Your surroundings are a good indication of how you feel. If your home is cluttered and chaotic, you probably have a difficult time making decisions and moving forward. If things are comfortably dishevelled, you are content with your lot and make the most of life. When things are overly orderly, you may be trying to exercise too much control over everyone else. Try to find a happy medium. It's nearly always helpful to empty out one messy closet or drawer.

When you spend time on the activities and people you love, things are great. People respond well to your energy, and may offer you a variety of favours and services. If you've been keeping your nose to the grindstone, fun outings will be few and far between. Fortunately, you have a chance to scale back your work schedule in favour of fun. Be sure to plan a long weekend or fully fledged holiday for the near future. All work and no play make a dull Bull!

Your loved ones have a strong impact on your outlook. If you feel down, you may want to get some distance from a brooding relative. On the other hand, if it seems like everything is coming up roses, you need to stick close to a brother, sister, aunt, or uncle. There's a good chance you could move to an area that provides a lot of natural beauty. A generous parent could give you money for the deposit.

You could be sent on a business trip, which offers a welcome change of scenery. Although you'll be very busy, you'll still enjoy yourself. Be sure to treat yourself to a few good meals along the way. You might meet someone sexy on this trip. You're especially attracted to someone with a posh accent and a crisp, tailored look. Be sure to get their phone number, as they are probably too shy to ask for yours.

You've got plenty of money making ideas. Selling handmade jewellery, pottery, or clothing will cause your confidence to soar. You've been blessed with considerable artistic talent. Now you know you can earn a living from it, you feel less vulnerable to the vagaries of the job market. If you have a job you enjoy, this would be an excellent time to ask for a raise. Your boss will find it impossible to argue with your logic; you're one of their best workers.

You're extremely focused, which intimidates rivals and wins supporters. This is a great time to present your creative work to the public, go on a job interview, or head out on a first date. Launching a website is also favoured. If you've recently written something, it could be printed in a prominent publication. Whatever your situation, you'll be in high demand. Be selective about the company you keep, as they'll have a profound impact on your mood.

Trust your instincts about a writing project; if you feel compelled to write a story, put pen to paper today. You don't have to have all the details fleshed out; just make a broad outline today. Normally, you're a social butterfly. Today you prefer sitting in a quiet corner by yourself. If somebody tries to spoil your interlude, be prepared to send her on her merry way. Even an accommodating person like you has your limits.

Being around positive people gives you a new lease on life. When left to your own devices, you have a tendency to take a dim view of life. Seek out a friend who is always cheerful. At first, their upbeat attitude will get on your nerves. Eventually you'll get into the spirit of things and start enjoying your blessings. Not only that, you'll start attracting luck that previously eluded you. An attentive female friend is an especially good influence on you.

You have very set ideas about how things should be run. Fortunately, your boss is prepared to hand you the reins. Do your best to make your surroundings as comfortable and pleasant as possible. This will bring out the best in your team. If you are looking for work, schedule as many interviews as possible in the week ahead. Potential employers will be impressed by your communication skills, not to mention your positive attitude. You prefer to solve problems not create them.

Someone could ask you to teach a class. This will be a welcome opportunity for you to impart helpful information. Fortunately, your students will be eager to learn, and will make you feel much better about your own abilities. In the past, you've been ridiculed for having specialised knowledge. These days, the public is starting to realise just how important it is to have seasoned experts on hand. Brush up on the most recent developments in the field.

This is a good time to hammer out the details of a joint financial agreement. Whether you're working on a divorce settlement, prenuptial contract, or retirement account, the conversation will be reasoned and fair. If somebody proposes something you don't like, voice your opposition in a gentle, calm way. A workable alternative is possible. If you owe somebody money, repay them now. It feels as if a weight has been lifted from your shoulders.

You identify very closely with a best friend, colleague, or romantic partner. When they are successful you can take half the credit. If somebody attacks your partner, you feel justifiably angry. Just knowing they are in your corner is very comforting. If you are single, you could meet someone special at a book club, library, or public garden. Keep your eyes open for a witty intellectual person with an unusually traditional fashion taste.
