Keep your activities confidential or you'll lose momentum. If you're interviewing for a job, tell only your closest friends. You don't want your boss to get wind of the fact you're looking for a better opportunity. It's not your style to be secretive, but sometimes it's the only way to get ahead. Take care not to discuss a loved one's personal life at a casual party. Your friend wants to keep these matters private for the sake of a youngster.

A fundraiser or membership drive will draw on your organisational skills. You're not the type to let important jobs fall through the cracks. Instead, you'll take great pains to formulate a plan of attack before actually starting work. Onlookers will be impatient with your careful approach, but they're not the ones who will be embarrassed if this venture falls flat. Do whatever it takes to make this endeavour a success, even if it means turning down a contribution from an executive with questionable motives.

You'll get good news regarding a career matter. Don't let your luck go to your head. Resist the temptation to make an extravagant purchase as a reward for all of your hard work and sacrifice. There will be plenty of time for a shopping spree later. Right now, you have to demonstrate you are a frugal and resourceful person who is worthy of this position. If that means mending and pressing an old outfit instead of splurging on a new one, so be it.

Gaining access to a religious or cultural institution will improve your business prospects. If you're confronted with beliefs or attitudes that make you uncomfortable, stay silent. Make it your mission to listen more than you speak. Eventually you'll get a deeper understanding of this group's philosophies. You probably won't change your own ideas about life, but that's not necessary. It's still possible to get along with others without adopting their views. All it takes is an open mind and a kind heart. Fortunately, you have both.

You'll finally be able to collect a debt, but it will be a struggle. It may be necessary to break off a friendship with someone who has taken advantage of your generosity. At least you will be repaid for your kindness. You have no trouble sharing resources with people who are genuinely down on their luck. When it comes to helping those who are in the grips of an addiction you are better off keeping your wallet closed.

A partnership venture looks like being very successful. Two heads are better than one. Your employer may discourage you from joining forces with an artistic member of the staff. That's because such an alliance is threatening to their stature. Think about leaving your job and forming a company with your comrade. You'll be able to attract a loyal customer base in no time flat. Attending a wedding or engagement party will be lots of fun, but take care not to outshine the guests of honour.

Take an organised approach to work. There are many jobs to be done and you have to prioritise them. Going from one project to another without thought to the outcome will result in disaster. Don't satisfy someone who is eager to see you fail. In the past, you were more intent on pleasing the group than making unpopular decisions. By sticking to your guns, you'll render a perfect performance that impresses even your most severe critics. Summon your courage.

Take a few moments to plan a creative project that has been tugging at your brain. Outlining the chapters of a novel, organising photos for an exhibit, or making a few sketches for a painting will lift your spirits. Lately, you've been spending the lion's share of your time on family matters. Until you engage your imagination, you will feel tired and dispirited. Don't be surprised when your love life improves once you start flexing your artistic muscles again.

This is a great time to buy or sell a piece of property. If you're trying to sell a property you must be willing to negotiate with a potential buyer. You may not get your asking price, but you will make a considerable profit. In this market, you can hardly ask for more. Are you looking for a new place to live? You can find a beautiful abode near a body of water. You'll have to cajole a friend or lover into taking it.

Going on a short trip would be a good idea. Colleagues will be jealous when your boss gives you a plum assignment, but it can't be helped. You're the most capable person in the organisation, even if you have only been there a short time. You'll be able to forge close ties with your colleagues by teaching them valuable skills. Don't lord your superior knowledge over others. Instead, use it to build a bridge. Treating each others as competitors will waste valuable time and effort.

You should be proud of a money making idea. It will yield a handsome profit in times to come. A child or lover wants you to go on a shopping spree, but you must resist temptation. It's time to build resources, not squander them. Living beneath your means will put you in a powerful position. You don't want to be forced into taking an odious job. By having some money in reserve, you'll be able to hold out for a better position.

Share your ideas with confidence and enthusiasm. Although certain family members will balk at your suggestions, most others will celebrate them. This is a wonderful time to go on an audition or job interview. People respond favourably to your creativity and compassion. You're also looking good, probably because you've noticed someone who has noticed you. It's nice to know your sex appeal is in full effect. You'll have the crowd eating from your hand in no time.
