for you to feel connected to people who care about you. Have you been longing to buy or sell some property? This is the best time of the year to do so. Any deal you strike will greatly improve your financial standing.

Extend an olive branch to someone with whom you've been arguing. You can resolve your differences, provided you discuss them rationally. Don't let emotion enter the picture. Each of you has a valid point. By hammering out a compromise, you can keep your relationship intact. You may be surprised to hear about a problem that was previously kept from you. This sheds new light on the situation. Suddenly, the other's party behaviour becomes totally understandable.

Your financial situation is about to improve. Take this opportunity to splash out on creature comforts. Too often, you spend all your money on family. It's time to give yourself a treat. Cologne, flowers, jewellery or clothes will make you feel pampered and decadent. Are you looking for a job? You will be offered a lucrative position, possibly in the entertainment field. Don't be afraid to ask for a bigger salary than is initially suggested. Your skills are valuable. Charge accordingly.

Asserting your needs is critical to your emotional health. Lately, you've been pouring all your energy into other people. It's time to treat yourself. Splash out on some new clothes. Update your hairstyle. Enjoy a movie or restaurant you've been longing to experience. People have accused you of being self obsessed, but you're very generous with loved ones. To keep giving to others, you must be good to yourself. If that means turning down a request for help, so be it.

Getting some privacy will be therapeutic. Being a member of a large team can be confusing. It's easy to lose your identity when you're always collaborating. Fortunately, you have a wonderful opportunity to slip away from the crowd. A quiet retreat will calm your nerves and help you focus. If you want to integrate this peace into your daily life, take up a spiritual practice. This will bring welcome balance to your life. Being busy doesn't have to equate with feeling anxious.

An opportunity to network shouldn't be missed. Attending a party or professional conference will result in valuable contacts. Although you are very talented, whom you know is just as important as what you know. It will be difficult to land the assignments you want without having the right connections. Don't be surprised when you are put in charge of a large group. People appreciate your tact, as well as your creative vision. The team knows it can rely on you to set a respectful tone.

Resolving a career matter will be a relief. It's good to know where you stand. If a high profile position becomes available, be sure to apply. The powers that be will be surprised you want to assume such a prominent role. Although you are reclusive by nature, you know the only way to get ahead is to draw attention to yourself. If you make a success of this job, you'll be able to move to a more satisfying and lucrative department.

Open your mind to new experiences. The next time you go out with friends, ask them to take you somewhere you've never been before. You'll be pleasantly surprised. If you're bored, this is a great time to expand your knowledge. Taking an advanced course is strongly advised. You will struggle at first, but that is good for your ego. You never know the true extent of your potential until it is tested. Keep reaching for the stars. You just might grab one.

Satisfying a debt allows you to start a new chapter. While it pains you to drain your bank account, it is nice to be back in the black. Instead of lying in bed worrying, you will sleep soundly. Now that you're on firm ground, you can create some healthy habits. Put a set percentage of each paycheque into savings. Pay for things in cash instead of purchasing things with credit cards. Wait a full day before buying something you crave on impulse.

Make some sacrifices for the sake of your best friend, romantic partner or business contact. You have a hard time expressing your appreciation into words. Kind gestures like these can strengthen your bond. If you've recently embarked on romance, it's time to make a serious commitment. Normally, the prospect of settling down would be intimidating. Now you're ready to take the plunge. Having the right partner can enhance your enjoyment of life, not detract from it.

Changing your habits will make you stronger and healthier. You don't have to forgo your favourite foods altogether, but your diet should be mainly comprised of fresh produce, lean proteins and whole grains. Taking exercise each day is also important. Create strategies for dealing with temptations. Have healthy snacks available when you crave food. Designate a certain time each day for a single decadent treat. Vary your physical activity so it doesn't become boring.
