There's never been a better time to align yourself with kindred spirits. Although you pride yourself on being a loner, there are times when you feel abandoned and misunderstood. Joining a sports team, a twelve-step program, or a volunteer organisation can alleviate this pain. Your considerable leadership abilities will be invaluable to your new friends. Start looking around for groups that speak to your needs and interests.

You have good instincts about where your best career prospects lie. Doing work that speaks to your humanitarian side can be quite fulfilling. If your current job doesn't provide you with much satisfaction, volunteer at your favourite charitable organisation. In time, you could land a paying position doing something you absolutely love. Female authority figures are particularly receptive to your talent for problem-solving.

Intuitive inspiration in art and music could make creative work easier than ever before. A catchy tune could pop into your head while negotiating traffic or a wild idea for a movie could occur while doing housework. Keep a paper and pencil on you at all times. You won't want to forget any of these brainstorms. Busying yourself with mundane work is a good way to distract your conscious mind. Let your imagination take over.

Your family life could be a profound source of joy and comfort today. Reach out to a relative who has been the source of some concern. Just showing you care can make all the difference. Alternately, you may want to tell a child how proud you are of their progress. Even the smallest effort should be recognised. Expressing your feelings to people you can trust will allow you to take some creative risks.

An interest in mysticism or the occult could prompt you to browse the stacks of your local library. Check out any books devoted to developing your subconscious. Becoming more strongly attuned to your psyche will help you make better choices in business and romantic relationships. Don't be swayed by charming manners or a stylish appearance. By listening to your heart, you'll discover who is worth your time and effort.

You're probably radiating good health, and with good reason. You're listening to your needs. Attending to your spiritual, emotional, and physical desires gives you extra energy. Feel free to cut down on work in favour of some pleasant activity. Being productive is overrated. It's more important to be happy and creatively fulfilled. Devoting half an hour each day to a hobby is better than any medicine out there.

Romantic opportunities arrive in all shapes and sizes, so keep your eyes open. Actually, it's probably better to listen to your heart, as appearances can be deceiving. Although you've always had a picture of how your dream lover should look, this person could actually arrive in an unexpected form. Don't question your feelings; just obey them. If you're in a relationship, suggest doing something neither one of you has tried before.

If you trust your intuition, you'll gain insight to somebody who has always confounded you. Don't be distracted by this person's brash behaviour. It's only a cover for low self-esteem. Once you recognise this, you'll be able to deal with this character in a much more productive way. Instead of reacting angrily to their antics, ask how they are feeling while looking into their eyes. This will break down the barriers between you.

Achieving intimacy with friends isn't as difficult as you think. Normally, you prefer playing the fool, indulging in wild antics to make pals laugh. What your loved ones don't realise is that beneath your smiling exterior beats the heart of a tender, sensitive person. Stop pretending you don't care about personal slights when they hurt you deeply. Confide your feelings to a sympathetic pal. Your sense of relief will be exhilarating.

This is an ideal time to go on a spiritual or educational journey. Visiting a foreign country that has always captured your imagination is essential if you're going to break out of a stifling rut. Too often, people have praised your practicality while ignoring your creativity. By taking this trip, you'll tap into your artistic side in ways you've never thought possible. Make arrangements to visit the land of your dreams.

Your ability to inspire others will be totally evident today, when you're asked to treat a morale problem. Think back on the times when authority figures made you feel ashamed or angry. What was it about their attitudes that made you feel awful? What would you have done differently? By keeping these lessons in mind, you'll be able to meet the needs of the people who are relying on you. Prepare for some amazing breakthroughs.

Working behind-the-scenes gives you a profound sense of spiritual satisfaction. You're not interested in claiming glory for yourself. All you want to do is make the world a better place for people in need. Volunteering time at a homeless shelter, hospital, or kennel will help you to become less shy and self-conscious. Alternately, you could intern as a crew member on a play or a movie, just to learn the ropes of the entertainment industry.
