Trust your intuition with regard to family matters. Your household is undergoing some surprising changes, and there may not be precedent for dealing with particular issues. In situations like these, you need to summon your leadership power. By asserting your authority, relatives and roommates will follow your lead. Granted, they may grumble a bit, but you've never been afraid to make unpopular decisions. It's more important to be effective than loved right now.

Joining an organisation will put you in contact with influential people. Although your new contacts seem offbeat, they're actually quite respected in the professional world. Just because someone wears scruffy clothes or has unorthodox habits doesn't mean they are outsiders. Work to make friends with everyone you meet. Don't be shy about asking for a reference or letter of recommendation. Bold moves pay off handsomely.

An original idea for making money is worth pursuing. Your inventive approach wins the public's approval, which is the most surprising part of this endeavour. In the past, you were penalised for putting a distinctive stamp on work, but now you're being congratulated for marching to the beat of your own drum. Don't bother analysing the situation; just embrace your good fortune. This job will be a springboard to future successes.

Your passion for a particular subject opens doors. Hiding your excitement beneath a veneer of sophistication is a mistake. If somebody inquires after your favourite hobbies, give an enthusiastic response. You could be offered an apprenticeship or money for training. Anything is possible on a day like today. The chance to travel abroad is in the cards. If you've been toying with the idea of taking a trip, book your tickets now.

You could gain insight into how favours are granted in a financial situation. This is your big chance to get the funding you need for a project. Alternatively, you could find an institution willing to issue an insurance policy, even if you've had trouble getting coverage in the past. Jump on this opportunity as soon as it is presented, or you will live to regret it. The secret to your success is assuming an air of importance.

Friends give you much needed support right now. If you've been thinking of taking on an unconventional partner, follow your gut. Society may not approve, but your nearest and dearest will. In time, onlookers will realise you made a very wise move. Until then, keep your head high and stand by your associate. Together, you could build a great business, marriage, or both. The best things in life usually involve sacrifice.

Listen to your heart instead of your head with regard to a career concern. You may be handed some unusual duties. Instead of balking at this assignment, dive into it. Your devil may care approach will yield impressive results. If you're looking for employment, think about entering a field you've never tried before. Your lack of experience could be a blessing in disguise. You'll be able to come up with innovative methods to save time and money.

This is a great day to express your creativity, particularly if it's in an unconventional way. Putting a refreshing twist on old forms gives you a great deal of satisfaction. It's fun to thumb your nose at the establishment that held you prisoner. You get lots of great ideas from foreign cultures. Strolling through a museum or looking through an art book could inspire you. Feel free to put your work responsibilities on the back burner.

You could get financing for a home improvement project. It's all a matter of making an emotional appeal to a lending institution. You have the power to melt even the hardest heart today. Adding a new member to your household is another possibility. This is a great time to interview potential roommates. Adopting a child or taking an elderly relative are other possibilities. You thrive on having lots of people around you.

Be kind and generous towards a partner today as your support will help this person move mountains. Naturally, any success your friend experiences will spill over onto you. Going on a short trip for pleasure or being given the gift of an iPod are among the possibilities. Be sure to follow up on a book or movie recommendation. This material could inspire you to create something useful and beautiful. You're a lot more imaginative than you think.

You're not the type of person who can excel at any old job. You have to feel passionately about work. Humanitarian endeavours have always held special appeal for you. Technology also appeals to your scientific mind. No matter what industry you enter, make sure it tugs at your heart. Working on a commission basis could be more profitable than earning a flat salary. Turn a deaf ear to family members who think you should find a conventional position.

Fitting in with the crowd is an exercise in disaster for you. It's always better for you to set yourself apart from the crowd. Wearing something eye catching to a party will attract lots of admiring glances and while you will have your pick of the litter, you'll probably be drawn to the shyest member of the group. You'll have to work to win this person's heart. Happily, this is just the sort of challenge you enjoy.
