Taking a gamble is highly favoured, especially where real estate ventures are concerned. You may even decide to start a home based business. Luck is on your side, provided you launch your venture today. A friend could come to the rescue with funds at the last possible minute. Accept the help that's offered - you won't get another chance like this!

Feel free to think about your own needs ahead of everybody else's; you're too thoughtful for your own good. Surprising news on the job front presents you with an opportunity that was unimaginable a few months ago. Don't waste any time weighing the pros against the cons. This is a situation that calls upon gut instinct.

A flash of intuition could lead to a financial opportunity that involves extensive travel. You get lots of inspiration from exploring different cultures. Do yourself a favour and take up a foreign language - it could help you immensely, especially when it comes to buying items that you can later sell back at home.

Someone close is in a position to advance your social status, which makes you excited about the future. Resist the urge to charge a bunch of items to your credit card. The financing you need will become available quite unexpectedly. In the meantime, you don't want to indebt yourself to an institution that charges outrageous interest rates.

Don't let your love of the spotlight prompt you to pass up a chance to work behind the scenes. Today, your best opportunities lie in areas that are less publicly oriented.

Health matters require your attention now, as your energy has been unusually low. Part of the reason for this lethargy is that you haven't been intellectually stimulated.

If you need more help at work, now is the time to push for an assistant - be a little more aggressive than usual. Your diplomacy won't serve you now; not when money is in such short supply.

Going on an extended trip with the one you love may be just what the doctor ordered. Disruptions at home are getting too much to bear.

A sudden burst of energy allows you to finish up tasks that have been darkening your doorstep for weeks. Words of encouragement from a friend are just icing on the cake.

Trust your instincts, especially when it comes to romance - Cupid is aiming his arrow straight at you. Resist the urge to tuck a tidy sum of money into savings. You're entitled to a full-fledged splurge. Buy yourself an attractive piece of jewellery that you've had your eye on, or a smart leather bag. Get something classic that will be perennially fashionable.

Breaking away from the pack has never felt so satisfying - you're tired of agreeing with idiots. Working on a creative project in the privacy of your own home has tremendous rewards. You're tired of explaining your work to folks with no imagination. Don't worry. There is an audience for your work - it will just take time to build it.

You're a little more anxious than usual about money - it's hard to feel secure when your income is uncertain. Perhaps it's time to branch out in different areas. Someone with your diverse interests needs to do a variety of work in order to be happy. Look through the want ads to see what kinds of opportunities are out there for creative people.
