Cultivating favourable relationships with the people around you is a wise idea. Knowing you can rely on colleagues and neighbours in an emergency can relieve lots of stress. Go out of your way to introduce yourself to any unfamiliar faces. If you're single, you may feel some electric sparks between you and a newcomer. Feel free to follow up on this impulse; it could lead to a creative partnership, if not a blossoming romance.

Putting your ideas to work is the fastest way to attain the luxuries you desire. Waiting around for others to do your bidding will only create resentment. Once people see you're willing to work for the expensive items you enjoy, they'll be much more eager to lend their assistance. Pay special attention to any vivid dreams you have tonight; they could spark a lucrative business idea.

You could receive a lovely gift from an admirer, which comes as a pleasant surprise. Never fear; there are no strings attached to this offering. It's just a gesture of love and appreciation. Waste no time in penning a thank you note. Your writing skills are especially sharp today. While you're at it, you may want to send a birthday card or letter to a faraway friend. It's important to maintain contact with loved ones.

Your nurturing instincts are in full evidence when you take a back seat to a loved one's needs. Babying this person makes you feel useful and valued. You totally understand the desire to be pampered and fussed over. Go ahead and fix some comfort food or rent their favourite movie. Screening phone calls will help you keep stress at bay. There's simply no reason to do business when there's healing to be done.

Reaching your goals should be easier than usual, thanks to your heightened charm and sex appeal. You may notice lots of people casting admiring glances in your direction. Why not take advantage of your allure and ask an elusive love interest out on a date? If you're involved with someone special, get your partner to take you out for a night on the town. A pleasant evening of distractions will put petty problems into perspective.

Instead of making demands on people, you prefer to be of assistance. This makes you a valuable member of any team. In fact, authority figures may go out of their way to reward you for your cooperative behaviour. Take this opportunity to ask for any favours that would make your life easier. There's no harm in asking for special treatment, especially when you offer something to the team which is unique.

You have a gift for making people feel important, and that's no small feat. Too often, others feel like they're simply operating as cogs within a giant machine. By taking the time to recognise jobs well done and small improvements, you'll win a wide spectrum of loyal supporters. This will come in handy when you're feeling unappreciated. Remember, everything you put out into the world comes back to you tenfold.

This is one of those rare days when you're willing to make concessions in order to get ahead. In fact, it probably gives you pleasure to agree to an authority figure's demands. Contrary to popular opinion, you haven't gone soft or crazy; you've just realised how much can be gained by adding a spoonful of sugar to your repertoire. When the rewards for your sacrifice start pouring in, you'll only grow more agreeable.

Your wisdom and experience is in great demand, which is gratifying. Don't be surprised if someone asks you to teach a class or speak in a public setting. You have a way of communicating ideas that makes people excited to learn. This could be the beginning of a new career if you play your cards right. There's nothing wrong with getting paid to do what you love. Take full advantage of these golden opportunities.

Just when you were about to despair, somebody shows their appreciation for your help. If you feel as though such an occurrence is all too rare, it's time to do something about it. Perhaps you should start charging for your services. People rarely value something until they're forced to pay for it. If that sounds mercenary, so be it. The bottom line is you need to protect your ego from public indifference.

It's hard for you to stay angry with anybody for long, especially a playful lover. Let a friend make amends by taking you out for a night on the town. Deep down inside, you admire this person's irreverent behaviour. Maybe it's time you started to take your own responsibilities less seriously. Living joyfully should be your first priority. Unfulfilling relationships or arrangements should be eliminated altogether. Life's too short to play the martyr.

You're intent on enjoying every possible comfort, even if it means spending extra cash. Some folks may shake their heads at your extravagance, but pay no attention. Honouring your material impulses is a sign of self-love. Too often, you put yourself at a disadvantage in order to accommodate loved ones. It's time you pampered yourself. Getting a massage can help ease persistent aches and pains that have been dogging you.
