An overwhelming desire to heat up a romance causes you to take some drastic steps. Softening your approach could make the object of your affection more aware of your charms. Don't worry about looking like a wimp; it's utterly impossible for a Ram to appear anything but strong. Just let your vulnerability shine through that tough veneer of yours. Who can resist a lover who is both rugged and tender? Irresistible that's you.

You're willing to work hard to get the fame, recognition and status you deserve. Be aware that your peers may feel threatened by your attitude. A diligent worker like you sets higher standards for the rest of the group. At times like these you have to ask, 'What is more desirable achieving my goals or being popular?' Your driving ambition should make the answer obvious. Your true friends will stick by you, no matter what.

Your creative drive is more dynamic than ever, so it's vital that you find an artistic outlet. Getting the proper instruction can make a huge difference to your work. Alternately, you may decide to take a long trip as a means to nourish your imagination. A change of scenery can clear any mental cobwebs that have been restraining you from taking risks in your work. Starting a new project is a little like being reborn.

Angry emotions are bubbling to the surface, and it's utterly futile to suppress them. It's possible that somebody close to your heart has been misrepresenting themselves. By challenging this person to come clean, you could usher in a whole new phase of your relationship. The feelings you have for each other are very real, but you need to deal with each other honestly if your bond is going to be a healthy one.

Much as you hate to do it, you need to communicate uncomfortable feelings to somebody who is dear to you. When you love a person, it is with your whole being: mind, body and soul. However, this does not mean that their bad behaviour won't occasionally get under your skin. If you find yourself beginning to chafe under the strain of this relationship, you've got to come clean. Otherwise, resentment could tear you apart.

Your sense of self worth has always been derived from the service you perform for others. Today you have a marvellous opportunity to engage in work that has deep spiritual significance for you. Joining a volunteer organisation or pouring your energy into a charitable venture or project could be a tremendous boost to your ego. Don't fail to listen to your body, however. If you feel tired, hungry or stressed, take a well deserved break.

You're uncharacteristically aggressive, which comes as a delight to the people around you. It's not often that you're compelled to elbow aside the competition, but today's circumstances demand it. Getting the attention of someone special is going to take cunning, creative and courage. Fortunately, you have all three in great abundance. If you really want to impress this person, entertain them in high style with a gourmet dinner or cultural night out. Nobody does it better.

Your uncanny intuition is working overtime today, so be sure to heed its warnings. It's possible that someone from your past is pushing your buttons in a subtle but effective way. If your interactions with this person make you feel vaguely angry and frustrated, it's no accident. This is precisely the reaction they are trying to get from you. Grind their manipulations to a halt by calmly stating that you're aware of their Machiavellian techniques.

Joining forces with a big, energetic group can stimulate and inspire you. Don't be afraid to discuss wild, way-out ideas with your pals. These daydreams could develop into something far more poignant than you realise. Although you tend to underplay your creativity, you must admit that you like to expand your horizons. Give yourself the freedom to explore and develop your burgeoning artistic talent. Use your infectious sense of humour to win friends and influence people.

Making changes in your career or pubic persona feels imperative right now. You're determined to receive fair compensation for the life role you play. It may surprise others to know that you don't necessarily view money as the ultimate reward for work. Performing spiritually rewarding tasks may be more important to you at this juncture. Be very clear about exactly what you want from the powers-that-be. You just might get your wish.

Being plunged into completely unfamiliar surroundings can be a stimulating challenge. You've never been the type of person who prefers stability to adventure, anyway. Taking a trip, enrolling in a course of study, or learning about an international culture will add exciting new dimensions to your personality. You possess so many hidden talents; today is your chance to excavate some of them. Embrace new opportunities with open arms. Foreigners have an important role to play in your world right now.

Tapping into your subconscious has never seemed so essential; you're on the brink of a breakthrough. While it's true that you've often relied on your dreams as a source of creative inspiration, you may not be using these cues to deal with deep-seated fears. Review the themes of a recurring dream, and see how they may apply to problems in your waking life. The solution to these dilemmas may be buried in your night visions.
