Be honest with yourself.

This is a good time to re-evaluate your goals, especially with regard to your material wealth. You have a tendency to confuse money with happiness.

You'll be amazed how your perspective changes as a result.

Someone may promise one thing, then fail to deliver, which makes you furious. Your best line of defence is to improve your skills and look for positions outside your current industry.

Under today's New Moon even a homebody like you needs to get away once in a while, so start planning a trip.

Let them talk you into some amusing diversions. A change of scenery will refresh your mind.

Your gift for leadership is strong, but that doesn't prevent you from making an occasional mistake. If you've overstepped your bounds, make an immediate public apology.

Accepting help from a spouse, business partner, or intimate associate takes some burdens off your shoulders. Too often, you don't give the people in your life credit for doing a competent job.

Do some research on the Internet about health and well being; you could come across valuable tips. Treating your body with the care and respect it deserves will boost your self-esteem.

If you're going to make new friends, you have to be more outgoing and agreeable. There is something intimidating about your appearance that makes strangers afraid of you. It's all well and good to have mystique, but would it kill you to smile at folks every now and then? Make an effort to strike up conversations with strangers for the next month.

You're uncharacteristically vulnerable right now, taking to heart innocent jokes intended to make you laugh. Maybe this is a sign you need some old-fashioned tender loving care. Snuggle up with a loved one. If nobody is readily available, you can always adopt a pet. "Intimacy" isn't a four-letter word, you know.

A busy schedule keeps you on your toes, and that's just the way you like it. For the past few weeks, things were moving at a snail's pace.

Moneymaking opportunities are finally becoming available, requiring immediate action. If you haven't been sending out resumes and going on job interviews, do so now.

Putting the finishing touches on a personal project gives you a profound sense of satisfaction. You've always had your own way of doing things, which frequently irks friends and family alike.

The New Moon in your sign augurs a fresh start for you from today on.
