Someone who challenges your every statement could is really expressing their admiration for you. And while their attention is flattering, your heart probably belongs to another. Be honest about your loyalties, even if your admirer hasn't confessed their feelings. Mixed signals are always a problem when Mars, your ruling planet, pairs with deceptive Neptune.

A friend's mysterious behaviour could make you question the very nature of your relationship. The fact is, this person may have some deeply held secrets that are coming to the surface just now. Your willingness to give others the benefit of the doubt could come back to haunt you. Be more careful in the future.

Getting a better deal on a loan could be possible if you're willing to do some research. You owe it to yourself to make the most of your hard-earned money. A financially savvy person could give you the advice you need. Take care not to get yourself into more debt after you've improved your current situation.

Sharing a mutual interest with a neighbour could prompt you into forming a joint business. There's no reason you can't capitalise on your leadership ability at this stage of the game. Beware, though, of taking on too much responsibility. After all, this should be a means to create more leisure time for yourself. Stay balanced.

Don't take it as an insult if somebody asks you to learn a new skill; this could be a blessing in disguise. The more you know, the more valuable you are to the entire organisation. Besides, the lessons you learn could come in handy with a romantic relationship. You have to admit that this area of your life could stand some improvement.

Some big changes in your neighbourhood could have some unexpected advantages for you. Don't be so eager to fight the transitions that are complicating your life. Starting a new fitness regimen will make you more physically and emotionally flexible. Aren't you getting sick of the same old pattern, anyway? Predictability is highly overrated.

You're even more creative than usual, and find some inventive solutions to stubborn problems at work. Others may find madness in your methods, but a prominent authority figure will be suitably impressed. Don't let an aggressive suitor pressure you into making a date. The less you see of this person, the better.

Your perceptions are right on target, especially when it comes to investments. Take this opportunity to increase your long-term financial prospects, even if it means a temporary sacrifice. Family matters may keep you close to home, but be sure to get out with friends later in the week. Your sanity is at stake!

Tuning in to other people's feelings is the fastest way to get what you want. There's no harm in doing good deeds for selfish motives. It's when you engage in underhanded activities that the trouble begins. A mysterious newcomer to your social circle could capture your fancy. Watch your step -- this person's a live wire!

You may have to corner someone about a financial promise they made some time ago. Don't be afraid to give this person an ultimatum if they're unresponsive to your demands. This could mark the end of your relationship, but that's probably a good thing. After all, with friends like these, who needs enemies?

Your outward appearance is a reflection of who you are on the inside; dress like you feel. You'll be amazed at how much more creative you are when you feel comfortable with the image you present to the world. Yes, some may raise their eyebrows at your wardrobe, but who cares? You've never been a slave to conformity.

Neptune, your ruling planet, has joined forces with aggressive Mars, giving you headway in your career. Stop letting others who are less capable than you grab all the good jobs. Sometimes you've got to push and shove to get what you want. Others see your eagerness to please as a sign of weakness. Erase the image from their minds forever.
