Today is something of a mixed bag; you work best when left to your own devices. The minute you're expected to collaborate, though, problems set in. You resent being told what to do by others. Certain colleagues may be better educated, but you've got more practical experience. Try not to get defensive. Uncooperative behaviour will be held against you. Swallow your pride and behave agreeably, especially towards alleged experts.

You're more determined than ever to make a cherished dream come true. A sibling or neighbour can be instrumental in reaching your goal. Don't dip into a retirement account to fund this project, or you'll jeopardise your long-term security. You're better off taking a part-time job or selling your creative work. Never fear; your savings will mount quicker than you think. Meanwhile, keep your eyes on the prize.

People may accuse you of being vain and self obsessed. Consider how this reputation could be undermining your chances at work. You're far more likely to get a promotion if your superiors think you're capable of building good relationships with clients, colleagues, and business contacts. Taking the focus off yourself will also improve your love life. Spend more time getting to know romantic prospects; don't discount them for surface reasons.

Expanding your horizons can be an uncomfortable experience, but it's ultimately rewarding. You're starting to see rewards for a huge investment of time, effort, and money. Colleagues may be threatened by your new direction. They can see that you're heading for bigger and better things, while they're stuck in one place. Try showing a little compassion. A secret love affair isn't worth the trouble and pain. Either end it or bring it into the open.

You may be considering a large purchase, like a home or a car and while the thought of spending so much money is a little nerve-wracking, you'll be glad you took the plunge in the end. A child or lover may be testing the limits of your patience. Although you'd like to indulge their whims, it's better to put your foot down. Trust your instincts when it comes to setting boundaries.

A rival or competitor prompts you to put forth an even greater effort. You're more determined than ever to be the best in your field. Don't be discouraged if you fall short of the mark. You'll do better next time. The important thing is to dig down deep and try harder than you ever have before. Family members may think your hard work is a waste of time. Pay no attention; they're just jealous.

A burst of energy makes it difficult for you to concentrate. This would be a great time to launch a fitness program. Taking up a sport or joining an exercise class will bring fantastic results. It may be difficult to see eye-to-eye with somebody whose background is radically different than your own. Don't try to force an understanding; just suspend judgement for the time being. This will save you lots of aggravation.

It's been a long time since you've had any fun on the romantic front, but that will change. Someone is casting flirtatious glances at you, and it's tremendously flattering. If you're single, you might want to pair up with this character. Their spontaneity will add a welcome dash of spice to your life. In the event you've already got a partner, why not whisk them away on an exotic holiday? You're overdue for a break.

Once again, home and family matters are heating up. Whether you're renovating your abode or looking for a new place to live is immaterial. The important thing is to find a quiet place where you can relax, if only for a few minutes each day. Be very gentle with relatives and roommates, as they're experiencing a lot of stress, too. You might want to ask your boss to cut you a little slack.

It's a good idea to heed a partner's words of advice regarding a rival. This person may be actively working to hinder your progress. Make more of an effort to praise a colleague's contributions or you could attract even more resentment. It's hard being the best worker in your group. People are bound to be jealous but you can defuse their envy by being generous with compliments. Be more willing to ask for help, too.

You've have great earning ability, but you tend to spend money as fast as you make it. If you'd like to emerge from this abundant period with a little money in the bank, put yourself on a budget. Make sure to give yourself some cash to play with every week; there's no sense in feeling deprived. Children and lovers can be very demanding right now. Instead of buying everyone gifts, spend more quality time together.

An ambitious heart makes you more aggressive than usual, especially when it comes to romance. You're not afraid to go after what you want. Older, established people especially arouse your interest. Beware of getting involved with an authority figure at work; it will only complicate your professional life. Do you really want to risk your job for the sake of a wild fling? Think before you answer!
