If you've been thinking about embarking on a new career path, begin today. Ignore conventional wisdom that says it is impossible to look for work over Christmas. Sending out your CV and making a few telephone enquiries should turn up several good offers. In the event you're happy with your current organisation, you should apply for a promotion or pay increase. Your star is on the rise. What a wonderful way to end 2003!

Venturing into foreign territory can result in delightful surprises. Normally, you're content to live and let live, but right now you can't help but wonder if you've fulfilled your potential. The answer is definitely no! Going on an extended journey or enrolling on a course will uncover some hidden talents. Don't bother studying a subject that seems dry and dull. Instead, pursue a topic that speaks to your love of beauty.

If your sex life has been less than stellar, get ready for a pleasant change. Your powers of seduction are stronger than ever. It feels wonderful to turn heads wherever you go. Be sure to add some alluring pieces to your wardrobe, and cast some flirtatious glances around while you're at it. An older, established person could capture your fancy. Leave those childish rebels behind; they're not worth your time.

Making new headway with an intimate relationship is favoured. Although you're a very giving partner, it's important to consider whether your partner really needs what you've been offering. Perhaps you need to encourage this person to take risks, instead of shielding them from danger. Maybe your friend needs a greater measure of independence, so they can test their wings. Be honest about the situation, and you'll both benefit.

Establishing healthy work habits boosts your productivity many times over. A luxury-loving person like you needs lots of leisure time to thrive. Consider, then, how you draw tasks out by engaging in various time-wasting duties. Surfing the Internet, gossiping with colleagues, and coming in late are scattering your energies. By becoming more efficient, you'll be able to leave work behind and focus fully on play.

If you've ever wanted to conceive a child, the next two weeks are ideal. If you're not ready for this responsibility, take added precautions. Alternately, you may feel inspired to begin a creative project of some sort. Treat this activity as a means to release stress, instead of a way to achieve fame. The more effortless your performance, the better it will be. A new romance could be blooming. Draw artistic inspiration from your partner.

Devoting more time and energy to your household proves fulfilling. A social butterfly like you sometimes has difficulty settling down. Before you set off for another party, however, consider your emotional landscape. Are you really ready to mix with a big group of people, or would you benefit more from a quiet night with your loved ones? Buy yourself a comfortable pair of pyjamas as incentive to settle in.

Making changes to your daily routine comes as a breath of fresh air. Sometimes, you get so focused on your goals you forget to be kind to yourself. Spending at least an hour a day on an activity you love will make your burdens seem lighter. An old friend could call you out of the blue. Take this as a sign that you should catch up on correspondence with other friends. Write some letters!

Finding new ways to make money eases your worried mind. Normally, you don't give much thought to material concerns. Recently, however, you're beginning to see how additional funds can take the stress off of work and relationships. Opening a small business from home may be a great way to earn extra cash. Alternately, you can take a second job that is directly related to a passionate interest.

Your charm factor will be at an all-time high over the next two weeks. Take advantage of this marvellous period by going on dates, applying for jobs, and showcasing your talent. You're sure to get a good reception wherever you go. While you're at it, you may want to get into the habit of pampering yourself more. Spending money on spa treatments isn't a waste, it's a way to reward yourself for all the hard work you do.

Taking more time for yourself helps you to withstand all the stress that's been swirling around you. True, it's fun to mix with friends and family. However, all this socialising has caused you to re-examine your direction in life. Are you spending time on the things that make life meaningful? When is the last time you did something nice for yourself? Are you happy with your current position? These questions are worth exploring.

Joining forces with supportive friends restores your natural optimism. Recently, you've assumed a heavy mantle of responsibility. This burden is beginning to ease, giving you more time to spend with loved ones. Arrange to go out with your favourite group this evening. Their love and affection will envelop you like a warm blanket. Have the courage to dust off an old dream; it's never too late to find your bliss.
