Getting ahead is as easy as drawing on your social connections. If you're looking for love, let a sibling or neighbour set you up on a blind date. Need a job? Ask your lover to spread the word among their colleagues. Want to move to a nicer neighbourhood? Tell colleagues that you're seeking a new place. Normally, you're determined to do all the work yourself. Let today be a departure from that approach.

Your great taste could increase your fortunes dramatically. Sprucing up your work space will make you more productive and creative. Don't be surprised if you're given a bonus, raise or award after you've added a few beautiful touches to your office. Investing in artwork, precious gems, or luxury items is also favoured. You've got wonderful instincts about what will appreciate over time. If you're looking for a job, ask a female friend to help search.

It will be no trouble attracting romance today, since you've never looked better. Feel free to flirt with a talented artist. This person's youthful approach to life is really refreshing. You're tired of hanging around pessimists who think it's a waste of time to try anything new or different. If you're already in a relationship, you should encourage your partner to develop their own gifts. You have the makings of a successful Muse.

You're especially emotional and sensitive right now, and may shy away from the madding crowd. That's perfectly fine. There's no reason you should subject yourself to stressful situations when you don't need to. If you're longing for company, ask a friend over for dinner. Better yet, host a small party for people who uplift and inspire you. It doesn't have to be a formal, fancy affair. In fact, the more casual it is, the better.

Exercising tactful diplomacy with friends puts you in the winner's seat today. Don't be surprised if a pal presents you with theatre tickets or a lovely piece of jewellery. It's your reward for being so supportive. Want to improve your romantic prospects? Start reading books on the art of flirting. Learning about body language can be enormously helpful, too. Finding love is a matter of communicating what you want in the most enticing way possible.

Getting involved with artistic or cultural work can further your career tremendously. If your current job is totally unrelated to such endeavours, you can always get involved with a volunteer effort. Your contributions will be so appreciated you could be offered a plum position. Don't hesitate to leave a dull, secure spot for something that affords you great happiness. Life is too short to spend on drudgery. Say 'yes' to happiness.

People from different backgrounds seem to understand you better than your own kith and kin. Maybe because you've always had a talent for seeing other points of view. If you're looking for love, it may be wise to seek somebody with a different cultural background. Are you already in a relationship? Make plans to go away to a beautiful country that has always excited your imagination. A change of pace will prove exhilarating.

Sexual fulfilment is your primary goal today; you'll do anything and everything to meet your objective. If you're single, it's time to come out of your shell and join the dating scene. Put out an ad in the singles column of your local newspaper. Give Internet dating a whirl. Let your friends set you up on blind dates. Do you already have a lover? Spend more time cultivating intimacy together. Arrange a candlelit supper.

Harmony and emotional fulfilment come courtesy of a close relationship. You've always been an independent soul, but you need to open your heart to love when you're feeling depressed. Let someone you love pamper you, even if it does make you uncomfortable at first. If you're looking for romance, try going out with a nurturing type who is eager to bring out your softer side. A little tenderness never hurt anybody.

This is a wonderful day to spruce up your professional wardrobe. Go out and buy some of those classic, tailored pieces you love. You're sure to find some fantastic bargain. It pays to add at least one good-looking suit to your closet, even if you're out of work. That way, you can make a good impression on first interviews. A handsome briefcase and a pair of stylish shoes will complete the look.

Lovers are drawn to you like moths to a flame; you've never been so attractive. You're not interested in going out with just anybody, though. You're seeking a partner who stimulates both your mind and body. Attending a spiritual or educational gathering could be marvellously lucky for you. Don't hesitate to introduce yourself to somebody who catches your eye. Already in a relationship? Maybe it's time to schedule a second honeymoon.

You love being surrounded by beautiful things; they give you a sense of security. If you're not happy with your current abode, then do some redecorating. You don't need to spend a lot of money to create a great look. Just a few coats of paint can enact a marvellous transformation. Go for colours that remind you of the sea: aqua, violet, and foam green. Pay special attention to your boudoir.
