Business and pleasure come together pleasantly today, so be sure to enjoy yourself. Perhaps your office will give you a glamorous assignment, or you could be given an enviable perk. Alternately, you may come up with a marketable idea that will bring beauty and elegance into the world. By tuning into your sensual side, you'll be sure to come up with at least one brilliant concept. Wealth doesn't have to be earned by ugly means.

You're quite persuasive when it comes to subjects like love, money, and possessions. Coaxing your lover to give you a fabulous present should be a breeze right now. If you're not involved with anyone special, devise a way to give yourself a gorgeous gift. You can talk a shopkeeper into giving you a luxury item for a discount price, or find a way to pay off your purchase in small monthly instalments. Indulge yourself.

Some solitary reflection will help you through an ethical dilemma. A friend's bad behaviour could make you feel guilty by association. Try not to be so hard on yourself. Instead, retreat to a quiet place and listen to your heart. Let feelings of anger, sadness, and betrayal flow through you. Once you've yielded to your emotions, you'll have a clear idea of how to proceed with your misguided pal.

A fun evening with friends helps you to resolve intimacy issues. It's possible somebody has accused you of being cold and unfeeling. The truth of the matter may be much different. Your seemingly indifferent behaviour is probably a shield against future assaults. Spending time with loved ones will reassure you you're really not the calculating person your rival pretends. Guard against manipulative tactics at all costs.

Support and encouragement on the work front doesn't ease the pain in your personal life. Perhaps a lover or business associate has been hiding a secret from you. If that's the case, you need to reassess whether you want to go forward with this relationship. Consider whether your partner may have felt inadequate in light of your recent successes. Finding ways to make this person feel more worthy can mend the rift between you.

Encouraging communications from a lover make you feel like you're on cloud nine. Don't let these moments of ecstasy prevent you from treating a persistent health problem though. It's especially important to get a check-up if you have plans to go away on a romantic trip. You wouldn't want to be writhing in agony when you should be abandoning yourself to pleasure. A simple change in diet may be all you need.

A heartfelt confession from your mate is exactly the reassurance you needed. This revelation may be so stunning you feel as though you're walking through a haze. Don't press yourself to do a lot of work, because your focus will be decidedly weak. Instead, devote the day to your beloved. Spending the afternoon in bed isn't a bad idea at all. If you don't have a lover, cheer up. A secret admirer may come forward.

Things have never been better with a partner; your hearts and minds are acting as one. Unfortunately, your family may be interfering with your relationship. It's important to set your relatives straight with regard to your romance; otherwise, it may not survive the pressure. Too often, people refuse to take sides in these kinds of disputes. By standing by your lover, you will win the respect of everyone involved.

Improving your appearance may be the first order of the day. Usually, you're content to get by on your warmth and affability. Right now, however, you're anxious to make a good first impression. You might be contemplating losing weight or buying some attractive outfits. Don't let a pushy salesperson talk you into purchases that don't reflect your style. Just because you're getting spruced up doesn't mean you have to be a fashion victim.

Your imagination has never been more vivid; this is an excellent time to launch creative projects. Financial problems could be holding you back from pursuing a particular path. Don't fool yourself into thinking artists need to be rich. Make more time for the activities you love. If that means cutting back on spiritually deadening work, do it. The Universe is poised to reward big gambles.

Family members are being vague about plans, which angers you to no end. It may be impossible to move forward with home improvement plans until these individuals come to a decision. Rather than putting pressure on your relatives, make a strategic retreat. Acting as though you don't have a stake in the proceedings could set the wheels of progress into motion. Don't expect logical behaviour from irrational people.

Your subconscious could be sending confusing signals right now. On the one hand, things look favourable for resolving problems with a neighbour or sibling. On the other, your intuition is telling you to hold back. When in doubt, trust your instincts. Although the person in question looks receptive to reconciliation, they could still be harbouring deep resentments. Wait for a better moment to extend an olive branch.
