You're tired of just talking about things; you're ready to put plans into action. Some people may think you're too brash and pushy to be successful. What they don't realise is you have to be forceful about realising your dreams. Breaking a few social codes is a very small price to pay for happiness. In the event you hurt somebody's feelings, offer an immediate apology. Just because you're driven doesn't mean you're callous.

The future seems limitless right now, and you're ready to take some calculated risks. Putting your knowledge to good use gives you tremendous satisfaction. Pay attention to small details, or you could experience some serious upsets. Communicating your needs clearly and thoroughly is half the battle. Write a detailed list of instructions for anybody who is performing work for you, and be open to suggestions.

You have plenty of self-confidence with regard to your intelligence, but be careful. Underestimating a rival could have disastrous results for you. It's better to play dumb than to show off the full scope of your knowledge. The less threatening you seem to others, the simpler it will be to reach your objectives. It may be hard for a naturally friendly person like you to be so sneaky, but try your best.

Rather than dwell on your own troubles, focus on what you can do for somebody else. You can learn valuable lessons from somebody who is struggling with issues that are absolutely alien to you. Suspend judgement and watch how this person copes. Don't hesitate to ask lots of questions, even if you don't know each other very well. Your sensitive approach could bring about a great friendship. Stranger things have happened.

Talking with friends helps you to resolve painful issues that have been nagging you for some time. You're not the type who can keep emotions bottled up without feeling ill. Pour out your heart to someone trustworthy. Be a little aggressive with a love interest who seems detached. This person is probably afraid to return your affection and worried that you are just playing games. Make your intentions crystal clear.

Friends are dumping their problems on you, which is quite draining. It may be time to distance yourself from these people, at least until you get a chance to do some of the things you enjoy. The more time you devote to counselling people, the less private time you'll have. Keep this in mind when talking to a person who tends to look on the dark side of things. Don't let their pessimism infect you.

Authority figures are breathing down your neck, making it difficult for you to relax. You may have to withstand pressure to spend more time at work for the sake of your family. True, the powers-that-be may frown at your behaviour, but you need to keep your priorities straight. Anger could manifest itself as illness if you don't find an outlet for it. Get plenty of vigorous exercise, especially when stress starts mounting.

You're eager to pursue the activities you enjoy, even if it means forgoing responsibility. Take care not to rationalise immoral behaviour, though, or you could wind up in a lot of trouble. Yes, it's fun to flirt with people who are in committed relationships, but this can lead to tremendous problems. Consider how your actions could hurt innocent bystanders like children, spouses, and friends. Let your conscience be your guide.

An intelligent conversation causes your reputation to soar; it's time to show everyone how bright you really are. Too often, you hide behind a silly fa ade, preferring people to think you're a clown instead of a philosopher. Actually, you're a bit of both. This wouldn't be a problem, except you often underplay your intelligence, fearing others will be intimidated by it. Stop playing dumb and let the real you come out.

You're quite moody today, especially with regard to a serious partnership. Although you appreciate everything your friend does for you, their presence can feel a little cloying at times. Take this opportunity to go off on your own for a few hours. Going for a solitary stroll or taking a short drive can take the stress off of your relationship. Just because you are closely aligned doesn't mean you have to do everything together.

Don't push yourself too hard, or you could feel worn out by the end of the day. Your mood depends greatly on your physical health. Buying a labour-saving device may seem like a senseless extravagance, but consider how much freedom it can afford. Go ahead and splurge on an appliance that will cut your work load in half. Discuss sexual needs with your partner if you feel unfulfilled in the bedroom. Be honest but kind.

Living for the moment makes the best sense right now; you're tired of putting off pleasure. You may experience difficulty with planning for a vacation or buying art supplies. Don't let these temporary snags prevent you from having a good time. A few last-minute adjustments will be all that's necessary for you to move forward with plans. Listen to a business or romantic partner's ideas with great respect. Collaboration is key to problem-solving.
