Give a child the love and affection you weren't able to get at their age; it will make all the difference to the relationship. You're starting to see that discipline isn't the chief task of a role model. Your most important job is to develop their confidence so be lavish with the praise, hugs, and encouragement.

Investing in land or property is a good way to ensure your long-term financial security. If you don't know anything about the subject, find out as much as you can. The more knowledge you acquire, the more your income will expand. Remain patient though and don't push the pace. Long term security needs a gradual process.

Delays crop up wherever you turn today; keep your expectations as low as possible. You have a particularly difficult time communicating with others, it's possible they are wilfully misunderstanding you to test your loyalty. If you hang in there, you'll eventually gain their trust and enjoy their respect.

Careful planning is all that's required for you to meet your financial goals, but you have to start laying down foundations now. Stop telling yourself you'll never own the dream home you've dreamed about. Anything is possible if you put your mind to it. Cut out those impulse purchases. They're undermining your greater aims and wishes.

Friends are willing to stand by you, regardless of the decisions you make about your personal life. It's time to go public with a serious decision. Until you do, it will feel as though you're living a lie. Yes, your pals will be taken aback by your announcement, but they are happy you are putting the past behind you at last.

You must take responsibility for your own affairs, even if it means facing unpleasant truths. By salting a little cash away into your savings, you won't have to rely on others later on in life. You'll feel as though a weight has been lifted off your shoulders once those black coloured statements put you in credit.

Relish some time alone so you can work out a problem; other people's views or advice will only distract you. Some matters cannot be decided by a majority vote, no matter how much you'd like it to take the dilemma away from you. We all have to make some unpleasant decisions at certain critical times in our lives so don't pass the buck.

You finally appreciate that you've got what it takes to be a success. The question is, are you willing to take some financial risks? Security is highly overrated. When you follow your heart, you are fulfilling your destiny. Turn a deaf ear to despondent wet blankets; they'll never get anywhere. Positive thought brings positive results.

A partner's evasive answers are making you nervous, but there's really no need to panic. By putting your faith in your other half, you'll be in for a wonderful surprise or two. If you're not involved with someone special, try to be less guarded with others. People sense your unwillingness to get close and back off much to your chagrin.

A cash windfall gives you the wherewithal to spend more than usual, so let your imagination run riot. Your family's desires may be a little conservative, even for you, so take a chance on your fancies. Stimulating surroundings will nourish your creativity so consult a stylish friend for advice on colours, fabric and furniture.

Lucky stars abound if you're single; for instance a long-standing friendship could suddenly flower into a romance. Your other pals may be shocked by this relationship, but it seems a natural progression to you both. If you're already involved with someone, do something spontaneous to keep the passion pulsing.

Changing your career is a scary business, but it's worth considering. In this day and age, it's much easier to shift gears. Keep that in mind as you job hunt. In fact, the more varied your experience, the greater value you'll have as a worker. Just be sure to look for a position that involves creative opportunity.
