Superficial relationships hold no interest for you. It may be time to cut ties with a casual acquaintance who has been taking up much of your time. If you are in a committed relationship, focus on improving your love life. Trying new techniques or acting out fantasies could be fun. Be attentive to your amour's desires. They may have changed since you first met. Fortunately, you're always willing to explore unfamiliar territory. Boredom is best conquered with your imagination.

Your negotiation skills are at an all time high. If you're not satisfied with a deal that is initially offered, propose another agreement. This goes for existing contracts, too. It's perfectly legitimate to ask for a raise or more time off when circumstances have changed. Be sure to the terms put in writing, or an authority figure could go back on their word. You have to look after your own interests now. Nobody else will do this for you.

The best way to prove your love is through helpful gestures. Running errands, performing work, or providing help are all ways to pay tribute to a friend or amour. This may seem boring, but such actions are actually quite meaningful. Anybody can buy flowers, candy, and gifts. It takes real character to devote your time and energy to someone else's wellbeing. Keep quiet if you feel tempted to criticise somebody else's creative work.

A playful flirtation puts a spring in your step. Normally, you're quite shy about expressing romantic interest. Today will be the exception to the rule. Friends will delight in this bold, sassy side. Let their appreciation sink into your soul. Buying someone an expensive gift won't make them like you. It's better to have relationships without any strings attached. Have more confidence in your ability to make friends just on the sheer force of your personality.

You're especially sensitive now. Try not to take offhand remarks too personally. Such comments are probably steeped in affection. Being able to take a good natured joke will only make you more popular. Devoting more time to your nearest and dearest is a good use of your generous instincts. You especially enjoy pampering women and children. Take a loved one's promises with a pinch of salt. It's possible they will have to cancel an outing at the last minute.

Curiosity could prompt you to take a course or befriend a newcomer. Although you find routine comforting, you yearn for a little variety. Mixing things up a little will be daunting at first, but you'll soon come to enjoy the intellectual stimulation involved. Resist the urge to bite off more than you can chew at work. You are very capable but you only have one pair of hands. Enlist the aid of a colleague if you feel overwhelmed. Everybody must do their fair share.

Make more time for pleasure in the weeks ahead. This shouldn't be difficult for you, as you always put enjoyment at the top of your list of priorities. Still, you shouldn't hesitate to spend a little more money on luxuries. If your towels are worn or your pillows are old, purchase some upgrades. Take a little extra time preparing good meals, too. When you feed yourself well, you radiate happiness and sensuality. A romantic partner could give you a beautiful token of their esteem.

A bold approach is favoured when it comes to amour. If you've been harbouring a crush on someone, go public with it today. The results will be thrilling. It may be necessary to cancel plans with a relative. Your loved one will be disappointed, but this can't really be helped. You have a tendency to overextend yourself these days. Think twice before accepting invitations or you'll be constantly rearranging your schedule, and a few appointments will fall through the cracks.

Be compassionate towards people who are undergoing a tough time. Although they may have brought their problems on themselves, it doesn't make their situation any easier. This doesn't mean you have to lend them money or go to extraordinary lengths to rescue them. Rather, it just requires you to refrain from rendering harsh judgments. Your friend will have to accept the consequences for their actions. Don't add to their misery with long winded lectures.

You're ready to spread your wings and fly, even at the risk of hurting a loved one's feelings. An ultra responsible person like you often serves as the support system for others. And while you're happy to help, you don't want to foster co-dependency. Spending too much money on a group outing will come back to haunt you. Be frugal when going out with friends. It's possible everybody else is trying to keep up appearances, too.

Reach out to an executive who can further your career ambitions. If you want to switch industries, you can do so by befriending someone who has lots of experience in your desired line of work. Don't exaggerate your abilities. They will be able to help you more if you give an honest account of your background. Keep your expectations low at first. It will take some time before you start rising up the ladder of success. Until then, just focus on doing your best.

When a loved one offers their honest opinion, be willing to take it. Although the truth hurts, it can help you make some important improvements. You have a tendency to feel sorry for yourself when the chips are down. By refusing to fall victim to self pity, you will blast past some previously insurmountable obstacles. A self help book can teach you some valuable strategies for overcoming negative thinking. There's never been a better time to turn over a new leaf.
