The best way to lift your spirits is to get some intellectual stimulation. There is more to life than work and responsibility. Spending time on a favourite hobby will renew your zest for life. If you're reluctant to enter the fast lane, think about enrolling in a stimulating course. Having to go to a class, club or group on a regular basis will give a convenient excuse for abandoning mundane chores. Someone else can pick up the slack while you're studying a subject that fills you with excitement.

You enjoy a strong bond with your best friend, romantic partner or even a business contact. If something has been troubling you, confide in your ally. They'll give you the emotional and practical support necessary to move forward. The prospect of change always makes you nervous. You'd rather maintain a comfortable routine. That's no longer possible, so you might as well take control of the situation. Explore a promising path that appeals to your creative side.

Your imagination is working overtime. Instead of merely building castles in the air, find a practical outlet for these dreams. Whether you want to launch a business, write a book or compose some music is immaterial. The important thing is to take steps towards turning your vision into reality. Join forces with someone who has extensive experience in your desired field. With their financial support, you can achieve tremendous success. Listen carefully to their advice; it will save time, money and trouble.

Listening to music from your childhood will evoke powerful memories. You may be inspired to host a family reunion or do some research into your ancestry. You've always felt a deep connection to the past. If you had a troubled upbringing, don't despair. You can forge a happy, healthy life now you have a greater measure of control. Think about things you wanted as a youngster and set your sights on getting them. It's never too late to spoil yourself.

You have a romantic rival. Instead of getting angry at your partner, focus on securing their affections. You have a tendency to be self involved. This can cause the object of your affection to feel neglected. Fix the problem through genuine gestures of affection. People have different ways of experiencing love. Some need to hear loving words. Others want gifts. Most want to spend quality time together. Certain individuals crave physical touch, while others like to be shown physical affection.

Make sure to attend a big party. It will be lots of fun. If you're single, you will attract lots of romantic interest. Although you'll be flattered by an extremely attractive admirer's attention, you'll feel a stronger affinity for a quiet intellectual. You share many of the same interests. Talking about your favourite musicians, books and restaurants will pave the way for a passionate encounter. Get ready for a grand adventure. This relationship will make you feel out of control, which is a good thing.

Working with a team will be very productive. It's nice to know your colleagues will watch your back. With their help, you can turn a good idea into a great one. Be willing to learn from a free spirit. Although you disapprove of their rude behaviour, you do admire their talent. As a result, you can greatly benefit from their instruction. Prepare to put your assumptions on hold while you learn new ways of doing things. A seemingly chaotic technique will yield impressive results.

An exciting moneymaking opportunity is coming. Be ready to accept it, even if the timetable is incredibly short. It's not easy for you to suddenly change direction, but there is no other choice. Accept this job and don't look back. Some people will be bewildered at the speed with which you are moving. They don't realise what is at stake. While your current situation feels comfortable, it isn't enough to satisfy your need to succeed. Keep reaching for the stars; you just might grab one.

All eyes are on you. People are impressed with your talent and want you on their team. You'll get both job and romantic offers. It feels great to be popular, but it's also overwhelming. When it comes to making choices, trust your instincts. An offer that looks great on paper may not appeal to your adventurous side. Take the path that resonates with your heart; you won't be disappointed. Embarking on a love affair with an old friend is a strong possibility. You're well suited to each other.

Keep your ambition hidden. You don't want to alert rivals to your career plans. If an exciting job opportunity becomes available, apply for it in secret. You may have to sneak out on your lunch hour for an interview. Have noncommittal answers prepared for people who want to know where you've been. Refusing to tilt your hand will give you more time to negotiate a perfect deal. It will take time to arrive at a satisfying salary and benefits package, so be patient.

When someone asks for your opinion, don't hold back. Be direct. At first, your complaints will sound harsh and unreasonable. Prepare to get a discouraging response. In time people will realise your suggestions have real merit. You will be asked to serve as a consultant for upcoming changes. At that point, you should be more diplomatic. Your advice will be well received if you deliver it in an encouraging, compassionate way. Make it clear that you want the best for everyone involved.

Handling work duties in a responsible manner will improve your career prospects. Your boss may be short staffed and will ask you to come in to help. Agree to go in, even if it's your day off. Coming to the rescue of your boss will give you added leverage. If they can't give you a pay rise, they should agree to give you more annual leave or some other professional perk. In addition, you'll be in a good position to get a promotion when a high level job becomes available.
