You're determined to get what you want, even if a loved one disapproves of your behaviour. Your best friend or lover says you're being too pushy, but that doesn't bother you. As far as you're concerned, you have to be aggressive to get ahead in this world. This may be true, but not all situations merit a hard sell. Work out whether making a strategic retreat will be more effective. If you're facing stiff competition, you will have to elbow your way to the front of the queue.

You know how to inspire loyalty. An older colleague is making trouble, contradicting everything you do and say. Fortunately, most of your fellow workers are ready to throw their support to you. You're more interested in producing results than arguing over insignificant details. Stay calm in the face of criticism. By pretending nasty comments don't have any effect, your tormentor will get bored and look for another victim. Are you looking for a job? Tell your inner circle to look for a position for you.

You race through errands like a hot knife through butter. It's easy for you to spot little errors and correct them in record time. Despite your impressive performance, you'll have difficulty getting the time off you want. This could be a blessing in disguise. If you wait another few weeks, you'll find a better deal on airfares and hotel rates. Stay positive and look for other opportunities to distinguish yourself at work. Any projects that require close attention to detail are right up your street.

You're the centre of attention, which suits you perfectly. It's fun showing off your talent to an appreciative audience. You have a knack for sizing people up within a few moments. Perceiving their likes, dislikes, and fears makes it easy for you to establish fast friendships. Turn a deaf ear to a cranky relative who is always finding fault with you. They're resentful of your ability to have fun, no matter how much money you make. You don't need to make a fortune to take pleasure from life.

Take this opportunity to motivate a relative who feels depressed. Although your loved one has experienced some tough breaks, they're still quite talented. Urge them to keep pursuing their dreams, even in the face of rejection. Disappointing news about finances makes you reconsider your job path. It may be time to find a position that pays more. If you love what you do, ask your boss for a raise. Alternatively, you could find a part time position to bring in some extra cash.

Make the first move with the object of your affection. You're dealing with someone who is very shy and can't read signals. By making your intentions known, you'll embark on an exciting romance. Money is tight and you won't be able to indulge your love of luxury. Try not to dwell on your disappointment. When you count your blessings, they'll grow and multiply. Are you already in a relationship? Make a gift for your amour with your own two hands.

Take your time with a project, as there is a lot of money at stake. Go over each element of the job in painstaking detail. The results will be impressive. Try not to beat yourself up regarding a painful family issue. A relative needs help you can't give. This is enormously frustrating. Give yourself a break. You can get help from a religious, cultural, or government agency. There's no shame in getting assistance. Let this be a lesson in receiving blessings.

You know what you want and aren't afraid to pursue your dreams. Putting yourself in the path of danger gives you a thrill. This is a great time to enter a contest, audition for a job, or approach a high powered executive for a favour. This isn't a good time to deal with red tape. A bureaucratic agency is giving you the run around. Wait a few days before asking for important documents, or you'll just be banging your head against a brick wall.

Working on behalf of others fills an emotional void. Lately, you've been feeling depressed about the state of the world. Every time you turn on the news, you hear another horror story. By getting involved in a charitable effort, you'll realise many people are working to make the world a better place. A cynical friend will mock your efforts. Don't let their negativity undermine your pleasure. Everybody has different ways of coping with problems. Continue to obey your instincts.

Taking charge of a complicated project is a good use of your leadership ability. You know how to prioritise projects and delegate jobs. You refuse to play favourites and you are willing to make unpopular decisions. An authority figure doesn't approve of your methods, but that's just because they're threatened by your productivity. Don't sit meekly while you're being heaped with scorn. Speaking the truth to those in power will result in a promotion. You can't be weak when you're presiding over a team.

You work hard to realise your career goals. If you haven't been making any headway, try some new tactics. Work as an intern for an executive you've always admired. Apply for a job that is beneath your skill set, just as a means to get your foot in the door. Perform some thankless jobs for your boss. Do whatever you can to get ahead. Someone with lots of experience will be disdainful of your efforts, but most people will admire your initiative.

Getting some exercise will burn off some sexual tension that's been building. You need an outlet for your desires. Going for a brisk walk, jog, or swim will clear your head. You don't have a legal basis for challenging an inheritance or insurance claim. Instead of wasting valuable time and resources on this matter, accept the decision and move on with your life. Friends will be comforting and supportive. Lean on them when depression threatens to engulf you. They'll help you laugh at your predicament.
