It's a great time to connect with friends you haven't seen in a long time. Your boss won't be willing to give you time off, so prepare for a struggle. Unlike many of your colleagues, you've been working around the clock to finish a project. You've earned a holiday. If your peers can't handle the responsibility, they'll have to take a crash course. You can't be expected to bear the whole weight of the department on your shoulders. Issue an ultimatum.

You're in a good position to negotiate a raise or promotion. Some people may say you lack experience, but that's just a negotiation tactic. Although you may not have been in your position long, you've amassed a great deal of knowledge. You've forged strong contacts and have an impressive track record. By continuing to press for the recognition you deserve, you'll be victorious. Ignore a jealous colleague who complains about your meteoric rise. They don't work half as hard as you.

Opportunities to travel and meet with people from an exotic background will occur. This is a great time to go on a trip. It doesn't matter if this journey is for business or pleasure. You will benefit from exploring unknown territory. It's important to stick to a strict budget. Racking up a lot of credit card debt will be cause for regret. Fortunately, you'll be able to have a great time without spending lots of money. Do some research on discount accommodation and affordable restaurants.

More money will become available, but it will put a strain on a close relationship. A loving or business partner will ask for more than their fair share of this windfall. You'll have to argue about the most equitable way of distributing this money. In the past, you were fine with letting others indulge their love of creature comforts. Now it's time to indulge your desires. If that means going on a relaxing holiday by yourself, do it. You've earned a break.

You're ready to form a serious partnership, but there are some clouds on the horizon. It's important to understand what the division of labour will be before making this commitment. You can't be expected to do all the work. Talk about your expectations. Be willing to make some compromises. If a certain arrangement doesn't work, explore your options. It would be silly to abandon a potentially great alliance because of petty matters like these. Communication is the name of the game.

You'll be given a plum assignment at work. This will cut into your leisure time, but it can't be helped. If you do a good job with this project, you'll be given a raise, promotion or both. Don't let an argument over finances break your stride. It's important to lobby for more money when given a laughably small budget. You've always been able to yield impressive results with very few resources. Although you're willing to do your best with less, you will not work with shoddy materials.

A passionate romance makes you feel like you're walking on air. A relative is acting like a fly in the ointment. Stop allowing this family member to comment on your private life. If you live under the same roof, it may be time to get your own place. Being financially independent will give you a greater measure of freedom in other areas. Sometimes you bend over backwards to satisfy your nearest and dearest. This is a mistake. Stand up for your own needs. Nobody else will.

If you're looking for a new place to live, you will find one that meets your needs. It will be necessary to go over legal papers with a fine toothed comb. The buyer or seller will try to slip in a few extra clauses that end up costing you a lot more money than expected. Be willing to show this agreement to a property professional before signing on the dotted line. It's worth paying an expert their fee to watch your back and protect your interests.

You'll have a chance to travel far and wide. Make sure to keep your personal information under lock and key. The last thing you want is to become a victim of identity theft. Keep a list of your financial account numbers, along with their emergency contact information, where you can find it easily. That way, if you misplace a credit card or notice unusual charges, you can quickly rectify the matter. Make sure not to leave your mobile phone behind at a hotel or restaurant, either.

More money will become available as long as you are willing to fight for it. Someone who resents you will try to delay payments that are owed to you. Don't be afraid to make a scene. Putting the spotlight on this deadbeat will cause them to scurry for their chequebook. You're tired of being patient with someone who is always trying to get something for nothing. The sooner you end this alliance, the better. There are more rewarding associations to be made.

You'll see your life change in important ways. Dealing with a bureaucratic agency will be difficult, but you're fantastically stubborn. Refusing to back down will cause an official to meet your demands. Don't be afraid to wear down their resistance. This victory will give you the strength to assume a big challenge. Embarking on romance, moving across country or launching a business are among the possibilities. You're no longer interested in maintaining the status quo.

An old friend is ready to advise you with a personal matter. You're shy about bringing up the subject, fearing you will be judged. Put your worries aside. You're dealing with someone who is kind, compassionate and fair. With their help, you'll be able to overcome a limiting financial situation. Landing a good job will cause your confidence to soar. Once you stop suffering in silence, you'll be able to pay your bills and put some of your income into savings.
