Overseeing someone's creative efforts is an enormous responsibility. Keep in mind that your words will have a tremendous effect on this person's ego. If a loved one's efforts are less than impressive, bite your tongue. Draw their attention to what is positive, and encourage them to develop these elements. You'll find the more praise you offer, the better their work will become. There will be plenty of future opportunities to offer constructive criticisms.

You've always been tender hearted, which prompts you to attend to everyone else's needs but your own. Now you're faced with the challenge of being good to yourself. Learning to put your requirements first will be a real struggle at first. It feels selfish to refuse other people's requests for help, but it is what you must do to maintain a healthy emotional balance. Promise to do one nice thing for yourself each day.

Today offers a wonderful opportunity to fill gaps in your knowledge. If you never mastered a particular subject in school, sign up for a class. Put your trust in a respected expert with a track record of success. This person's methods may not be flashy, but they are effective. There will probably be a good bit of donkey work involved, but don't let that deter you from your studies. Anything worth doing requires an element of sacrifice.

You're willing to see a job through to the end, even though you've reached what seems to be an impasse. By refusing to give up, this obstacle will eventually give way. Contrary to what you might think, money isn't the solution to this problem. Resist the urge to pay somebody else to perform this work. By putting your nose to the grindstone, you'll master a valuable skill and win public approval. Be sure to take a break when you get tired.

Everybody is looking to you for guidance, which feels more like a burden than a blessing. You'd rather play than work, but that's not possible now. By giving everybody an important job, you'll promote a sense of teamwork that makes even difficult tasks easy. Don't hesitate to reprimand somebody who is slacking off or everybody else will follow suit. There must be consequences for bad behaviour, and rewards for exceptional service.

Don't let anybody put a label on you. A multi-talented person like you shouldn't be restricted to one area. Trust your intuition when it comes to a career matter. Lots of people may be telling you that you're a natural for one field, whereas you feel a strong pull towards another. Follow your dream, even if everybody says you'll never succeed. Granted, this endeavour may not yield a high salary at first, but if you do what you love, the money will eventually follow.

Although you have great respect for tradition, it may be time to break away from a restrictive organisation. Creating an alternate way of doing things will be both challenging and rewarding. A former employer may see you as a threat. Ultimately, talent will win the day. Still, you should take extra precautions in following rules and regulations. The more scrupulous your behaviour, the easier it will be to win people over to your team.

You feel as though you're at the top of your game, and with good reason. An award or promotion could be coming your way. Be prepared to make a speech. Posing for pictures is another possibility. If you've been thinking of changing careers, this would be the perfect opportunity to do so. The entertainment business could be calling your name. Alternatively, you may decide to work with children or get involved with the gaming industry.

Pursuing a serious interest in history, religion, law, or education is essential. Don't let a dislike of formal schooling stop you getting the training you need. The fact is you need to subject yourself to an expert's guidance in order to learn something new. Console yourself with the knowledge that any instructor is bound to get on your nerves. Weigh up the options. Do you really want to stay unchallenged?

Before you undertake a project, do some detailed research. You may discover this job is more trouble than it's worth. Alternatively, you could find very exciting hidden dimensions to this project. Either way, you need to be prepared for what is ahead. Resist the urge to blackmail somebody who is engaging in underhanded activity. It's better to let this person know you don't approve of their actions, and are prepared to expose them if nothing changes.

Working with a partner is the best way to make progress with a difficult job. Although you prefer to take the independent route, that may create delays today. You need to draw upon the talents of someone who is warm, spontaneous, and creative. This person will generate the ideas, while you put creative twists on them. Resist the urge to put forth a perfect performance. It's better to be flawed but thought provoking than impeccable but sterile.

You're extraordinarily driven, even to the point of forgetting food and sleep. If you're not careful, you could burn out before you cross the finish line. Listen to a loved one who has your best interests at heart. By taking well timed breaks, you'll finish a job well before the deadline. It may be necessary to make a personal sacrifice for a romantic or business partner. Luckily, this will seem like a relatively minor issue in light of the ultimate goal.
