It may be difficult to summon enthusiasm for your personal life when you're so busy at work. Finding fulfilment will be difficult unless you adjust the balance. If you're single, you may want to go on a blind date this week. Be open to the experience, and curb your aggressive tendencies. Already have a lover? Then schedule some private time together. Hire a baby sitter, go away for the weekend and talk to your partner about the things that matter most to them.

Don't put all of your eggs into one basket, especially where a job is concerned. Your situation may be secure now, but that won't be the case in the long-term future. You're better off developing your skills as you move up the ladder to success. Joining a union or a professional organisation can give you valuable contacts. Try not to assert yourself too strongly in the beginning. Just sit back and watch the proceedings.

For the past few years, your career has resembled a roller coaster ride. Most people wouldn't be able to handle the uncertainty, but you seem to thrive on it. Maybe that's because you come up with your best ideas when forced out of your comfort zone. If you've ever wanted to work in a creative field, now is the time to try. You've got a unique vision others will appreciate. Put your talent on display.

If you're forced to choose between your family and an intimate relationship, choose the latter. Otherwise, bitterness and resentment will set in. You've always been eager to win your relatives' approval, but that may not be possible now. Are you really going to throw away personal happiness just to win favour with your kin? If you're still uncertain about what path you should take, look to the lives of people you've always admired.

Someone may be pressuring you to relinquish your rights with regard to a joint financial account. This should be a red flag that something is not quite right. Go over your bank statements with a fine-toothed comb. If you see any irregularities, it may be time to put your money in a separate account. Your boss may try to allay your fears, but don't be lulled into a sense of complacency. Guard your own interests.

A lover or close associate could give you the strength you need to leave a bad situation. You're tired of being pigeon-holed. If that means leaving a dead-end job or ending a suffocating relationship, so be it. You have a marvellous opportunity to branch out. Society may frown on your rebellious behaviour, but so what! You've got to lead your own life, even at the risk of public disapproval. Go where your heart leads.

It doesn't pay to be overly generous with greedy relatives and roommates. Yes, you want to keep the peace, but some prices are too steep to bear. If you think you'd be better off with another living arrangement, say so. A colleague could tell you about a fantastic house or apartment that meets all of your needs. Be quick to follow this lead, as it could mark a very happy turning point for you.

Harbouring high expectations could set you up for a terrific disappointment. Resist the urge to envision the best case scenario. Open your heart to whatever comes. Good or bad, it will be a learning experience. You're especially nervous about a lover or child. Your idea of a close relationship is much different than theirs. Be prepared to give this person a little more freedom. There's no better proof of your trust.

Peer pressure can be enormous on a popular person like you! You've got so many friends, and they all have different ideas on what your next move should be. Rather than asking their advice, look within for the answers you seek. This is especially important with regard to your home life. It may be necessary for you to make some radical changes to your abode, if only to address your changing needs. Summon your strength.

Resist the urge to bite off more than you can chew, especially at work. It doesn't pay to promise things you can't deliver to your boss. If you've had a hard time finding a job, it may be because you have overestimated your abilities. Think about more education or getting some additional training. Improving your writing skills could help tremendously. Find a teacher who fills you with enthusiasm.

Spoiling a lover or child could set a very bad precedent today. You want so much to give this person all they desire, but that won't be healthy for your relationship in the long run. Lay down some firm personal boundaries, and don't back down. It's never fun to set limits on love, but sometimes it's necessary. A financial windfall could enable you to buy a gadget you've wanted for a long time.

Someone may ask you for a loan and you'd like to help out. Unfortunately, you're not really in the best position to be handing out money right now. Be prepared to say 'no', even if it means the relationship will suffer in the short-term. There's nothing wrong with wanting to keep your hard-earned money for yourself, especially if it's going to buy you more personal freedom. Take time off to develop your artistic talent.
