You're determined to move forward with a fitness plan, but take care you don't set yourself up for failure. Slow and steady wins the race. That's not the easiest edict for you to follow, thanks to your impatient nature. You will find it's much easier to sustain your fitness program if you set slow, manageable goals for yourself. You won't get toned overnight, but you will achieve an impressive weight loss within a few short weeks.

Sparks are flying between you and a loved one, but beware of joining financial accounts just now. You need to make an official commitment before taking such a big step or your assets won't be protected. If you don't care about the practical problems this arrangement could pose, consider the emotional ones. The two of you may have very different attitudes about saving and spending. Until you iron out these differences, they will spark lots of arguments.

You're eager to find employment, but a preoccupation with this job search could take a toll on your personal life. As far as you're concerned, your entire life depends on finding a good position. A close friend or lover has other concerns, though. Be sure to enquire after their wellbeing, or you'll seem callous and selfish. Offer to take a burdensome chore off their shoulders. This kind gesture will go a long way towards cementing your friendship.

Your creative juices are flowing like a mighty river. Naturally, you're reluctant to stop working while inspiration is near. Unfortunately, you have some mundane chores to attend. Neglecting these duties will cause problems for a female authority figure. You can't afford to make an enemy of this woman. Fulfil your obligations to her first, and then move on to your own work. It is a big sacrifice but you have to pay the bills.

Home repairs are going smoothly and it feels good to get everything in working order again. Unfortunately, you might get stuck at home waiting for a plumber or electrician when you could be outside, having fun. Try not to dwell on your disappointment, roll up your sleeves and get on with it. Now you have a chance to get the job finished, you can't walk away. Console yourself by ordering in some of your favourite food and watching an old movie.

You're finally able to catch up with your correspondence, which is a load off your mind. You've been meaning to contact an old friend or business associate for weeks. They will be thrilled to hear from you, and may propose a meeting quite soon. Check your calendar before agreeing. There may be a family gathering requiring your attendance. Going to a child's dance recital or relative's birthday party may not seem important to you, but it is to the guest of honour.

Hard work yields impressive profits, but unfortunately your money is going out as quickly as it comes in. Resist the lure of Internet shopping. Yes, there are plenty of tempting items out there, but you need to conserve your resources for bigger and better things. Dealings with a sibling or neighbour feel slightly manipulative. You need to put your foot down, or they will continue to infringe on your time, money, and space.

You're eager to make a move on someone sexy, but now isn't the best time. You've got to wine and dine them before making your move. Even if you've been with your amour for years, it's important to court your partner. Resist the urge to buy into their affections with expensive baubles. What they really want is kind gestures, sweet compliments, and thoughtful favours. Quitting a bad habit is one of the best ways to get into someone's good books.

Working on your own is gratifying, but you may have to hide your efforts from the powers that be. They may not think well of your efforts. In fact, they could punish you for devoting time to personal projects while you should be focusing on their assignments. If you're trying to get in shape, don't talk about your plans with friends or their scrutiny could discourage you. You'll fare much better if you keep your goals to yourself.

Spending time with friends is stimulating, but beware of having their opinions rub off on you. You've got to maintain your individuality, even at the risk of offending the group. A popular plan doesn't sit well with you. Stick to your beliefs. This will make you unpopular at first, but in a few months, people will wish they had followed your example. It's especially important to avoid demonstrations. A peaceful gathering could become violent with very little provocation.

Clawing your way to the top could have an unfortunate effect on a friendship. Don't step on people as you climb the ladder of success, as you will need them sooner than you think. Besides, friendship has always been integral to your happiness. What good would it do to have fame and fortune if you have nobody to share it with? A woman who has important contacts in your desired industry can help you, but only if you ask politely.

You long to expand your horizons, but career matters are holding you hostage. Getting time off will be something of a struggle, as this appears to be your busy season. Alternatively, you may not be able to get the job you want because you lack the educational background for such work. It feels like your hands are tied. That may be true right now, but it won't always be the case. Keep your eyes open for a job where you have to travel and use your own initiative.
