You need to keep your feet planted firmly on the ground, especially where work is concerned. Don't let a seductive colleague lure you away from an important project.

A more traditional approach is needed here. Sometimes less is more. This is one of those times.

Put career matters on a back burner while you focus on an intimate relationship. Take the day off and spend a romantic day with your partner. At first, it will feel like the two of you are just going through the motions. Eventually, though, you'll start to relax and enjoy yourselves. Go out for a leisurely lunch. Take a walk through the park. Watch a sentimental movie together. Unless you make time for these special moments, you'll lose sight of each other.

High ideals won't get you very far today; you've got to adopt a more practical approach. It's more important to finish chores than tackle a new project. Shop for groceries, throw in a load of laundry, and tidy the house. It's hard enough venturing into new territory. Doing it while surrounded by chaos is even harder. Curb your enthusiasm and get organised. Slowing down is hard work for a speed demon like you, but it's a valuable skill to learn.

If you're interested in pursuing a romance with somebody, take the time to know them. Enquire after their interests, habits, and tastes.

Unrealistic attitudes towards money could undermine a relationship. The two of you need to sit down together and create a budget that works. You have a tendency to spend money on clothing and furniture, while your partner may prefer electronic gadgets. There needs to be a middle ground here. Setting a weekly savings goal will help you live within your means. The two of you will fight less when you know you have a nice little nest egg to fall back on.

Don't delude yourself with regard to your health. If you're going to feel better, you need to eat nutritious food, get plenty of sleep, and exercise on a regular basis or you'll continue to suffer from the aches and pains that are driving you crazy. When you treat your body with respect, others will follow suit. Create a challenging and attainable fitness routine. You'll see impressive results by this time next month.

You'll accomplish much more if you isolate yourself from the group. Switch your phone to voice mail and don't get sucked into gossipy conversations around the water cooler.

Turn a deaf ear to their pleas. The two of you can enjoy some quality time together this weekend.

An older person can provide valuable insight to a troubling family situation. A relative may accuse you of harbouring resentments you don't possess.

Tempers are running high. If there's anything you can't stand, it's being charged with a crime you didn't commit.

You have a wonderful opportunity to make a name for yourself in your desired industry. If you're going on a job interview, keep it a secret from your colleagues or word could leak out and you will be in jeopardy of getting fired from your present position.

Check out your options, you may be surprised at how much money you can make.

Forming a close bond with a lover or business partner is easier than you think. It's all about letting down your defences. Despite what you might think, your nearest and dearest don't buy the super cool image you've carefully constructed. They know there is just a big marshmallow underneath all of the smooth sophistication. So stop trying to hide your feelings and start being honest. If you've been harbouring a crush on someone, it's time to come clean.

Honouring an agreement will win you newfound respect. Although you may have to spend more money than you expected, it's better to keep your promise than leave a client high and dry. Pay no attention to the nagging inner voice saying your actions will result in bankruptcy. The truth is you always reap more rewards by obeying your generous instincts. It's a trend which angers and confounds your rivals. That should be reason enough to obey your impulses.
