Discovering a hidden talent is empowering. You've always had a good handle on your strengths and weaknesses. Now it's clear you have some additional gifts at your disposal. Whether you have started to write, paint or build furniture is immaterial. The important thing is to fuel this passion. Cutting back personal and professional responsibilities is perfectly fine. You've been holding down the fort for a long time. Other loved ones and colleagues can pick up the slack. Take time to rest and relax.

Working with a team will energise you. It's important to be surrounded by positive people who don't let practical problems stand in their way. You have a tendency to throw in the towel when there aren't enough money and resources available to carry on. With the help of some ingenious associates, you'll be able to spin straw into gold. This will be an invaluable lesson. The next time you encounter constraints, think about ways to use recycled or donated materials.

Slowly but surely, you're recovering from a serious disappointment. Your grace and dignity have paved the way for a happier future. A creative opportunity that doesn't pay very well is worth taking. You'll welcome a chance to express your imagination in new, exciting ways. Once the public sees how talented you are, more offers will pour in. You'll have an opportunity to pick and choose your assignments. It's even possible you'll be able to quit your day job.

Be sure to attend a party. You'll have a wonderful time rubbing elbows with people from different walks of life. Are you looking for love? It will be difficult to resist the charms of an irreverent joker. Beware of losing your heart to this witty individual. Although you both have great senses of humour, you're looking for a serious commitment while all they want is to have fun. You may fare better with a shy person who has been admiring you from afar.

Changing direction will pay off. It isn't healthy for you to tread water for too long. Although you've created a comfortable niche for yourself, it's become suffocating. Take this opportunity to try a new sport or hobby. Don't worry about looking foolish during the first few attempts. Even experts appeared awkward in the initial stages. Your adventurous attitude will attract romantic interest. If you're single, take this opportunity to embark on a relationship with a well travelled adventurer.

An exciting idea has taken root. Cultivate this concept carefully. Don't expose it to harsh criticism or obsessive thought. Instead, spend a little time each day developing it. This could mean writing a proposal, undergoing various tests or experimenting with different applications. Slow and steady wins the race. You won't have as much time for routine work, but that shouldn't be a problem. Normally, you are twice as productive as everyone else. It's time a relative or colleague picked up the slack.

A romantic interest will invite you to dinner and a show. Be sure to accept; this will be a night to remember. Recently, your busy schedule has made it difficult to enjoy the things you love. Good food and convivial company will put you back in touch with your playful side. Don't feel pressured to give anything but a pleasant 'thank you' in exchange for this outing. There are no strings attached to this offer. If you want an intimate encounter, that's also up to you.

Make an honest assessment of your strengths and weaknesses. You may not be cut out for a particular job, but that doesn't mean you are worthless. On the contrary, you could fare very well in a glamorous industry. Although you're a private person, you have a profound appreciation for beauty and luxury. Working for a company that specialises in entertainment, luxury goods or cosmetics will bring out the best in you. You'll achieve heights that would be impossible in a conventional field.

People are receptive to your particular brand of genius. Showcasing your creative work, making a bold proposal and pursuing a romantic interest are all favoured. Stay confident if you're turned away. Your upbeat attitude will make a good impression, paving the way for a second chance. Every action you take will lead to another, which is why it's important to get started on the right foot. Don't get deterred by a pessimistic pal who thinks your efforts are doomed to fail.

You've always been confident about your leadership ability. Now it's time to develop your creative side. Stop telling yourself you aren't artistic. Nothing could be further from the truth. By learning to trust your instincts, you can create works of lasting beauty. Making furniture, jewellery or clothes appeals to your practical side. This will be a welcome opportunity to express your whimsical impulses. Loved ones will be delighted with your wild vision. There's more to you than meets the eye.

A new friendship makes you excited about the future. It's a relief to be able to discuss one of your favourite subjects with a fellow expert. You may decide to take a pilgrimage to a place that is special to fellow enthusiasts. Don't expect outsiders to understand this obsession. As far as they're concerned, you're wasting valuable time on a silly idea. While they are scoffing, you are having the time of your life. Best of all, now you have someone to share your pleasure.

You will be asked to use your talents to help the community. Although the prospect of working for free doesn't excite you, it won't hurt to get involved with this philanthropic endeavour. When a prominent executive sees what a fantastic job you've done, you will be offered a paid position. Don't be afraid to make a counter offer. Once you've established yourself as an impressive worker, you will have the right to ask for the highest end of the salary range.
