A stalled conversation with a neighbour or sibling could begin again today. The nagging details that once held you prisoner have finally been resolved, allowing you to move forward with some fun plans. Going on a trip, writing an article, or taking a course are all possibilities again. Convincing a friend to join you should be no trouble at all. You've never been so persuasive. Throw your charms into high gear.

A luxurious purchase you've been dreaming about is finally within arm's reach. Go ahead and treat yourself, even if onlookers criticise your extravagance. Spending money on yourself is a sign of self-respect. Of course, you should make sure your purchases afford you lots of genuine pleasure. Buying status symbols to impress others isn't nearly as satisfying as owning something you really love. Be selective and thoughtful about what you acquire.

People are drawn to you like a moth to a flame; it's never been easier to generate romantic interest. Someone who once seemed interested could renew their attentions, but don't give this person the time of day. Devote your energies to a person who is tenacious in their affections. If you're already in a relationship, this is a great time to talk your lover into an arrangement they've resisted before.

A secret love affair puts a spring in your step and a song in your heart. You adore sneaking off to be with your beloved. Of course, this could be a problem if either one of you is already in a committed relationship. Don't let your passion cloud your judgment. The longer this deception goes on, the harder it will be to sustain your passion for one another. Go public in early August.

A friendship could turn into a romance with very little effort. It's no surprise that you're drawn to a friendly chatterbox; the two of you have plenty in common. Before you act on your feelings consider how such a relationship will affect your social circle. The rest of the gang may have a hard time accepting this different dynamic. Be prepared to navigate some rough waters if you're going to embark on this affair.

It will be easy to charm your way to the top, as you have great instincts as to what your boss needs to hear. Don't hesitate to negotiate a better deal if you're handed one that doesn't meet your needs. People will bend over backwards to accommodate you. If you're looking for work, this is an excellent time to send out CV's and conduct job interviews. Female authority figures will open doors for you.

You've always been fascinated by foreign cultures, and that's especially true today. The prospect of going on an extended journey fills you with excitement. You're sure to attract lots of romantic attention on this trip, probably because you're so open to new ideas. If you've already got a lover, turn this holiday into a second honeymoon of sorts. The exotic surroundings will inspire plenty of passion, particularly if you pack some sexy underclothes.

Your sensual nature is evident for everyone to see; you simply ooze sex! If you have a partner, you may want to head for some secluded love nest where you can express your lust for one another. If you're single, you will be tempted to have some torrid flings. Take plenty of health precautions when satisfying your needs. Just because you have powerful impulses doesn't mean you have to subject yourself to danger.

Being sweet and attentive to your partner's needs will thaw any frost that has developed between you. It's hard for an independent person like you to give up their habits in order to satisfy somebody else. You've got to consider, though, how this behaviour reflects your underlying attitude towards romance. What is more important, having your way or pleasing your beloved? Don't be stubborn just to satisfy your ego. The price is too steep.

Go out of your way to help colleagues who are struggling under a mountain of work. While it's true you're more efficient and responsible, you still need to maintain good relationships with your co-workers. You never know when you're going to want their help in a moment of crisis. Besides, it's much easier to produce good work when you are operating in a pleasant environment. Cooperation creates good working conditions.

Romance pursues you doggedly between now and early August. It's futile to resist, so why not yield to this magnetic pull? Someone with an insatiable curiosity for life could express interest in you. Resist the urge to play the aloof rebel; open your heart instead. You may be astonished at how quickly you become attached to this person. You're not as immune to courtship as you think. Let yourself be wined and dined.

Domestic bliss is restored when you put your differences aside with a housemate or relative. You're starting to realise you don't have to win every argument in order to earn respect. It's also important to express appreciation for kind gestures that you often take for granted. If you live alone, you could combine households with someone close to your heart. Granted, this is a big leap, but it's one you're more than ready to take.
