It's up to you to motivate your best friend or lover. Lately, they've experienced a series of disappointments that have caused them to lose hope. Take this opportunity to cheer them up and urge them across the finish line. If your loved one fails to finish this job, they'll regret it for the rest of their life. There won't be much money for luxuries. Keep to a strict budget until the cash starts flowing more easily again. It's just a matter of time.

You're bursting with energy. This is a great time to put your house in order. Stock the pantry, prepare some meals for the week ahead and tidy up. Orderly surroundings make it easier to perform the most difficult jobs. Your best friend or romantic partner isn't particularly helpful. They want you to abandon chores and focus all your attention on them. In truth, you feel it's a relief to take a break from your relationship. Be prepared to maintain some healthy boundaries.

An intense flirtation fills you with excitement. It's nice to know your charms are still potent. If you're in a serious relationship, let your amour do something special for you. You'd never admit it, but you secretly love being pampered. You may not get a job you wanted. Try not to be too disappointed. This search is a means for you to find a position that is perfect for you. While you wait, fill your time with creative pursuits that keep your spirits high.

It's time to make changes to your household routine. The old way isn't serving your current needs. Rearranging the rooms, clearing clutter and switching chores are among the possibilities. If you've always wanted to work from home, you should create an office space. It isn't healthy to combine your personal and professional spaces. If you have to install a door, lock or window, so be it. Don't make romantic overtures towards an old friend. It's better to maintain the status quo.

Launching a research, writing or design project will be a good use of your creative talent. You're tired of going from home to work and back again. You need an intellectually stimulating activity to stay engaged with life. A relative will try to discourage you from branching out. They have a vested interest in you keeping the old routine. Unfortunately, this regime is making you miserable. Fulfil your needs, even if it means disappointing others. You'll never be able to please everyone all the time.

A business venture will put extra money in your pocket. You'll work well from behind the scenes. Let a gregarious Gemini or Sagittarius deal with the public. Keeping meticulous records will help you increase sales and decrease overhead costs. Within the year, you could have a very profitable enterprise. Resist the urge to vent your frustration at an older person who simply refuses to move with the times. When left to their own devices, they'll become more acceptable to a technological innovation.

You will pull ahead of the competition. It's important to put your skills on display. Whether this means entering a contest, going on an audition or showing your work to a respected professional is immaterial. The important thing is to garner attention. Winning a prize or landing a job will be a handsome reward for the risks you'll take. If money is tight don't buy anything except absolute necessities. Yielding to temptation will be cause for regret when an emergency expense arises.

Working behind the scenes will greatly enhance your career. Your employer appreciates the low key way in which you perform your duties. If you continue to do a good job, a promotion will come. It will help if you adopt a positive outlook. Although you've experienced some disappointments in the past, that doesn't mean your bad luck will continue. The more hopeful you are about the future, the easier it will be to detect opportunities normally hidden from view.

Friends encourage you to move forward with a stalled project. Your energy is flagging but their enthusiasm will give you the extra push you need. If you give up now, you won't get a similar opportunity for quite some time. Take advantage of the possibilities before you, even if they do seem rather bleak. By refusing to get discouraged, you'll push past whatever obstacles have paralysed you. Stop listening to your inner critic, which would prefer: you never tried, or to try anything new.

You are competing for a high profile position. The job in question has interesting fringe benefits. It will also boost your status on the professional front. A cautious friend isn't being very supportive. Secretly, they are jealous of all you have accomplished. Take their discouraging remarks with a pinch of salt. If you're unemployed, you should apply for a position that seems slightly beyond reach. With a little luck and a lot of diligence, you could land this job in record time.

You face stiff competition while applying for a position in an exclusive club or professional organisation. It can't hurt to get an influential friend to write a letter of recommendation for you. Prospects for advancement in your existing job aren't very bright. By getting involved with a group devoted to your interests, you can find your dream career. Never underestimate the power of social contacts in finding work. Very often, whom you know is more important than what you know.

It's time to tackle a matter involving joint finances or accounting. Putting off this task will only make a small problem get worse. If you're out of your depth, ask a colleague who is good with figures for help. You can return the favour by relieving them of some their dreaded chores. It may be necessary to postpone a business trip. Try not to let this get you down. Focus on all the little jobs that have recently slipped through the cracks.
