You can attain new creative heights through sheer willpower. If you reach a stumbling block, just soldier on as if it doesn't exist. Necessity is the mother of invention; you will come up with several inventive solutions to problems, just because you have no other choice. A flirtatious admirer could ask for a date. The two of you make a terrific couple. If you're already in a relationship, take this opportunity to express your devotion to your partner.

Religious or political differences are putting a crimp in your love life. The two of you have to find some common ground if you're going to move forward together. If you're single, you may want to look for a lover at a house of worship or club centred on your beliefs. Avoid controversial subjects at work, as you need to foster good relationships with your fellow workers. You can't get much work done if you're always fighting about inconsequential matters.

Beware of poking your nose in where it doesn't belong. You will make some unpleasant discoveries after looking through someone's private papers or listening to their voice mails. Sometimes it's better to let an air of mystery hang over a relationship than explore all of the unknown territory between you. Your love life will suffer if you come on too strong with a lover. The best way to get into their good books is to enquire after their thoughts, feelings and desires.

You won't get the love and understanding you've come to expect from a partner. Maybe it's because you're clinging too tightly to a set of childhood values. Now you are an adult, you need to adapt these beliefs to fit your current lifestyle. Just because your parents or culture espoused certain ideas doesn't mean you should. In fact, some of these attitudes have made it difficult to sustain a healthy love life. Discuss the problem with a counsellor if you're overwhelmed.

Your outgoing personality opens doors that were previously closed to you. Although you may not have a lot of experience in a particular subject, you could be accepted into an exclusive class. You'll have to work hard to keep up with your fellow students, but this will be a labour of love. Be ready to have some embarrassing failures along the way. You have to crawl before you can walk. Fortunately, you're very patient when your heart is invested in a project.

If you've been trying to launch a new business or enterprise your efforts could be thwarted by forces beyond your control. Shift your focus elsewhere. Spending time with friends can lift your spirits. A trim athlete could introduce you to a sport that engages imagination. Throwing yourself into a physically demanding activity has unexpected rewards. Suddenly you'll have energy for things that were once beyond your limit. Learning to paint, act or play music will put you on the path to romance.

The beautiful things you want to decorate your home are elusive. You simply don't have the money to buy the furniture and make the renovations you want. Instead of dwelling on your disappointment, put your creative talent to work. Make curtains and artwork with your own hands. Refurbish inexpensive furniture from a second hand shop. If you don't know how to proceed, borrow 'How To' books from the library. You're smart and inventive enough to create beauty on a budget.

Career prospects are improving, much to your evident relief. This is a great time to apply for a high profile position that has become available at an impressive company. Be sure to stress your ability to work independently while interviewing with your prospective employer. Your would be boss is looking for someone who isn't afraid to make executive decisions. Your confidence, along with your creative talent, should turn the tide in your favour. Keep your job search a secret until you get a formal offer.

Getting good value for your money is problematic now. It seems like everyone has artificially inflated their prices in the hope of making additional profits. If you want to buy a technical gadget, wait another few weeks. You'll see a marked drop in prices later this month. In the meantime, focus your efforts on expanding your intellectual horizons. Learning about a foreign country will inspire you to take a long distance trip. Pack your bags; a new adventure is right around the corner.

Vanity will get you nowhere. Instead of drawing attention to your own strengths, express appreciation for the people around you. This is especially important as far as your career is concerned. Taking the credit for an impressive project will attract some powerful enemies. Be sure to tell your boss who helped with this endeavour, and how their particular talents contributed to its success. Instead of getting singled out for praise it's better to have the whole team rewarded.

All is fair in love and war, at least as far as you're concerned! You're tired of having to battle for a lover's affections. Elbow the competition out of the way, for once and for all. You can do this by tapping into your romantic instincts. Treat your amour to a candlelit dinner for two. Give them tributes of flowers, candy and jewellery. Handwritten love notes can also have a wondrous effect. Such gestures may seem silly, but they will put you in the winner's circle.

Redouble your efforts at work; although your colleagues may not be pulling their weight, that doesn't mean you should neglect your responsibilities. Your boss will appreciate your conscientious behaviour, and will reward you with extra leave, a handsome bonus or tickets to an exclusive event. If you are unemployed, take this opportunity to step up your exercise routine. When you radiate good health, it will be easy to attract the job opportunities you desire.
