Instead of insisting on doing things your own way, be receptive to suggestions. Working with someone who is calm, cool and collected will be instructive. You'll learn the value of cultivating peaceful energy. When confronted with hostility, don't react with anger. Take a page from your partners book. Breathe deep, think carefully and offer a muted response. This will quickly take the wind out of your rival's sails, allowing you to take the upper hand. Pour your aggression into physical activity.

You zip through chores like a hot knife through butter. Don't get drawn into emotional arguments. By sticking to the facts, you'll be able to reach goals you never thought possible. This is an especially good time to put your household in order. Repair a plumbing or electrical problem. Stock the pantry. Clear your bedroom of clutter. Creating a restful sleep area will restore your spiritual, emotional and physical energy. Once you have caught up on your rest, you can tackle more daunting jobs.

Taking better care of yourself means more than eating well and getting more exercise. Making time for leisure is also critical to your wellbeing. When is the last time you went to a concert, read a good book or walked through the park? Stop insisting you are too busy for fun. As soon as you stop obsessing over work, the more energetic you will feel. You'll start laughing again and people will become attracted to your upbeat energy.

Your family is a strong source of support. If you're struggling financially, accept a generous offer of help. Moving into a place for reduced rent or accepting a business loan will cause momentum to build. At long last, you'll be able to move out of a rut and into a place of achievement. Don't worry; you'll have a chance to return this favour sooner than you think. Pushing aside your pride will allow you to learn a valuable lesson about mercy.

Blasting through creative blocks will be a huge relief. You're tired of spinning your wheels. Following a strange impulse will pay off handsomely. When in doubt, just sit down and play with materials. Write what's on your mind; mix colours on a palette; sketch whatever is in front of you. Play a few random notes on a musical instrument or string some beads. It doesn't matter what medium you choose to express yourself. The important thing is to spend time on your favourite activity.

A financial shortage has kept you from pursuing a cherished dream. Push past your fears and take a gamble. Forming a business partnership will result in a much-needed cash infusion. The secret to your success is ordering a variety of goods to underserved members of the community. A growing cultural group will be so relieved to find the goods and services they want. Filling this gap in the market will pave the way for some strong personal and political alliances.

Instead of going with the flow, make some decisions about your personal life. You have a chance to realise a lofty goal, but it will take initiative on your part. Take a few moments to assess your options. Developing your creative ability, relocating to a stimulating area or embarking on a love affair are among the possibilities. Staying home and waiting for the phone to ring will be a waste of valuable energy. It's better to be the driver than a passenger on the ride of life.

Devote your energy to spiritual pursuits. The world won't fall apart if you take a break. If you feel guilty about neglecting your loved ones, look at this break as an opportunity for everyone to become more self-sufficient. Prayer, reflection and guided imagery will give you a greater understanding of what you truly need. If your lifestyle feels inauthentic, it's time to make some changes. Stop pretending to go along with the status quo, especially if it offends you.

Going to a party will be lots of fun. Recently, you've been working hard and feel depleted. Rubbing elbows with a variety of people will restore your zest for life. Someone will ask you to accompany them on a trip. Going on an all-expenses paid vacation is just what the doctor ordered. Do whatever is necessary to go on this adventure. You've done your duty; now it's time to enjoy a reward. Keeping your nose to the grindstone will be a game of diminishing returns.

Your career prospects are dramatically improving. A position you've always wanted will become available. Don't be discouraged if the salary is less than impressive. The perks of this job will make up for the lacklustre income. Being able to exercise your leadership ability will cause your confidence to soar. It will be so fulfilling to see people blossoming beneath your guidance and care. You know how to motivate individuals. Challenge arrogant members of staff and gently encourage timid types.

You'll get a chance to travel or study. Exploring greener pastures will be a relief. You're tired of carrying out a boring routine. If you've always wanted to get an advanced degree, now is a good time to apply to university. You will qualify for a generous scholarship. Don't be daunted by a complicated application form. By taking the time to fill out this paperwork, you'll be able to focus on academics instead of finances. Are you single? You will meet someone special in the classroom.

An intimate relationship is a profound source of strength. Whenever your courage starts to falter, turn to your loving partner or best friend. They'll give you the encouragement you need to face an imposing challenge. Paying off a debt, fulfilling an obligation or conquering a demon won't be easy. By taking the first step towards your goal, your confidence will build. The obstacles that once blocked your path will give way, allowing you to make progress in an area that's been stagnant for months.
