Finding ways to exercise your imagination is a worthy endeavour today. Whether you're refinishing old furniture or writing a comedy sketch is immaterial. Your work doesn't have to be sold or marketed; just do it for your own pleasure. You've always been a bit of a pioneer. Go ahead and use materials for different purposes. This is your chance to break the rules!

It may be hard to separate your thoughts from your feelings today. The two are completely intertwined. There's no way you can view a tense situation without getting angry or sad. Similarly, an intense relationship is bound to cloud your thinking. Put off any important decisions for another day, and stop trying to control the situation. Things will work out; they always do. Sometimes you've just got to swim with the tide.

Even though you've always had a wide network of friends, you may want to limit your company today. An intimate lunch with one or two pals will allow you to discuss ideas in a meaningful way. Besides, you're tired of shouting to make yourself heard. If you're looking for work, seek opportunities related to property investment or career counselling. Such jobs will give you contact with the public in a stimulating way.

If you're struggling with work, it's important to remember money isn't everything. A job that makes you feel tense, demoralised and sick with worry is not worth keeping. It may be better to quit without having another position waiting, just for the sake of your health. Running your own business will allow you to make money by doing something you love. If that's not an option, think about getting some vocational training.

You're profoundly influenced by your environment right now. Therefore, it's essential you are careful about the company you keep. Being surrounded by negative people will discourage you from pursuing your dreams. Seek out enthusiastic go-getters who are eager to provide you with emotional and practical help. Reciting affirmations to yourself in the mirror is also a valuable exercise. Sounds corny, but it's true.

The secret to realising your dreams is believing that you are worthy of them. These days, people tend to believe that you can't be successful unless you've suffered and sacrificed. Actually, that's not the case. Taking pleasure in routine chores will fuel your desire to realise bigger and better goals. It's hard to get motivated when you are miserable. Stop postponing your happiness for the future. Do something nice for yourself once a day.

You may feel torn between a desire for stability and a wish for creative fulfilment. It's possible to have both, so long as you make a careful plan. For instance, putting a little away each week in order to build a nest egg. This savings account can help fund art classes, projects and business ventures related to your dream. Make an investment in your dreams.

A cherished dream may take years of work before it is realised. Don't let that deter you. You've been blessed with incredible willpower. Draw on your grit and determination to achieve the career you've always wanted. Some people will think you're crazy to embark on such an adventure, but you've never played it safe. Why start now? Ultimately, the journey is more important than the destination. Have a fun trip!

Despite your happy-go-lucky persona, you're a very philosophical person. Discussing the big issues of life comes as a welcome respite from your usual light-hearted banter. If you're single, there's a chance you will meet a lover who shares your interest in religion, philosophy and history. The prospect of settling down won't seem so scary once you join forces with this person. The two of you are a match made in heaven.

It may be hard for you to handle difficult people right now. Instead of trying to change their behaviour, walk away and leave them to their own devices. You've got bigger fish to fry today! Spending time with a lover or friend who understands your sense of humour will come as a real relief. Too often, strangers think that you are terribly serious, when you are really exercising your dry wit.

Developing your creative potential can be difficult when you're operating in a vacuum. Ask a respected friend for help if you feel adrift. This person's constructive criticisms can prompt you to turn a corner. The two of you may even decide to collaborate on a project together. Normally, you prefer acting alone. Today you'll see the merits of having a sounding board. It's all a matter of finding someone you can trust.

Your adaptable nature helps you find work in any given economy or industry. If you're not happy with your current job, look around for other ways to make money. You always do well in the entertainment industry. Service oriented positions are also favoured. The key to your success is finding a situation that is never routine. The more varied the responsibilities, the better you will perform. Leave the dull jobs for another day.
