It's hard to know whether your efforts are being appreciated. Working behind the scenes is difficult, because you never see people enjoying the fruits of your labour. Take comfort in the knowledge that your performance is being celebrated by powerful people. If you continue to stay focused and do your best, you'll be given a fabulous bonus. Treat yourself well while you're working in an administrative capacity. People who serve others have to be kind and gentle towards themselves.

You're intensely focused on your goals, which virtually guarantees your success. As someone who has never been afraid of hard work, you've accomplished a tremendous amount of work. Many people chalk up your victories to dumb luck, but that's not true. You're always trying to go further and higher, but you never draw attention to these efforts. By continuing to be this diligent, you'll realise a dream you've had since childhood. Treat yourself for sticking with the project.

Someone will try to challenge your authority. This is a bad mistake. Although you have a reputation for being relaxed and friendly, your attitude will change when faced with aggression. A rival who thinks they can grab a plum assignment away from you will be surprised. You have no intention of yielding this position to a greedy individual who isn't willing to work hard to get ahead. Are you unemployed? You can land an impressive position, as long as you are willing to enthusiastically promote your accomplishments.

You will get into a war of words with someone who thinks they know more than you. Although you dislike confrontation, it's important to defend your position. You don't have to be aggressive or hostile while making your arguments. By staying cool, calm and collected, you'll win public support. If other people decide to follow your competitor's advice, don't take it personally. They'll soon realise the error of their ways and beg for your forgiveness. At that point, you'll be able to explore other options.

Expressing your desire for someone will be liberating. You're tired of putting a lid on your emotions. The object of your affection will be delighted by your confession. They have felt the same way for a long time. Once you lay your cards on the table, things will move quickly. Resist the temptation to get seriously involved before getting to know each other. The longer the courtship phase lasts, the stronger your bond will be. Learning how to be a couple takes time.

Taking work off your partner's plate will deepen your commitment to each other. Your best friend, romantic partner or business partner is overwhelmed. By running a few time consuming errands on their behalf, you'll make their life much easier. You've always had a knack for anticipating people's needs. That's why you have so many long lasting relationships. People know they can rely on you. Before springing up to do another chore, do something kind for yourself. Book a trip to a nearby city.

You'll have to fight to get better assignments at work. That's not easy for an agreeable person like you. Until you stand up for yourself, people who are less talented will continue to surpass you. Schedule a meeting with your employer and describe the kind of work you'd like to be doing. Give examples of past accomplishments and explain your value to the company. If they give you lame excuses about why it's not time for you to advance, issue an ultimatum. It's time to get tough.

Taking a bold gamble will pay off. Friends and family will urge you to play it safe. Don't do it. Unless you show how much you're willing to risk, people won't take you seriously. Seize this opportunity to confess a crush, submit creative work for review or launch a business. Your success will quickly snowball. Even wearing a daring outfit will yield impressive results. You've always enjoyed courting danger. Go ahead and satisfy this hunger. You always perform best when the stakes are high.

This is an opportune time to do work around the house. Getting things repaired will cause you to breathe a sigh of relief. There's nothing worse than dreading a big job. Once the problem is addressed, daily life will become much easier. It will be necessary to live on a tight budget to accommodate the cost of this work, but that's better than struggling with faulty plumbing or electricity. Are you renting a shabby place? You can find something much better for just a little more money.

The direct approach is best when dealing with someone who is being abusive. It doesn't matter whether this bully is picking on you or somebody else. You're the only one courageous enough to put an end to this abusive cycle. Be calm and clear about how their behaviour is unacceptable. At first, this tormentor will try to underplay their actions. Don't allow them to make excuses for being cruel or insensitive. Explain you won't tolerate any further nonsense. When they realise you are serious, this joker will quickly back down.

You have impressive skills and should be paid accordingly. If your boss won't give you a raise, look elsewhere for employment. Are you unemployed? Acquire some valuable skills in a rapidly growing field. This will allow you to take your pick of several lucrative positions. You've always had your finger on the pulse of popular culture. Use these perceptions to increase your income. While everybody else is following conventional wisdom, you'll be blazing a trail in a highly paid field.

Entering into a competition brings out the best in you. You're highly confident about your creative skills. Submitting your best work will bring success. Someone who underestimated your abilities will come forward and praise your work. Be gracious about accepting these compliments. In the past, you were modest about promoting your work. That should change. You have every right to be proud of your accomplishments. Display a certificate or trophy in a prominent place where all can see it.
