Stop underestimating your creative potential, or you'll be doing yourself a great disservice. Having an artistic outlet allows your subconscious to find exciting solutions to stubborn problems. Get into the habit of spending half an hour each day on an arts and crafts project. You'll soon assume an attractive glow that is most exciting. Don't be surprised when people start propositioning you. You're never sexier than when you're doing something you love.

Coming to terms with painful emotions is never easy, but it is necessary. The longer you ignore this situation, the more it prevents you from starting in a new direction. What you need is a change of scenery. Arrange a fun day trip and ask a friend to join you. You'll be astounded at how quickly things improve when you escape from the daily grind. Give an aloof lover a taste of their own medicine.

Winning approval from your superiors may be an exercise in futility. You're better off keeping your head down and doing the best job possible. Colleagues may be a bit nasty, owing to increased demands from the top. Resist the urge to overdo it at the gym, as you are vulnerable to stress injuries. Gentle activities like yoga and tai chi are far better than strenuous ones like running and weight lifting. Be good to yourself.

You're not in the mood to take risks now, preferring to channel your money into conservative ventures. And while it's perfectly understandable that you don't want to gamble your hard-earned money away, it is important to seek adventure in other areas of life.

You've got a wonderfully vivid imagination, which can be either a help or a hindrance. It's great if you channel your creativity into an ambitious project like a play, concert, or book. Having something to show for your efforts will cause your confidence to soar. You should be wary, though, of wasting valuable time through endless daydreaming. Escaping to a fantasy world prevents you from dealing with very real problems, especially where money is concerned.

Don't feel obligated to people who keep taking advantage of you. Yes, they may have thrown you a few crumbs now and then, but that's not a good enough reason to be at their beck and call. Miscommunications abound with relatives and neighbours. If you feel attacked or insulted by an offhand remark, wait a few days before responding. You'll want a cool head for coping with this situation, and today will prove too stressful.

Ignorance may be bliss, but it puts you at a distinct disadvantage. Go ahead and enrol on a course if you feel the competition is well ahead of you.

Refuse to fall victim to a child's manipulations. It's your job as the adult to enforce discipline.

You're more accomplished than others give you credit for, which is frustrating. Instead of tying your luck with other people's ventures, why not go into business for yourself? You're certainly resourceful enough to do so. Creating a well ordered home office is half the battle. Turn a deaf ear to pessimistic relatives who think your plans are daft. They're just jealous to see you taking control of your destiny.

Maintaining a high standard of ethics is the key to dealing with would-be enemies. You wouldn't want to give these people any ammunition right now. The more stellar your reputation, the easier it will be to overcome obstacles that are thrown in your path. An intense person who seems to want to destroy you is really battling their own demons. By confronting this person in a public place, your rival will soon back down.

You're extremely attuned to other people's moods right now, sometimes at the expense of your own health. If you can't bear to be in the company of a pessimist, head off to some private island. A cherished goal seems farther away than ever. Before you give up all hope, create a momentary diversion. Sometimes focusing on a dilemma only makes it worse. A change of scenery will cause your problem solving skills to come rushing back.

Authority figures aren't in the best mood, so take care not to upset them. Your visionary ways won't sit well with a conservative executive.

Schedule a trip to an exotic land that you've always wanted to visit. You'll find good fares.
