Just because your ideas aren’t accepted with open arms by the hoi-polloi you don’t have to give in and render them useless. Dormant plans have now been hatched, thanks to you, but they need to be incubated and carefully nurtured before their true potential can be realised. Give them time to grow.

If an occasion or event doesn’t measure up to your standards maybe you were expecting too much from the start. If everyone else is happy maybe you should revise your own views - are you just a teensy-weensy bit jealous that you turned down success or it wasn’t your idea in the first place?

Go all out to show others how good you are at your job or anything you turn your head to. The chance to improve your own future prospects could come through your natural ability to put difficult concepts into simple, lay-man’s terms. You always were a dab-hand at getting through to folk.

You have plenty of energy but what good will it do if you scatter it all around and dissipate it? Something deep inside is stopping you from focusing on what you should be doing: are you allowing buried secrets, sorrows or resentments to ruin your chance of success? Lay ghosts to rest.

Before you accept something that’s offered to you but rightfully belongs to another consider the implications. It’s your conscience and you’ve got to live with yourself. Whatever is given you may be done so in good faith but at the same time the way it is procured could lead to recrimination.

Be prepared to deal with more than your fair share of difficulties and aggravations in connection with a job or domestic situation. Happily the day’s cloud does have a newly polished silver lining in the form of the approval, appreciation or reward you get for your tireless efforts.

It would be better to go along with the general consensus in a group situation rather than you be the one who makes all the waves. Nonetheless, if there’s something you have your doubts about, keep a close eye on the situation and time will tell whether or not you were right to be wary.

If you get the impression that someone has been deliberately dragging out a situation to milk it for all it’s worth, you won’t be the only one ready to call it a day. The severing of long-term ties or associations could leave you preparing for a degree of welcome change in your lifestyle.

A part of you rebels against the idea of tying yourself to anyone or anything. But you also know you can’t go through life without making commitments. You secretly fear the restrictions that new responsibilities bring, but lay down the ground rules from the start and you’ll have the whip hand.

If looking to buy or rent property or real estate, cast your eyes over the ads in your local paper, surf the Net, or take a trip to an estate agent to find just the place for you. You might let a good opportunity pass you by if you don’t move yourself onwards and upwards up the ladder now.

How can anyone mistake the signals you’re sending out when you blatantly wear the most scarlet of hearts on your sleeve for all to see. You’d quite happily share your time exclusively with the one special someone but tone down your feelings or you’ll only end up romantically disappointed.

If you work for a large organisation or medical profession, you could be offered the chance to do some further training. Whatever your age or status, take up the cudgel of knowledge: your enthusiasm is just what’s needed to show the boss you have the verve and initiative to go far.
