To accomplish an ambition, you're going to have to put your money where your mouth is. Specifically, you must establish that you really are an expert in a particular field or subject. It's a good idea to brush up on any areas that are a wee bit hazy or foggy or you could be caught stumbling for answers when you should be dazzling the crowd. Don't be insulted by the public's scepticism; this is a great chance for you to show off!

Memories you thought were long forgotten begin to bubble to the surface opening up your heart. You're also starting to see why money has always been so important to you. Don't repeat your parents' mistakes with regard to spending. Being too rigid with cash will deprive you of the luxury you deserve, whilst acting carelessly can undermine your future security. You must adopt a more balanced approach towards your income and what you possess.

Making promises to a loved one is all well and good but you need to follow through on them. You have such noble intentions, but you tend to forget your vows moments after you pledge them. Before you get lured away to a friendly social gathering, stop and think about how your partner will feel. Maybe it would be better to spend a quiet evening together. There will be time for festivities later but for now massage their emotions. You'll soon see what priority they have in your life as to what you decide to do - go out or stay in.

Staying focused on the day-to-day is will wear away at your spirituality leaving you ill at ease. Sometimes you have to let work take a back seat in favour of pursuits that will uplift and inspire you. Take a walk through the park, pause to admire the sunset, or visit a house of worship. Once you shift your gaze, you will be delighted to find that the mundane aspects of your everyday life gives way to more exciting pursuits and happier routines.

Enjoy yourself and have fun but friends need your time and attention too. Tear yourself away from the festivities in order to attend to a dear one's needs. A partner or relative helps to relieve your frustration by arranging a special surprise for you; never let it be said that good deeds go unrewarded. You may not have any control over today's proceedings, but by going with the flow, you can make more of a success than by fighting fate.

Spend time at home to fill your world with comfort and joy. Socially you may have to make an appearance at a party or Yuletide gathering, just to prove that you're still alive and kicking. Changing your daily routine can have positive results so add that to your list of resolutions. Although you do like to follow set patterns, it's important to shake things up once in a while if only to keep that impressive intellect of yours razor sharp.

Doubt creeps in today when you meet someone who challenges what you believe in. If you've been given evidence that runs contrary to your perceptions, hang tight and wait a few days before rendering judgment. Although you don't want to jump to conclusions, you don't want to bury your head in the sand, either. The chance to show off your creative brilliance could arrive unexpectedly: it's time to promote yourself!

Sharing what you own may be the only way to prove your loyalty to a loved one. Although you pride yourself on stretching your resources to the furthest limit, it may be better to do something frivolous with your earnings, just to please the person in question. Your spree could result in some wonderful changes around and about you. It just goes to show that everybody benefits from a little pampering so obey your generous instincts.

Relationship matters weigh heavily on your heart making it hard to think. Sometimes you feel as though you have to bury parts of your character to accommodate your other half's needs. Maybe some counselling can help you straighten out these issues. If you're not with a partner, it may be because you have convinced yourself that you have to put on a big act to impress others. This simply isn't true, just be you to wow people you meet - fat or thin, it's your personality that matters.

You want to take up something that adds to your qualifications but a sacrifice must be in exchange. Your daily routines will have to alter too but fortunately you're excellent at forming good habits. At first, you'll have to force yourself into action, but before too long, your activities will seem as natural as breathing. A wee windfall will give you even more incentive to get to work on what you want to do. Opportunities like these are few and far between. Do what is right for you.

What does it matter what other people think of you - chill out and just be you. You're such an original person that you can hardly expect to fit in with the crowd. Stop trying to please everybody else and follow your instincts. Once you do it will come as a huge relief. You may be surprised to find how many of your friends support your eccentric, controversial behaviour. They're more appreciative of your wacky ways than you think.

It's easier to make progress in your public life by neglecting your home world. However, you can't afford to neglect private matters any longer. Square your shoulders and face your problems. Part of the hassle is that relatives and loved ones miss you. Once you realise how much you're wanted and needed, outside distractions will seem less important. A flash of insight will help you deal with irritable authority figures as you start getting your life back on track.
