You don't care what people think of your friends. You will stand by your loved ones until the bitter end. You've always enjoyed associating with unusual people. When they start engaging in unethical behaviour, you should worry. The last thing you want is to be deemed guilty by association. Be a little more discerning, even if it means abandoning a wild friend who is a lot of fun. You're no prude, but you don't want to hurt anyone. Think about how your actions will affect your relatives.

Having a rewarding career is important to you. You work hard regardless of what job you have. Therefore, you should find a position that is emotionally fulfilling. Don't be afraid to work in a creative field. Being paid to express your artistic side will fuel your enthusiasm for life. At first, you will have to make some personal sacrifices to get ahead. That's natural in any competitive industry. Don't worry; talent always rises to the top. You will be given a quick series of promotions.

This is a wonderful time to socialise. Resist the temptation to steer a casual flirtation into romantic waters. It's best to remain friends with someone who shares your interests but isn't very reliable. You're tired of giving everything to partners who don't reciprocate. If you're already in a relationship, there will be tension between you and your amour. It's difficult to be with someone who radiates disapproval all the time. Discuss their attitude and how it undermines your self esteem.

A passionate relationship fills you with excitement. It feels wonderful to be the focus of someone else's world. Be sure to protect a measure of independence. There's a difference between intimacy and claustrophobia. You have every right to have interests outside your relationship. If your amour tries to stand in between you and your hobbies, set them straight. You have no intention of undergoing a personality change for the sake of love. Do the things you enjoy most.

A partnership is going very smoothly. You benefit from having a collaborator. Getting caught in a rut can cause you to fall behind the crowd. Let people introduce you to new methods and emerging technologies. You can always revert to familiar ways when you're on your own. When it comes to your career, it's important to keep abreast of trends. It will take time to acquire skills. These lessons will cut into your leisure time. Ultimately, the sacrifice will pay off.

A labour of love gives you an attractive glow. It gives you great pleasure to gather facts, figures and materials before launching a big project. Your family will complain about your prolonged absences, but it can't be helped. Don't make any promises you will be forced to break. Instead, explain the situation and give an estimation of how long you will be busy. Fortunately, a romantic partner will be supportive and run errands while you're occupied with other work.

Finding a creative outlet should be your first priority. While it's nice to be needed at home, you should draw the line. Encourage relatives to be self reliant. This may involve refusing to do chores you've performed in the past. At first, everybody will be outraged by your change in attitude. Instead of trying to promote harmony, you'll be focused on meeting your own needs. Don't worry. Eventually all the excitement will die down and you'll be able to have more fun.

Fussing over your loved ones makes you happy. Whether this means cooking their favourite meals, making special gifts or running errands on their behalf is immaterial. The important thing is to find a way to uplift and support your family. Beware of going into serious debt. You don't have to spend a lot of money to demonstrate your devotion. If you're on a budget, stick to it. Be ready to turn someone away who wants a loan. You have to conserve your resources.

A loving conversation gives you the courage to make some changes. Try not to bristle if a friend brings your attention to a troubling trend. It's better to hear this observation from someone who cares. Turning over a new leaf could be difficult. You hate admitting defeat. It takes true courage to overcome a bad habit. If you need professional help, find it. A caring counsellor will teach you strategies for coping with temptation. Once you overcome this problem, you'll feel like a new person.

Indulging your sensual side is strongly advised. Enjoy some gourmet food, a spa treatment or a long soak in a scented bath. Don't feel too guilty about taking a break. Usually, you perform the work of three people. If you don't slow down, you will burn out. Reading a favourite book will be a welcome diversion from reality. You're a highly practical person who sometimes has difficulty relaxing. Remember that getting rest will make you more productive, not less.

Set yourself apart from the crowd. You've always been fashion forward. Dress in a way that makes you feel comfortable. Don't worry about fitting in. Someone who admires your distinctive appearance will ask you out for a drink. If you're single, you should go. You may not have much in common, but you'll enjoy comparing notes about your radically different backgrounds and ideas. In the end, you may decide to keep things platonic, but you will have made a good friend.

If you're going to enjoy fame and acclaim, you will have to put your shoulder to the wheel. Stop taking your creative talent for granted. Develop it at every opportunity. Set aside time in your busy schedule for painting, writing or playing music. Take a course with a good instructor. Start entering some competitions. The only way to generate publicity is to put your work on display. Get over any self consciousness and take the plunge. You'll be thrilled with the results.
