Defending the underdog is a smart course of action. Although you're in a safe position, that doesn't make you immune to injustice. You may have to be a spokesperson for others and explain how a policy decision is affecting morale. You'll probably be branded a troublemaker, but that won't trouble you too much. It's better to be a squeaky wheel than a cog in the machine. After repeated threats to call the media, you will find that people will rather ungraciously put things right.

You are aware of your true worth, which commands respect and admiration. Some people mistake your confidence for egotism. Nothing could be further from the truth. You're an old soul who understands how the world works. When you treat yourself like royalty, others will follow suit. It becomes easier to meet your objectives when you believe in yourself. Have you embarked on a new challenge? Be patient when things go wrong and remember each misstep is a learning opportunity.

Practicing patience is the key to your success. This is quite difficult for someone with your short attention span. Keep calm and don't panic. Instead of feeling pressured to react to every news story, breathe deep. Give yourself two hours to process this information. Respond in a thoughtful, compassionate manner, even if you're angry. People will notice the difference in your attitude and marvel over it. Instead of creating drama, you'll be cultivating calm. It's a nice change that benefits everyone.

Put your faith in someone who has never let you down. Although you pride yourself on self-sufficiency, it isn't always possible to go solo. Whether you're recovering from an illness, dealing with an impossible workload or undergoing a personal transformation, it's important to ask for help. A fun-loving friend who doesn't take life too seriously may be your perfect helpmate. Instead of complaining about the extra responsibilities, they'll laugh at the situation, dispatching duties with good humour.

Communing with nature will be therapeutic. You've been deliberating over an important decision and have no idea which way to go. Rather than asking others for advice, turn your attention inward. Walking through the forest, down the beach or through a garden will tune out distractions. At long last, you'll be able to hear your inner voice. Don't be surprised when you get a clear, forceful message about which direction to take. Resist the impulse to overanalyse this thought. Just go with it; you won't be sorry.

You've been blessed with a keen intellect. Acquiring valuable skills and knowledge is a great use of your big brain. When you feel tired and anxious, it's probably because you crave intellectual stimulation. Having a demanding job isn't enough for you. An engrossing hobby will make you happy, regardless of what is happening in your professional life. A multitalented person like you should never settle for being a one trick pony. Branch out. Pursue a pastime that has nothing to do with your job.

When in doubt, adopt an optimistic outlook. Generating positive energy will attract the same. Although you don't know what the future holds, you might as well assume it is golden. Entertaining gloomy thoughts and stubborn fears will drive opportunity from your door. Even if you do encounter disappointment, it will be minor. It's much easier to recover from setbacks when you believe the Universe is generous and beneficent. If you're in a blue mood that will not lift, listen to upbeat music.

Put your trust in someone who has never let you down. You may not realise it, but demonstrating faith in their ability will empower your friend to achieve a lofty goal. You don't suffer fools gladly, as members of your inner circle understand. Despite being members of this exclusive club, your close friends are often unaware of your admiration for them. When you do approve of their work, it's like getting a green light from heaven. Offer detailed praise of a student or artist's progress.

You have a marvellous opportunity to study with a talented teacher. Although you've developed impressive techniques of your own, it's important to put them aside for the sake of learning. Instead of questioning your instructor's suggestions, lean into them. See what happens when you approach work from a completely different angle. At least one brilliant breakthrough will occur, allowing you to advance by several levels. A new series of sketches, designs or songs will attract a big fan base.

Trust your instincts about a relative. They are behaving strangely out of fear. Your decision to pursue a dream makes them uncomfortable. They're afraid what will happen when you shake up the status quo. Don't feel guilty about pursuing your dream. When you act from good motives, the outcome is always going to be good. Feel free to adopt a lower profile, move to a more tranquil area or adopt a spiritual practice. Obey a desire to escape the spotlight. You don't need lots of attention to be content.

Working with a large group will be as easy as breathing. That's because you don't judge people on appearances; you assess their ideas. Someone who has a brilliant concept for a neighbourhood project should be championed. With you backing their proposal, there will be a chance to implement it. That's because you know how to talk to officials. Instead of appealing to their conscience, you're able to show them the social, political and financial benefit to any suggestion.

Your belief in the power of love takes you to new heights. When an exciting position opens at work, put in an application and hope for the best. Instead of trying to make yourself look great at the expense of others, let your contributions speak for themselves. A rival who feels threatened will try to advance their prospects by putting you down. People will have no difficulty at all in seeing right through their underhanded behaviour. You'll be awarded the job, renewing your faith in humanity.
