You could be asked to take the helm of a large organisation. This assignment gives you a great deal of pleasure, as you have a good sense of how the group should move forward. You're especially adept at finding the right person for the right job. Some of your choices will surprise onlookers, but you have absolute faith in the people around you. Your optimism brings out the best in everyone. Even the toughest types are eager to surpass your expectations.

Mixing with crowds of people has very little interest. You'd rather work quietly away in the corner, all by yourself. Fortunately, your boss will sympathise with your desire for privacy and leave you alone. If you have a personal matter in need of attention, take the day off. It's important to fall out of the rhythm of life to accommodate special situations. A woman will be especially grateful for the sacrifice. She takes great comfort in knowing you are there to shoulder some of her burdens.

You've always gained great strength from social activities, and that's especially true today. Mixing with people whose background is very different from your own will prove inspiring. A spirited conversation may even prompt you to take a trip. You're starting to ponder the big questions, like 'Why am I here?' and 'How can I make a positive impact on the world?' The best way to find the answers is to step out of your routine. This will open your eyes to new possibilities.

Your sex appeal demands attention. It's never been easier to get people's interest. Don't be afraid to use your allure as a means to gain favour with authority figures. True, you'd rather be lauded for your talent, but it's not always the way the world works. Comfort yourself with the knowledge that once you get your foot in the door of a powerful institution, you can make a positive difference. A steamy affair with a rebel could also be in the cards.

A legal matter can be decided in your favour. The secret to your success is a show of compassion. If you can demonstrate that you do have the best interests of everyone at heart, you will prevail. Don't get sucked in by the other side's attempts to make you angry or frustrated. Simply put forth a proposal that is fair to both parties. The powers that be will be impressed by your mature attitude, and may even award you with more than you asked.

Showing your vulnerable side to a loved one will make a tremendous difference to your relationship. In the past, you've been reluctant to show how this person affects you, in both positive and negative ways. Let down your defences in the interests of intimacy. If a teasing remark hurts your feelings, say so. If a lustful gesture sends shivers down your spine, admit that, too. It's sometimes hard for your loved ones to know where they stand with you.

Don't try to do a complicated job yourself. Enlist the aid of a professional. The two of you could develop a romantic attraction for one another. You appreciate this person's offbeat way of looking at things, while they appreciate your ability to create beauty from mundane materials. If you're already in a relationship, take this opportunity to wine and dine your amour. Just because you've made a commitment doesn't mean you can take this person for granted.

Getting exercise is a wonderful outlet for your frustrations. You've always had a tendency to bottle up your emotions. These repressed feelings can manifest themselves as headaches, stomach pains, or back problems. Although it may be a daunting prospect to work out when you're not feeling well, give it a try, anyway. Even a slow walk through the park can bring relief. Pretty soon, this gentle activity can be increased to bona fide workouts. Your mind and body are intimately connected.

Think of today as a marvellous gift. You have a rare opportunity to put work aside for the sake of fun. By all means, take the day off, hire a babysitter, or splurge on an expensive luxury. You're long overdue for a treat. If you've been growing apart from a child, you may want to arrange a special day for just the two of you. A trip to a museum, movie, or zoo could break down the barriers between you.

You've always cherished your privacy, and that's especially true right now. It's never been easy for you to wear your heart on your sleeve. Today, you're even more guarded. Maybe you're harbouring a crush on someone. Perhaps you are hiding feelings of jealousy or anger. Whatever the reason for this reticence, you need to honour it. Stop putting yourself in the path of people who are untrustworthy. The more discerning you are about your associates, the happier you'll be.

Your words have tremendous power, so be careful what you say. An emotional appeal to an authority figure could prompt him to change a restrictive policy. Take care you don't become hostile or bitter. You'll make much more headway if you refrain from personal attacks. Yes, this man has probably abused his power in some pretty atrocious ways. The fact remains, however, that he still calls the shots. Tailor your arguments accordingly. You may be shocked to learn he has a conscience.

Trust your instincts with regard to money. If your bank account is nearly empty, it will be replenished. It's all a matter of focusing on your blessings. After all, the Universe has provided you with enough bounty to get this far. There's no reason to assume you will be abandoned during your hour of need. Don't hesitate to share your resources with others. You could be repaid many times over. One thing's sure: this is no time to be tight fisted.
