Don't stick your nose where it doesn't belong. Although you're intrigued by a mysterious newcomer, they have no intention on revealing the details of their private life. Give them the space they want. If they decide you are trustworthy, you will be welcomed into their inner circle. Until that time, keep busy with your own work. It's possible you'll come across some classified documents or valuable possessions. Return these items to the rightful owner as soon as possible. Don't rifle through them.

You've been blessed with tremendous creative talent. Letting it lay dormant is a terrible mistake. Putting too much emphasis on duty will undermine your desire to create. Earning money to pay the bills is all well and good, but you aren't a machine. You must have opportunities to explore intriguing ideas and make things of beauty. Devote an hour each day to writing, painting, playing music or handicrafts. The sadness that has been dogging you will be replaced by pure joy.

Although your diligent attitude towards work is admirable, it can be taken too far. Instead of pouring all your energy into a job, balance your professional life with pleasurable pursuits. Plan a trip, meet a friend for lunch or spend the night reading a good book. The more time you make for leisurely activities, the more productive you will become. That's because it's easy to give your best at work when you feel fulfilled. Replenish your emotional life with love, laughter and enjoyment.

Don't let pride get in the way of accepting help. Someone who has been offering to assist you with a job search, household project or medical problem is sincere. Stop turning away these generous offers. The sooner you become receptive to positive energy, the faster it will multiply and grow. You're used to showering others with love and affection. Change the dynamic and welcome this care into your life. This change in attitude will trigger powerful changes. Prepare to be empowered.

You feel your beliefs are superior to others. This is undermining what should be rewarding relationships. The next time you are tempted to pass judgement on someone, suppress this impulse. Instead, keep an open mind. Focus on the things you appreciate about this friend, colleague or relative. When you look for the good in others, you will surely find it. Ignore the fear that your principles will be compromised by mixing with others who have different values. You'll remain true to the ideals that give your life meaning.

Overanalysing a problem will make it more difficult to overcome. Instead of continually weighing the pros and cons of a decision, listen to your gut. It will point you in the right direction. If you choose the path that goes against conventional wisdom, don't worry. You'll quickly see the benefit of this choice. You've been blessed with a sharp intellect, but it sometimes gets in the way of obeying your desires. Stop insisting you don't deserve to be happy. Nothing could be further from the truth.

An excessive appetite for material goods will cause you to overspend if you are not careful. Make it your mission to be as resourceful as possible in the foreseeable future. If you catch sight of a beautiful luxury item that tugs at your heartstrings, put it on the backburner. You'll be able to purchase it after you've built up some savings. There's even a chance you'll be able to buy this bauble at a discount when it is suddenly put on sale.

If there's anything you hate, it's being forced to play by the rules. The temptation to rebel is strong. Resist it. By establishing yourself as a team player, you'll pave the way for a happier, healthier home life. Do your best to accommodate a relative with special needs. By showing respect for their situation, your relationship will dramatically improve. The petty quarrels that once pulled you apart will vanish into thin air, to be replaced by feelings of mutual appreciation.

It isn't enough to dream about your goals; you must take steps to put them into practice. Stop listening to your inner critic. It is fully invested in maintaining the status quo. Refusing to make changes will keep you stuck in your present circumstance. Give yourself a push and do one thing to draw closer to your goal. It could be anything from making an appointment with a counsellor to taking out a gym membership to making a preliminary sketch. Just do it.

Your ideas conflict sharply with the people in power. Don't let this deter you from developing visionary concepts. Despite breaking away from the pack, you are still very practical. When you put your mind to it, you will discover ways to turn improbable dreams into living realities. Turn a deaf ear to naysayers. After being rejected by a potential backer, move on to the next likely prospect. Your diligence will be rewarded in powerful and exciting ways.

The ends do not justify the means. You're tempted to do something underhanded to achieve your goals. While this impulse is understandable, you should ignore it. The last thing you want is to venture down this dangerous path. Someone who discovers your treachery will reveal it to the world. Your reputation may never recover. Follow the rules, even if they put you at a disadvantage. If you fall short of the mark this time, remain philosophical. You will have learned something valuable that contributes to your ultimate success.

Beware of a tendency to exaggerate. You're very excited about a new prospect, but it hasn't come to fruition yet. Put your energy into turning a theoretical plan into a productive project. This may involve doing research, saving money or finding a work space. To get this concept off the ground you must do whatever is necessary. You'll be able to share the good news later, when you've laid the groundwork for a successful operation. Be patient and stay positive. The best is yet to be.
