You're not particularly ambitious now, which comes as a refreshing change to relatives. Spending quality time with your nearest and dearest has never felt so right. Don't get pressured into working late hours or performing office duties over the weekend. You've earned the right to a nice, long break. Taking kids out to a zoo, park, or museum might be especially fun. Your playful side could use some airing!

Exchanging ideas with friends stimulates your imagination in new and exciting ways. You're tired of always discussing harmless topics like the weather; you really want to know what makes people tick. It's very possible that a creative project could grow out of your discussions today. Make a list of thought-provoking questions, and then pass it around to people whom you love and respect. The answers will be illuminating.

Being in the public eye makes you glow with pleasure; you enjoy sharing your expertise with others. If someone asks you to make a presentation, ask to be compensated. There's nothing wrong with earning money from your considerable knowledge. People will be more than willing to pay you what you're worth, so name a high price. Too often, you underestimate how much your talents can fetch. Don't make that mistake today.

Your compassion and spiritual insight brings great solace to your friends. A loved one who is struggling with difficult problems may be especially in need of your counselling. Ordinarily, you hesitate to inquire about people's private lives, preferring them to come to you. Make an exception in this case. A little prodding could bring marvellous results. This person is probably dying to open up to an understanding soul.

You have great insight into what motivates people, which should help you with professional relationships. A colleague who has been remote and unfriendly could reveal something important about themselves. Observe this person carefully, because you could find a way to break through their icy reserve. When your superiors see how adept you are at human relations, they're apt to give you more interesting responsibilities. You've always enjoyed putting a personal stamp on work.

People are impressed with your ability to be a team player, no matter how chaotic the situation. Finding ways to be of assistance is your chief talent, and you should emphasise it. For instance, offering to help an overwhelmed colleague could win you a valuable ally. Don't worry if their duties don't match your own. Learning new skills is a great way to make yourself more valuable to your employers.

Don't be overly impressed by other people's qualifications; yours are just as significant. In fact, by advertising your talents to key authority figures, you could win a plum position with very little effort. When it comes right down to it, how you market yourself is just as important as the quality of your work. Sending out resumes, putting up a web site, or making a few cold calls could make all the difference today.

Exploiting your imagination and creative potential is key if you want to branch out. Performing the same duties day after day will only dull your sensibilities. Look for opportunities to travel, learn, and explore. A teacher who is looking for an eager pupil might think you're a good candidate. Don't hesitate to go under this person's wing, even if it means taking a subordinate position for a while. You'll soon come into your own.

You're easy-going personality is quite attractive to onlookers, so sit back and enjoy the admiration. An intense type may be sending serious romantic vibrations your way. If you do decide to hook up with this person, know that they may want a serious relationship. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but you should be aware that your paramour wants something more than a fling. You're too precious a catch to throw back into the sea!

Expressing yourself on paper should be easier than usual; if you've ever wanted to write a book, begin today. If not, this would be a good time to write to old friends or e-mail relatives. Keeping in touch with your nearest and dearest will give you a wonderful sense of grounding. This is especially important in times of stress. After all, jobs and possessions are only temporary, but relationships are irreplaceable.

Developing your skills is a good way to generate more income. Acquire a background in emerging technologies; the more cutting-edge your knowledge is, the more valued it will be. Fortunately, you're a quick study and have a genuine interest in the latest innovations. Don't worry if you have to spend money on classes. This initial investment will pay off many times over through future jobs. Maximise your professional prospects.

Although you're a born chameleon, it's time to take off your social mask and reveal you're true self. This is a daunting prospect, because you're afraid of making yourself vulnerable to people. The key is to set firm personal boundaries at the outset of any relationship. Make it clear that you won't tolerate abusive behaviour or emotional blackmail. Just because you're sensitive doesn't mean you have to be a doormat.
