Planning a family reunion will be lots of fun, but it will also require skills you don't have. Ask a highly organised Virgo for help with making reservations and tracking down addresses. You'll be happy to arrange the decorations, music and food. Together, you will set the stage for an entertaining gathering. Your partner's painstaking ways will get on your nerves from time to time, but watch your temper. Show appreciation for all their hard work and tenacity. Thanks to them, your job will be easy.

Acquiring a marketable skill will improve your job prospects. Even if you enjoy your current position, it can't hurt to expand your knowledge. Studying with a compassionate teacher will be stimulating. You never know what you can do until you try. Give yourself a chance to master difficult concepts. You're not a fast learner, but when you do learn something you never forget it. It sounds corny, but practice makes perfect. The more time you devote to your studies, the more proficient you'll be.

Recently, you've been consumed with restless energy. You've been moving from pillar to post with great agility. Now you're tired of being in motion all the time. Take this opportunity to rest and relax. If you have to take a day off work, so be it. Soaking in a scented bath or taking a nap will be therapeutic. You might also want to practice your culinary skills. Making a pot of soup or loaf of bread will fill your home with a marvellous fragrance.

Have faith in yourself. You can land an exciting job if you put your mind to it. Spruce up your CV, gather a list of references and put together a portfolio of work samples. Do research into the company before going on an interview. Above all, promote your skills. Humility has no place in a job search. Practice your interviewing skills with somebody who has lots of experience hiring staff. Your friend will have excellent suggestions for making a good impression.

There's nothing wrong with wanting to escape to Fantasy Land. You're a tremendously creative person whose sensibilities are dulled by boring routines. Venture into unfamiliar territory, whether it's going on an exotic trip, taking up a sport or learning how to play the guitar. Don't worry about appearing like a fish out of water. When you're not sure how to proceed, ask for help. You'll meet someone interesting this way. Exploring the road not yet taken will pay off handsomely.

Your idealism inspires everyone around you. This is a great time to launch a group project. Your conscientious approach to assigning duties will lead to success. Everyone can count on you to give jobs to the right people. Some friends may be hurt by your refusal to give them the plum positions, but stay calm. If you stand by your decisions, your role as leader will remain secure. You're bound to encounter opposition from time to time, but that's just part of the job.

This is a good time to make some career plans. If you're not happy with your current job prospects, think about switching fields. You might want to add to your qualifications and acquire some advanced skills. Having a license or certificate will help land a steady position that pays well. If you're thinking about launching your own business, talk to people who have experience in your desired field. Their advice will help you save time, money and aggravation. Never underestimate the importance of careful research.

Don't take yourself too seriously. If someone makes a joke at your expense, laugh. There's nothing more impressive than someone who admits their shortcomings. You can be incredibly intimidating, which is why you have become a target for people's humour. Take this as a compliment. It would be much worse if you fell off the public's radar. You can be accused of a lot of things, but nobody would ever call you boring. Live passionately, but be willing to laugh at yourself, too.

You've always been open to new experiences. That's especially true now, when you have a chance to do a research project that is close to your heart. You will uncover some important information that changes the way you view an event or person. Stay calm. Developing a more nuanced outlook will lead to emotional growth. Instead of jumping to conclusions, you'll be more prone to watch, wait and listen for more information. You'll also be more appreciative of quiet, understated people.

Your powers of persuasion are very strong. This is a great time to ask for a favour, discount or loan. If you're overwhelmed with work, your best friend or romantic partner will be eager to take some chores off your hands. You've always taken great pride in your capacity for hard work. There's no shame in getting assistance when you need it. Swallow your pride and reach out. Your relationships will become much healthier when you become more receptive.

This is a good time to make improvements to a first draft. You have a fine eye for detail. Use it to correct errors and lacklustre elements. Someone who is waiting for the finished project will be impatient. Turn a deaf ear to their nagging requests. By maintaining a steady focus, you'll be able to transform a good submission into a great one. When your eyes get tired, take yourself off for a walk. Strolling through a park or garden will revive you.

Put work on the back burner for a wee while. Developing a creative project brings out your playful side. Follow your instincts and add a whimsical touch to some writing or music. If you're working on a visual piece, experiment with daring colour combinations. Your work won't resemble anyone else's, which fills you with pride. While everybody else is following the herd, you march to the beat of your own drum. Don't be surprised when an admirer asks you for a date.
