Having a secret delight improves your performance in the workplace. Going home and enjoying a hobby or sport makes you more creative in other areas. It's important not to share this side of yourself with the rest of the world or you could fall victim to insensitive criticisms. Everybody needs to have something they do for the sheer joy of it. Keeping such an activity private only adds to its pleasure. Business ventures related to property and household goods are favoured now.

Submerging yourself in a large group of people gives you added courage. Friends may be astonished when you pull off a stellar performance at the karaoke bar or make an impromptu speech. It feels good to break out of your shell. Don't be surprised if someone with a sexy accent expresses interest in you. Your impulsive behaviour is a powerful lure. If you're already in a relationship, think about taking a glamorous trip with your amour.

Standing apart from the crowd is the best way to get noticed. Granted, some people will think you're being a terrible show off, but most will admire your bravado. Going public with a deep, dark secret could end up working in your favour. An authority figure is impressed by your courage, and may even ask you for a date. If you're already involved with someone special, think about making a grand gesture on your partner's behalf.

You could be asked to take a last minute trip on behalf of your employer. Alternatively, you may have to go overseas to accommodate a business or romantic partner. Whatever the reason for this trip, it will afford you an extra measure of freedom. It feels wonderfully liberating to go to a place where very few people know you. Go ahead and experiment with different personas while you're away. You could discover you're an extrovert when you've been labelled differently.

You're able to be objective regarding a sudden change to your work environment. While everybody else is panicking over this cloud, you're busy looking for its silver lining. It could come in the form of a handsome buyout package or severance pay. Use this money to do something crazy you've always longed to do, but were afraid to try in the interests of security. Now the future is up in the air, you can afford to take a risk or two.

A business or romantic partner is ready to grant you a greater measure of freedom, so what are you waiting for? This could be your big chance to go to an artists' colony, take a solitary trip, or hire a babysitter. Your artistic side is crying out for expression, and you can't afford to ignore its call. Writing a book, finishing a series of paintings, or shooting a film could be on the cards for you. Funding will come after you take the first step.

The chance to master a new piece of technology makes you free to pursue another job. Working from home could be a wonderful way to escape some of the problems that have been a thorn in your side for many a month. It will be a welcome relief to avoid office politics and energy sapping commutes. If you'd rather work in an office, you may be able to create a homelike office environment. The more comfortable your surroundings, the more productive you will be.

A child may be drawn to your irreverent behaviour and they appreciate the fact you don't try to fit in with the crowd. While it's gratifying to be admired, you need to maintain some basic boundaries. Always remember you are the adult in this relationship. That means setting a good example; don't say one thing and then do another. If your friend's hero worship turns to romantic interest, you need to gently steer their attention elsewhere.

Changes continue to occur to your home front, but today's alterations will be pleasant ones. This is a good time to buy an expensive piece of technology to make tasks much easier. Be sure to do some research before heading to the shops; that way, you can make an informed decision. This is also a good time to shop for better phone or television deals. You could cut your bills in half by making a few quick inquiries.

Taking a more scenic route to work could have a profound impact on the way you think. Don't underestimate the power of beauty on your psyche. If you're unemployed or work from home, try to work a pleasant activity into your daily routine. Taking a jog through the park or a walk through a garden will make you more hopeful, joyous, and open minded. People will notice the change, and ask if you've lost weight or found a new love.

An unexpected windfall gives you a chance to become more independent. Working from the privacy of your own home will come as a welcome relief. You enjoy experimenting with odd techniques, and will be able to do this without fear of reprisal. Alternatively, you may decide to spend the cash on a welcome break. You may be especially drawn to a scenic mountain range. It feels great to go up high, where the air is clear and the views are expansive.

Friends could encourage you to change your look, and why not? If you don't like the results, you can always go back. Happily, you'll probably adore the 'new you,' and may feel prompted to take risks in other areas. Getting involved with a charitable organisation could prompt you to switch jobs or industries. More and more, you realise you need to be doing something spiritually meaningful. Finding good homes for stray animals may be a perfect fit for you.
