It's important to take your creative abilities seriously, as they are integral to your personal success. In the past, you looked at a desire to paint, act, or write as a mere distraction from responsibility. Now you see you're much more productive when you have an artistic outlet. There's even a chance you could earn a handsome living through creative pursuits. Don't abandon your efforts if they aren't immediately satisfying.

Recently, you've been working through some emotional difficulties and while the process hasn't been pleasant, it has been rewarding. You're about to experience a terrific breakthrough today, one that affords you more independence. Now, instead of looking to your family for affirmation, you're able to trust your instincts. This trend will serve you well in virtually every area: work, romance, and friendship.

If you're going to enter into an agreement put it in writing. There's never been a better time to sign a contract. Be very precise about what you want, and how goods should be delivered. Business activities related to advertising, writing, and teaching are also favoured. If you're looking for a job, it would be wise to pursue such opportunities. This is also a good time to launch a website or start a book.

You've always been shrewd when it comes to business matters, and that's especially true today. Even if you are presented with what seems like a fabulous offer, hold out for a better one. The fact is you have more power than you realise. The opposition will try to make you feel guilty about driving such a hard bargain, but don't take the bait. If given a choice between earning a flat sum and a commission, chose the former.

Assuming the lion's share of responsibility will ultimately work in your favour. That's because while everybody else is relaxing and having fun, you'll be acquiring valuable skills. Don't hesitate to learn a new language, travel for business, or undertake a legal challenge. You'll become much more self reliant as a result. Too often, people assume you're just a pretty face. This is your chance to prove them wrong, for once and for all.

Working with a large institution like a hospital, university, or religious organisation will prove fulfilling. You've never been the kind of person who could do a job for mere money. There has to be some meaning to your labour. Make it your mission to assist others in small ways, whether it's offering a smile, word of encouragement, or glass of water. Even the tiniest gesture can make a huge difference, both to you and the recipient of your kindness.

Seeking out important and influential people can really strengthen your position. Sometimes it's not what you know, but who you know that makes the difference. There's a good chance you'll find romance along the way. Keep your eyes open for a bold daredevil who doesn't censor their words. In the event you already have a lover, offer your support regarding a cherished goal. It doesn't matter whether you think this venture is worth.

Hard work has advanced your career, and rightfully so. Nobody could ever accuse you of advancing through personal connections. You can do the job of three people, and often have. The result could be an award, promotion, or rise. If you aren't satisfied with your current employer, you could find a prestigious position in another organisation. Present yourself as somebody who is willing to roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty.

Your reputation as an ethical person helps attract romance. Don't resort to underhanded ways, even if you think it's the only way to win someone's heart. Actually, you'll make much more progress if you obey your conscience. If you're already in a committed relationship, you may have to call your partner's attention to a lapse in judgment. Be as compassionate as you possibly can, but stand firm in your convictions your mate could do something he or she will later regret.

Attending to shared resources puts your mind at ease. This is a wonderful day to make out a will, open a retirement fund, or start an investment portfolio. Even the smallest step towards financial security will pay off handsomely. You're not the type of person who can thrive in an uncertain environment. Look at this move as an investment in your future. As soon as you demonstrate faith in your abilities, others will follow suit.

There's never been a better time to form a serious partnership. You work best with someone who trusts their heart over their head. This person provides a wonderful counterbalance to your logical approach. Businesses related to banking, manufacturing, and property management are especially favoured. If you're studying, don't be surprised if you develop a sexual attraction for your instructor. The best part is that the feeling will be mutual.

Acquiring a specialised skill will pay off well into the future. There's never been a better time to learn something practical, whether it's growing food, making clothes, or building houses. This knowledge will make you even more valuable to both social and professional circles. Too often, people write you off as a silly dreamer. This is your chance to prove them wrong and working with your hands could inspire you to begin an exciting new art project.
