A passionate love affair makes you feel like you're walking on air. You want to spend every last minute with your amour. Resist the temptation to skip a friend's celebration. Missing their birthday or graduation party will hurt their feelings. Romance can cloud your thinking, causing you to unwittingly behave in an inconsiderate matter. If you're single, you'll meet someone special at a career related function. Look your best at a professional gathering. This is one time you can mix work with pleasure.

People gravitate to you because you are calm, tolerant and gentle. Instead of trying to shove your agenda down everyone's throats, you're willing to compromise. A pushy person will mistake your cooperative attitude for compliance. If they try to impose their will onto you in an oppressive manner, speak up. It's important to stand up for your interests, even if it means getting loud and confrontational. It takes a lot to get under your skin, but when it happens, the fallout is dramatic.

When it comes to making a decision, listen to your head instead of your heart. Someone is trying to push you down a path that doesn't appeal to you. Although you'd love to win favour with this charismatic individual, you must be true to yourself. Your career prospects are excellent. By pouring your energy into work, you'll be able to keep guilty feelings at bay. Money from an investment, dividend or royalty cheque will give you the funds to pursue a hobby that really interests you. Have fun.

You have a strong desire for recognition and acceptance. Beware of going against your conscience to please a demanding person. You have a strong moral code. Let it be your guide in all things. When this charismatic person realises you are true to your values, they will back away. This is a good thing. Manipulators are always looking for weak minded people to do their bidding. Although you will regret the loss of this friendship, you'll later realise you dodged a bullet here.

A warm, generous person like you never lacks for friends. Sometimes your extensive social network is frustrating for your romantic partner. Set aside more time for loved ones. Although you hate to miss all the parties, picnics and outings that normally crowd your schedule, don't panic. Invitations will continue to pour in. By adjusting your priorities you'll enjoy a much more comfortable home life. Are you single? Don't feel pressured to relinquish your freedom just to fit in with the crowd.

You're very faithful to friends. Unfortunately, a colleague who has been involved in some nefarious activity will ask you to vouch for their character. Be wary about giving them a reference. Your own reputation will be tarnished by their bad behaviour. Although you want to give your fellow worker the benefit of the doubt, they aren't worthy of your trust. Do some independent research to verify whether certain rumours are true. You will be dismayed to discover these negative stories are true.

A moneymaking opportunity is coming your way. The prospect of venturing into unfamiliar territory is scary. Instead of giving into your fears, ask an experienced friend for advice. Someone who has an impressive background in science, research and development will be able to accurately assess the worth of an investment. By listening to their advice, your income will rise dramatically. Use this money to make extensive home improvements. Upgrading the plumbing or electrical system will increase the value of your home.

You welcome a challenge from a worthy opponent, but there is a fine line between debate and abuse. A relative who keeps challenging your political assertions should be put in their place. You have no problem discussing issues in a logical manner. If a talk devolves into name calling, it's time to walk away. An exciting new project is on the horizon. Instead of dwelling over all the tension on the family front, you'll be able to focus on this creative venture.

Trust your perceptions, especially about friends. Someone is putting on a brave act, even though they are suffering in silence. Reach out to them. You may be bitterly rejected at first. Don't take it personally. Eventually, you'll see your loved one's defences come down. At that point, they'll apologise and come clean about their problems. You will be able to give some financial assistance. Give this money as a gift, not a loan. This will save your friendship from unnecessary tension.

Keep an open mind when faced with challenges. Instead of taking the conventional route, it will serve you better to take an unusual approach to a conflict. Are you struggling to make ends meet? Instead of worrying about finances, begin giving thanks for the blessings you enjoy on a daily basis. Say a prayer of gratitude each time you enjoy a meal. Celebrate the comfort of a soft bed, a roof over your head and loving relationships. Gratitude cultivates abundance.

Your management skills are very strong. If someone challenges your authority, stay calm. Understand you are dealing with someone who is jealous of your power. By exercising grace under fire, you'll win the confidence of an influential executive. Don't be surprised when you're put in charge of a discretionary fund. Your supervisor trusts you to get the best value for this money. Instead of carrying out routines that waste time and money, you'll find better ways to execute tasks in a cost saving manner.

You're both scared and exhilarated about an upcoming trip. A good way to ease your anxiety is to make plans for when you're away. Hire a pet sitter, pay your bills and get someone to cover for you at work. Each task you cross off your 'To Do' list will make you more and more confident. By the time you pack your bags, all your fears will have vanished into thin air. If you're going on a trip with a friend, ask them to create an itinerary.
