One of your most admirable qualities is your insistence on living life to the fullest. Take care this impulse doesn't translate into loud arguments. Yes, you have very definite opinions, but that doesn't mean there isn't room for other interpretations. Avoid conversations about sensitive topics like religion, politics or sexuality. Otherwise, you could offend someone who could prove to be a valuable ally.

A friendship could blossom into romance quite suddenly. This turn of events could give you a whole new lease on life. If you already have a partner, the two of you may decide to get involved with a cause close to both of your hearts. This decision could result in a second honeymoon phase. You're never sexier than when you're engaged in meaningful work. Prepare for a blissfully romantic evening.

A male relative may not approve of a close friend or partner. Stand in your beloved's defence, even at the risk of creating trouble in your family. Your happiness is more important than this man's acceptance. The good news is you're feeling happier and healthier than you have in a long time. Your attractive glow is evident to everyone you meet, and could result in a very glamorous job offer.

Gambles of all kinds pay off today. Buying a lottery ticket, going public with a crush, or entering a contest are all highly favoured today. In fact, not taking a risk would be a waste of a golden opportunity. It may be best not to tell others of your plans. Miscommunications will abound. On the other hand, a delay or missed call could turn out to be very lucky for you.

A sudden windfall in the form of a tax refund, legal ruling or marriage settlement could turn your life around. Be sure to spend these funds on something that will draw you closer to a heartfelt dream. Chances like these are few and very far between. Refuse to buy into the idea you have to work incredibly hard to attract financial fortune. The opposite may prove true today.

A relative's all or nothing attitude is sapping you of energy. It may be too much effort to try and meet all their demands. Putting some distance between you and this family member is strongly advised. Seek out friends who are ready to give as much as they take from you. Being around such people will remind you your tormentor's behaviour is neither normal nor acceptable. Blood ties shouldn't translate to misery.

You could find work that seems more like play today. Whether this position involves expressing your creative side or exercising your intellect is unimportant. The fact is, you love what you do and you're making plenty of money doing it! If you're stuck in a dead end situation, don't be afraid to venture into the unknown. Miracles can happen today, provided you keep your eyes and ears open for fresh opportunities.

While you may not have the resources to do something you enjoy, that shouldn't really matter today because your creativity is at an all time high. Working on a movie, book or painting makes you realise the source of your happiness is not financial. Rather, you find contentment in expressing yourself through artistic media. If you have been unsuccessful in conceiving or adopting a baby, you could get a marvellous surprise today.

You're tempted to push an authority figure into a decision they're not ready to make. And while it's gratifying to know you have such a tremendous amount of influence on this person, you need to remember your principles. The fact is, you won't have to answer for this ruling - your boss will. If you're looking to find a new home, search an unfamiliar area today. You could find the ideal place for very little money.

A friend could come to your rescue at the eleventh hour. If you're in a tight spot, don't hesitate to spread the word throughout your social circle. Everyone will sympathise with your plight and move to help. Neighbours and siblings can be especially kind today. An unexpected e-mail or phone call could turn your situation around in a matter of minutes. Keep checking your messages!

If you want a job or a raise, make your desires known. An authority figure who has been quietly observing your progress is ready to reward you for a job well done. In the event you are unemployed, this is the perfect day to send out a slew of CV's. Companies involved with broadcast media, electronics or medical research are especially worth pursuing. Alternatively, a new source of income could fall right into your lap.

A relationship could take a turn for the worse, but it's actually a blessing in disguise. That's because a totally unexpected opportunity could fall into your lap. And while this chance isn't what you were expecting, it will open some exciting new doors, especially in the way of travel, romance, and education. If you get the chance to study abroad, take it, even if it means putting an end to a troubled friendship.
