Slowly but surely, your financial situation is improving. It may not seem like you're doing better, but you are. Every time you pay a bill or receive a cheque, say a prayer of gratitude. Pause to make a list of blessings you ordinarily ignore. When you focus on what you have, instead of worry over what you lack, your luck will increase. Attracting more abundance will be as easy as breathing. Stay positive and keep moving towards the light.

Go ahead and spend extra money on your appearance. A bang up to date, brand new image will work wonders for your morale. You'll feel confident walking into a meeting or going on a date. Best of all, you'll be inspired to treat yourself well in other areas of life. Instead of beating yourself up for small mistakes, you'll congratulate yourself for trying hard. Rather than dwelling on an insignificant gaffe, you'll give yourself credit for taking a risk.

Overwork and fatigue are weakening your performance. Instead of pushing yourself harder, take your foot off the gas pedal. The world will not end if you take a few days away from the office or let the housework fall by the wayside. Restore your equilibrium by having a very loose schedule. Baking Christmas cookies, decorating the tree or watching festive movies will cause your energy to come soaring back. When you think you're ready to get back in the race, do one more thing just for fun.

Coming to a friend's aid appeals to your humanitarian instincts. Whether you help them move or cook them some meals, you'll enjoy spreading positive energy. Even someone who is dealing with very serious problems will benefit from a kind gesture. Obey an instinct to send an encouraging note, share an inspiring book or run some simple errands. A cynical colleague will tease you for being a 'Do gooder'. Turn a deaf ear to these negative remarks. Kindness always trumps indifference.

Professional prospects aren't as good as you'd like. Don't panic. There is a season for everything. Right now, you should be focusing on day to day operations. Showing up on time, performing your work enthusiastically and building good relationships will eventually pay off. When you feel stalled, take up a creative project you can do after hours. It doesn't matter if you write stories, play music or create sketches. Your hobby will cultivate a powerful sense of accomplishment.

Be open to learning from others, no matter what their position in life. Teachers come in all forms. Just because an instructor is young doesn't mean they are inexperienced. Put your assumptions aside and learn whatever you can. It may come as a total surprise that you find lots of common ground with someone whose background is completely different from your own. This relationship will be a continual source of comfort and pleasure. Opening your mind will expand your social network.

If you long for physical intimacy, let yourself be emotionally vulnerable. Have a heart to heart discussion with your partner. Spend quality time with each other. Confess your hopes, dreams and fears. Enquire about your amour's concerns. When you connect on an intellectual level, sensual desire will return. Are you single? Beware of rushing into a physical relationship with someone you met recently. It's better to build trust slowly. If you're not interested in romance, splash out on a spa treatment.

Make a few adjustments to a close relationship. Either you or your partner is no longer able to perform particular jobs. Coming to each other's aid strengthens your bond. If you're overwhelmed with work, ask your other half to help out. If you know someone who needs a helping hand don't think twice about volunteering to be there for them. A busy colleague will appreciate your fielding a few calls. Always remember you are on the same team. When you join forces, you can move mountains.

This will be a productive time. When you finish a big project, turn your attention to small jobs that have been languishing. Clean up your work space, weed out your in box and return correspondence. You'll feel wonderfully virtuous after dispatching these jobs. Give yourself a reward for being so diligent. A trip to the bookstore, antique shop or gourmet grocery will be stimulating. Balancing work with play deepens your appreciation for the simpler pleasures in life.

It isn't necessary to spend a lot of money to have fun. Hosting an evening meal or card game will be lots of fun for everyone involved. If people come late or empty handed, don't worry. There will be plenty of food and festivities to keep the mood light. Don't feel pressured to clean your place from top to bottom, either. Nobody will judge you for cluttered countertops or piles of unfolded laundry. A clean eating surface and a comfortable seating arrangement is all that's necessary for a relaxing gathering.

There's work to be done on the domestic front. You should have a network of capable repair professionals at your fingertips. Take this opportunity to make repairs in one fell swoop. You'll breathe a sigh of relief when everything is back in working order. It may be necessary to stay at a friend's house while noisy or dangerous jobs are being performed. Make sure to give your host a token of your appreciation, like a delicious restaurant meal or generous gift certificate.

Minor things will go wrong. Treat technological breakdowns and traffic jams as blessings in disguise. Instead of giving in to frustration, turn your attention to a relaxing activity. Listening to an audiobook, adding decorative touches to your workspace or taking an extra-long lunch are great ways to combat stress. By the time you return to the business at hand, problems will have vanished into thin air. Sometimes the Universe conspires to give you a break. Enjoy it.
