This isn't a good time to turn a friendship into a romance, even if the object of your desire seems willing. There are lots of mixed signals here, and what begins as a casual romp could end in bitter recriminations. Similarly, it's important not to lend or borrow money now, no matter how imperative the situation seems. Money and sex are volatile ingredients, and can do serious damage to an otherwise supportive relationship.

A business partner or lover may be undermining your efforts, but you've got a secret weapon: your charm. Your allure is so powerful you can convince anybody to do anything. There's never been a better time to apply for a loan or grant. If you're given a choice between getting a flat fee or a percentage of royalties, opt for the latter every time. Your detractors may be cursing your good luck every step of the way, which makes victory even sweeter.

An intimate relationship provides great solace today, especially as far as your overloaded schedule is concerned. If you've got too much on your plate, ask a lover or friend to relieve the burden. They'll be happy to run some errands for you. Colleagues may not be as cooperative, probably because they are overburdened, too. Unfortunately, this situation seems to be pulling your workplace apart, rather than prompting people to bond together. Seek solace from your private life.

Finances are a bit tight right now, which is having an adverse effect on your love life. Try not to squabble over money, even when your partner tries to make you feel guilty about your bank balance. This situation brings out the worst in everyone. Even small children have a tendency to lash out when they're unable to enjoy the same activities as their friends. Seek inexpensive ways to be entertained, like visiting museums or walking through the park.

It feels like you can't get ahead because of your origins. Maybe you didn't go to the right school, or perhaps people see you as being too privileged. Whatever the source of your problem, there is little you can do to change it. Even your nearest and dearest have little support to offer. At times like these, it's best to turn your attention to activities that give you pleasure. Lightening up will help you find inventive ways to conquer people's prejudices.

Although you're a very capable person, you're not sure if you can handle all of your present responsibilities. All this worrying has sapped your energy, making it difficult to complete the simplest tasks. Unrealistic expectations about work are also causing problems for you. It's possible your colleagues don't understand just how much time and effort go into your duties. Home provides a welcome haven from these troubles. Close the curtains, turn off the phone, and curl up with a good book.

You may not have the money to finance a dream project, but never fear. Your gift for the gab can open doors that were previously closed to you. Convincing a philanthropist to back your project or getting a loan officer to reconsider your application are among the possibilities. This isn't a good time to pursue a clandestine affair, as your activities will incur the wrath of a jealous lover. Keep your activities strictly above board, or your dearest laid plans could crumble to dust.

Suppressed anger towards a relative may erupt in a terrible explosion. You're tired of being deceived, and want to expose these lies to the light of day. Unfortunately, your methods won't win much sympathy from onlookers. It may appear as though you're picking on someone who is elderly or helpless, although you know differently. Still, it's important to protect your reputation, even if it means going along with this charade just a little while longer. Consider this a tactical decision.

Your charms have never been more evident, making you a very popular figure for the next month. Unfortunately, you may not feel you're worthy of such attention. Perhaps you feel inexperienced or uneducated. Maybe a jealous friend is preventing you from having a good time. Whatever the cause for your anxiety, you need to know it is entirely unfounded. You deserve every bit of acclaim coming your way, so sit back and enjoy it!

Your sex life has probably seen better days, and the results are getting you down. If you lack a partner, it could be due to the fact you're not nurturing your sensual side enough. A head to toe makeover will put you back in touch with your primal impulses. In the event you're already in a relationship, you need to put intimacy back into the equation. Make your bedroom an inviting place to luxuriate. Clear out the clutter, dim the lights, and invest in some beautiful bedding.

Self destructive tendencies could tempt you to make a rash decision regarding your career. It is so tempting to burn all of your bridges now, just for the pleasure of telling off a terrible boss. Before you light that match, think about who will be adversely affected by such behaviour. It's probably better to seek comfort from supportive friends right now. A well travelled person's advice is worth taking, as it will help you cope while forging a more satisfying job path.

Behind the scenes power struggles are preventing you from advancement and while this situation makes you furious, you must resist the temptation to lash out. Being kind to your tormentors is probably the best strategy, even though it will make you feel like a hypocrite. Sometimes you have to resort to underhanded behaviour when the deck is stacked against you. If you don't have the proper training to undertake an assignment, admit it. Otherwise, your ignorance will be discovered and used against you.
