Maintain your high standards in love. If your current romantic interest doesn't make your pulse pound, move on to greener pastures. It would be cruel to pour more energy into a relationship that is fated to fizzle out. You want a partner who challenges your assumption and excites your imagination. Keep your eyes open for someone with a mischievous glint in their eye. Quiet, retiring types are intriguing at first, but eventually dampen your natural enthusiasm.

Lavishing a partner with love feels natural. Lately, you've been thinking how your amour makes life special. You're eager to return all their warmth, kindness and generosity. Although you're not especially mushy, you do have a romantic streak. A lavish gift, loving note or intimate trip may be a great way to pay tribute to your relationship. Give careful thought to how your better half experiences affection. Tailor your gesture accordingly. You'll be delighted by their enthusiastic response.

Let a relative spoil you a little. They see you're frazzled and want to help you recover. Allow them to prepare you a meal, give you some money or run some errands for you. Sometimes you accuse family members of meddling when they're really trying to help. Stop being so defensive. Everybody has low periods. By accepting support when it's offered, you'll build strong relationships that last a lifetime. Don't worry; you'll soon have an opportunity to do something kind for your benefactor.

Trying something new will lift your spirits. You have a tendency to get caught in ruts. This isn't healthy. By pushing the envelope, you'll acquire new skills and become more emotionally mature. Follow an adventurous friend's lead. Let them introduce you to unfamiliar cuisine, new music and different hobbies. Some things you'll enjoy and others you'll reject. The important thing is to widen your horizons. This process of trial and error will be a lot more fun than you expect.

Indulging your sensual side is strongly advised. Get a massage, luxuriate in a scented bath or enjoy a gourmet meal. Neglecting your desire for pleasure and beauty makes you cranky. Soon, you start snapping at loved ones and quarrelling with colleagues. Invest in your own happiness. Even a small extravagance will feel therapeutic. Taking precious possessions out of storage is another great way to pamper yourself. Eat meals on fine china. Wear a piece of fine jewellery to a casual event.

Showing off your abilities will attract some terrific offers. Admirers will ask for dates and employers will offer jobs. Don't take this lucky streak for granted. Use it to embark on the life you've always wanted. In the past, you were too shy to demand what you wanted. That's starting to change. You're tired of seeing selfish people surpass you. The only difference between you and them is a willingness to command the spotlight. Put on an eye catching outfit and make a dramatic entrance.

Sneaking off to a tranquil retreat will be energising. You're a highly social person, but sometimes even you tire of having constant company. Getting off on your own will give you a chance to reconnect with your spiritual side. Devoting more time to nature, pets and art will soothe your restless energy. Soon, you'll wonder why you felt compelled to attend every party that crowded your schedule. Solitary pursuits will become preferable to group outings. You might even find time for a creative project.

A friend will make a generous offer. Staying at their holiday home, borrowing some jewellery or using their car will make life much more pleasant. It's difficult for a suspicious person like you to receive generous gestures. You're always looking for any strings attached to such overtures. The sooner you let down your defences, the better. They are keeping you from enjoying the supportive relationships you deserve. Build a social network that will sustain you through trying times.

Treat yourself to a little luxury. You're not especially materialistic, but you do enjoy the occasional creature comfort. Go ahead and spend a little more on clothes, jewellery or books than you normally would. Alternatively, you might like to plan a glamorous holiday. Visiting a glittering metropolis will be lots of fun. You'll enjoy going to theatres, restaurants and boutiques. Don't be surprised if you find love on this trip. Adventure gives you a healthy glow that's hard to resist.

If you've been thinking about adopting a pet, go for it. Visit a shelter and look around for a companion. Keep an open mind. Trust Fate to lead you to the right companion. You'll have to make some changes to your daily routine to accommodate your new friend. Making them comfortable takes time, patience and understanding. Soon, it will be difficult to remember when you weren't together. Owning an animal can be one of the best experiences ever. It's a great way to enjoy unconditional love.

You're magnetic and mysterious. Attracting romantic interest will be easy. If someone asks for a date, you might want to play hard to get. The more elusive you are, the more ardent they'll become. It's fun being the object of desire. Are you already in a relationship? Take this opportunity to ask your amour for a big favour. It will be practically impossible to turn down your request. Don't be afraid to push if you are met with resistance at first.

Take this opportunity to negotiate a great deal. Whether you're buying a home, car or signing a contract is immaterial. You can get incredible terms if you pour on the charm. As a general rule, you're receptive to what life has to offer. By learning to ask for more, you'll have an important breakthrough. People will give you more respect when you promote your interests. Ask for more than you think you can get. You'll be astonished when your wish is granted.
