You enjoy playing dumb with someone who thinks they can trick you. At the last possible moment, you'll expose this manipulator. If there's anything you can't stand, it's a liar. You've always taken a direct approach to everything from business to romance. Let the public know what is really going on. You'll save a trusting person a great deal of money and aggravation. It may even be necessary to file a police report. Creating a paper trail is the fastest way to catch hucksters.

Stability is your biggest priority. Unfortunately, big bills are making it difficult to save money. You will have to stick to a strict budget to attain the freedom you crave. Fortunately, a challenging work assignment is on the horizon. This will be a chance to capitalise on your creative talent. If you do a good job, bigger and better opportunities will come your way. Suddenly, living on a shoestring won't seem so galling. You'll be too busy having fun to miss little creature comforts.

You're excited to break ground. Breaking away from a dull routine will be liberating. Try not to offend an expert who enjoys their narrow area of speciality. Although their knowledge is impressive, you want to branch into other areas. The opportunity to study with a talented artisan should be pursued. The two of you feel an instant rapport. If you're single, resist the urge to get romantically involved until you've finished your studies. The last thing you want is to mix business with pleasure.

Building castles in the air is a worthy pastime. Recently, you've been busy with a demanding project. You simply don't have the energy to keep working at this accelerated rate. Give yourself the gift of rest. Colleagues may grumble at your slow pace, but that's only because you've been doing the lion's share of work. It's time they did their fair share. Take a nap, read a book for pleasure or listen to some soothing music. A little down time will be therapeutic.

You're willing to endure uncomfortable surroundings for the sake of intellectual stimulation. If a friend invites you on an unusual adventure, go. Don't worry about little jobs that fall through the cracks. You'll be able to attend to these matters later, when you feel fresh and revitalised. Are you looking for love? Don't get involved with an emotionally immature rebel. Although you find their provocative remarks amusing, you'll quickly tire of catering to their fragile ego.

You're willing to make sacrifices for the sake of your career. Postponing a serious romance may be the price you pay for attaining success. Unfortunately, you cannot neglect your family along the way. Take time out of your busy schedule for your nearest and dearest. Without their support, it will be difficult to reach your goal. Attending a big reunion is strongly advised. Travelling down memory lane will be more fun than you expect. Drag out the old photo albums.

Don't be afraid to challenge a popular assumption. Offering another view will protect a vulnerable segment of your community from being demonised. You prefer to judge people on the content of their character instead of cosmetic considerations. Neighbours will be willing to follow your example after you take a stand. Often, it takes one brave person to trigger a movement. Be a force for harmony in your neighbourhood. Reach out to a group that has had difficulty fitting in.

You enjoy making someone fall head over heels in love with you. It's not quite fair. You can be absolutely devastating and use your powers for selfish purposes. If you already have a serious partner, be honest with someone who has developed a huge crush on you. Make it clear you have no intention of straying from your amour. Flirting is fun, but it can be hurtful to those with less experience. Think back to a time when a person broke your heart. Don't inflict the same injury.

Spending time with your best friend will replenish your batteries. Lately, it feels like you have been giving all of your resources to an uncaring world. Stop jumping each time someone snaps their fingers. Make a few demands of your own. Pattern your behaviour after an imperious Leo. When you act like royalty, people will treat you accordingly. Although you don't enjoy putting on airs, it is often the only way to command respect. Hold your head high and do not settle for second best.

Keeping busy makes you happy. It may be difficult to get help from a government agency. You'll have to call the same office several times before processing some paperwork or getting a license. Fortunately, you are very patient. Ask for people's names and take notes on all of your conversations. Having detailed records will make it easier to get the result you want. Let a loved one pamper you after a long, tiring day. Forget your problems and abandon yourself to pleasure this evening.

Your romantic side is coming out, much to the delight of your partner. Indulge the desire for an intimate evening together. If you're single, you could meet someone special at a cultural, religious or educational organisation. Resist the temptation to make the first move. Instead, hang back and wait for the object of your affection to approach. Your charisma is very strong. Use it to lure someone special into your web of intrigue. A game of cat and mouse will be stimulating on every level.

Family ties are important. If you're far from kin, it's important for you to create a loving support network. Get to know your neighbours. Form friendships with colleagues. Learn the names of local shopkeepers and public figures. The more extensive your social circle, the happier you will be. You have a tendency to retreat to the shadows when life becomes difficult. It will be less easy to escape when you become an integral part of the community.
