Working in seclusion yields the best results. Ordinarily, you enjoy being surrounded by lots of noise and activity. Now you crave peace and quiet. Fortunately, a colleague who is sympathetic to your plight will be able to hide you away in some private corner. Take this opportunity to apply for a certificate or license. Bureaucratic officials are very helpful now, but this won't always be the case. You could even get a grant from a government agency.

Friends have a way of bringing out the best in you. Someone in your social circle really admires your artistic talent and has suggestions on showing it off. Go ahead and take their advice. You won't be sorry. If someone wants to showcase your work in their gallery, store, or restaurant, jump at the opportunity. This is also a good time to submit writing for publication. You may not get paid much at first, but eventually, you can command a handsome price for your labour.

Trust your intuition when it comes to work. Taking a compassionate stance towards a colleague who is always messing up will speak in your favour. Chances are they will get the push anyway, so you won't have to put up with their nonsense any longer. That said you should still treat them with kindness and consideration. Goodness knows how you would react if the tables were turned. Your reputation for being a good team player will result in a raise or promotion.

Taking some advanced classes will put you in contact with people who share your interests and desires. It's such a relief to know you are not the only one who finds certain subjects fascinating.

Sure, you could maintain the status quo, but you'd always regret it later on.

A high powered executive has set their sights on you. It's wonderful to be courted in such a lavish way. You're not sure where this relationship will take you. In the end, you want a partner who will make you laugh and enjoy life. Hitching your star to somebody who is obsessed with work will be an exercise in disaster. Have fun while the sparks fly between you, but refrain from making a serious commitment. Sooner or later, you'll meet someone who is worthy of your love and affection.

When you fall in love, you have a tendency to put your loved one on a pedestal. Beware of this practice, because it will set you up for disappointment. It will also hold your partner to an impossible standard. Take a few steps back and look at your amour objectively. Is it fair to expect them to deal with all the practical matters in your partnership? Maybe you should rearrange things so you can switch duties from week to week.

You're feeling better than you have in a long time, thanks to a fitness regime. Don't be surprised if your love life takes a turn for the better. When you look good, you feel good. If you're single, you could meet someone special at work. The two of you will have to work hard to keep your relationship a secret. If you don't, both of you could be out of a job. Discretion is key now. Maybe this is the push you require to find another position.

A powerful romance is brewing and you can't stop its progress, even if you want to. The pull between you and your amour is irresistible. Suddenly, practical matters that were so important have become insignificant. Relatives and colleagues will wonder what has got into you. Instead of being highly focused and resourceful, you are rather unfocussed and scatterbrained. Let somebody else shoulder all the burdens for a wee while!

Trust your instincts about your family. It may be time to find another work opportunity, one that will keep you closer to your loved ones. It's even possible you'll be able to work out of a home office. The important thing is to spend more time with your nearest and dearest. You need them more than you realise. If you're estranged from your kin, it's time to create a family out of friends and neighbours. Even you need a place where you feel loved and accepted.

This is a great time to advertise your services, launch a blog, or demonstrate your skills. People are very receptive to your talent right now. If you want to start a side business, this would be a good time to do so. Looking for love? You will find it at the cinema, theatre, art gallery or even the disco. The two of you will feel an immediate connection. You'll love the object of your affection's earthy sense of humour, while they'll admire your impressive leadership ability.

Working for a charitable organisation, religious institution, or cultural society will put more money in your pocket. At long last, you'll be able to launch some home repair projects.

If you're not handy with tools now, you soon will be. It's just a matter of taking a class or two.

You're highly attuned to the needs of your relatives and neighbours. Finding a way to make all of your lives easier is your first priority. Whether this means creating a work collective where people rotate unpleasant jobs or finding a way to pool your resources is immaterial. The important thing is to come together to help each other out. In the past, your efforts fell flat, but that's because everyone was too self absorbed to see the big picture. The situation has changed.
