Never fear; things will move forward in their own good time. Until then, be patient.

Hosting a social gathering for your colleagues can be really enjoyable. You love showing off your beautiful home.

Treat yourself to a domestic makeover.

It looks like a short trip could be on the cards, which puts a spring in your step. There's nothing you love more than getting a change of scenery.

In the event you are in a relationship, you may want to invite your beloved along, even if you're travelling on business.

Having a rich and fulfilling home life makes you feel centred and strong and although you're determined to earn as much money as you can to sustain a luxurious household, you can take this urge too far.

Surrounding yourself with creative people ignites your own imagination. Although you've always prided yourself on being a practical person, you really have the soul of an artist.

It's time to develop your hidden dimensions.

Realising a cherished dream isn't as far-fetched as you might think. The trick is to ask for help when you need it. Friends in high places can lend assistance.

The paperwork can be daunting, but you're smart enough to figure it all out.

You've got great instincts about making money and increasing your personal wealth. Don't bother following conventional financial wisdom unless it meshes with your sensibilities.

Your strong will uplifts and inspires the people in your social circle. If you sense a friend is feeling adrift, offer some friendly advice.

You've often had difficulty balancing the demands of work and family, and today is no exception. It may feel more comforting to be at the office, where tasks are delegated and there's a clear chain of command. Coping with relatives and roommates is a different situation, though. Instead of ducking these dilemmas, face them head on. Resist the urge to strong-arm somebody into doing things your way. That strategy rarely works, and always creates resentment.

If you want to master a certain subject, surround yourself with experts. You absorb knowledge through osmosis. Pretty soon, you'll be able to make a convincing argument without ever having consulted a text book. Of course, there's no reason you can't get a bona fide degree.

If you sense that somebody has a crush on you, you're probably right. You've got great instincts about such matters.

There's an intensity between you that is sure to generate friction. Happily, you enjoy this sort of tension, because it sustains your sexual interest.
