Beware of making friends with a woman solely on the basis of what she can do for you or you'll look like an opportunist. There are better ways to climb the ladder of success. Fortunately, ideas for making money will come fast and furious between now and mid-May. Business investments related to art, fashion, or property are especially favoured. A child's progress is something to cheer about. Arrange a fun celebration for the family.

Beware of spending too much money on social pursuits. Trying to keep up with posh friends could be an exercise in futility. Be honest about your financial situation. You may be surprised to discover other members of your party have similar troubles. Getting your ideas across will be no trouble over the next three weeks. Everybody will be receptive to what you have to say. This is a great time to go on auditions, interviews, and dates.

Don't make any coarse remarks or jokes in a public setting, even if others are. Crass words will damage your hard earned reputation. Being the one tactful person in a sea of boors will open doors for you. It may be best to listen more than you speak for the next few weeks. This could be difficult for a reactive person like you, but it's really the wisest course of action. A weighty writing project brings out the best in you.

No matter how hard you try, you may not be able to protect your privacy today. Someone with a foreign background may not understand your physical cues, and will continually hang around your office or rifle through your papers. You'll have to be a lot more direct if you're going to drive this person away. Despite your love of solitude, your social life is about to pick up. Doing business with a friend may yield a handsome profit between now and mid-May.

Casual sex could get you into lots of trouble if you're not careful. What you think is a light hearted coupling could be interpreted as a serious commitment. Beware of making any romantic overtures towards a friend. Increasing your knowledge will help your career prospects. This would be a good time to take a course in financial management. A large group could nominate you as its leader. This could be an enjoyable and exciting assignment. It's especially fun to work with such creative people.

Focusing on money could drive a wedge between you and a lover. Your partner may have experienced a terrible emotional shock. Offering reassurance should be your first priority. There will be plenty of time to sort out the financial ramifications of this situation. Going on an extended trip could inspire you to take a different approach to your goals. There are many ways to get your point across. A spiritual practice lends weight to your words.

Don't give your honest opinion, even if someone asks for it. A blunt remark could cause terrible offence to a colleague. You're better off giving noncommittal responses to their questions. You may feel like a hypocrite, but that's better than hurting your colleague's feelings. The best way to seduce a love interest is by appealing to their intellect. Read up on your amour's favourite subjects. Your intelligent insights will make a terrific impression. An older friend will recommend an enlightening book or movie.

Beware of using your sex appeal to gain control over a person's finances. This kind of devious behaviour will inevitably backfire. An irresistible attraction towards a rebellious artist should be fought at all costs. This person means nothing but trouble for you. On the plus side, you could meet someone who stimulates your imagination between now and mid-May and while this person may not be your type, you could develop strong feelings for each other. A big age difference works in your favour.

Although you've never been too worried about what other people think or say, that could all change today. A forbidding parent's voice could be ringing in your head. Stop to think how ridiculous this attitude really is. Deep down inside, you know it's better to follow your heart than to win public approval. The next three weeks are ideal for finding a new job. Explore opportunities related to luxury goods. Your employer may be able to help you earn an advanced degree.

Take extra pains with your appearance, even if you want to sit about in your pyjamas all day. Someone could drop in quite unexpectedly. Ideas for creative projects are coming fast and furious.

Think carefully before acting on your feelings. Your job could be at stake.

A sudden change of fortune could force you to cancel a trip and while this comes as a bitter disappointment, there is little else you can do. A relative has profound words of wisdom and even though you're not in the mood for a pep talk, you should listen very carefully to this advice. A business or romantic partner lends welcome stability to your life. Even an independent character like you needs someone upon whom you can rely.

Your erratic behaviour could really hurt someone's feelings today. This woman is only trying to help. Accusing her of interference is discounting all the kind acts she has performed in the past. Issue an immediate and sincere apology. Fortunately, your words will assume a softer edge over the next three weeks. It may be because you're finally settling into a familiar routine. Working on projects of long lasting value will prove emotionally satisfying. Ironically, the woman who now irritates you will become your biggest fan.
