You feel positively tongue-tied before a sexy love interest who has taken your fancy. This may not be the best time to make your move. Instead, observe the object of your affection's habits and body language. Understanding their likes and dislikes will give you an edge over any romantic rivals. If your pent-up emotions are threatening to boil over, head for the gym. A sleek physique will only improve your prospects for love.

The urge to splurge could be overwhelming, especially since friends seem to be basking in luxury. Before you reach your credit card limit consider how you can get these desired items for free. If your birthday is coming up, you can drop some broad hints. If it's already passed, you may want to look into the retail industry to get discounted merchandise. You have the makings of a fabulous fashion buyer!

Although your sex appeal is undeniably strong, it may create problems at the office. Authority figures may not approve of your flirtatious ways, and could call you to task for them. Instead of getting defensive, assume a humble attitude. This will appease your superiors. In the event there is a romance brewing at work, keep it a secret. Mixing business with pleasure may be exciting, but it's also dangerous!

Your plans for success could be undermined by unrealistic daydreams. If you want to get ahead, you must develop your leadership skills. Don't let your emotions run away with you in public settings, and be sure to go on the offensive if somebody attacks your good ideas. The power and prestige you've always wanted could be yours, provided you get your head out of the clouds and plant your feet firmly on the ground.

A playful friendship could turn into a full-blown romance, but proceed with caution. After a few fun encounters, you may decide you are better off as pals. Don't do the crime if you can't pay the consequences! Suppressed anger comes to the surface when dealing with a legal matter or religious issue. Stop pretending you aren't offended by the people and activities involved. It's time to stand up for your principles.

A seemingly innocent remark could be taken the wrong way by a colleague. Be careful about flirting with literal-minded people, or you could land in hot water! If a friend is making you uncomfortable with their suggestive remarks, set the record straight. Otherwise, you could be setting a dangerous precedent. This is one of those days when you should say what you mean and mean what you say. Don't leave anything open to interpretation!

Money is a sensitive issue with the one you love; some financial intimacy is needed. Although you dislike having to justify what you spend, it's important if your relationship is going to flourish. Cash is often a metaphor for power; struggles over this subject have its origins in the bedroom. By working to satisfy each other in this arena, arguments about cash will vanish into thin air. Zero in on your lover's erogenous zones!

An expensive gift may have more strings attached than you realise. Don't accept any such tributes until you understand what is expected in return. You're too self-sufficient to get swept into such a manipulative bond. In the meantime, you may want to underplay your intelligence with a colleague. This person just can't compete with your skills, and may turn against you if they think they're being upstaged.

Settling down into a serious relationship makes you anxious and fearful. You're simply not ready to limit your freedom for the sake of romance. If your partner doesn't give you more independence, you may want to cut the cord. Resist the urge to drown your sorrows with a spunky friend who has been making eyes at you. Otherwise, you may feel as though you've jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire!

Be scrupulously professional when dealing with storekeepers and service workers. You wouldn't want to be accused of being inappropriately amorous. By giving others the respect they deserve, they'll return the favour. It's hard not to get frustrated with a business or romantic partner who keeps harping on an emotional sore point. You may want to have some heated words with this person in a private setting; a public outburst will only undermine your reputation.

You can't buy a person's love, no matter how tempting the prospect may be. If a romantic interest eludes you, the best course of action may be to occupy yourself with other projects. Acting disinterested and aloof is a great way to attract someone's attention. Beware of operating heavy machinery when you're angry, or an unfortunate accident could occur. Don't engage in any heated debates with passing motorists; this is a recipe for trouble today.

Overindulging in rich foods ultimately catches up with your appearance. If you want to attract love and make a good impression, you need to cut back on sugar and fat. Getting brisk exercise each day will also improve your romantic and professional prospects. You may be tempted to buy a child or lover an expensive gift to make up for some past transgression. A better peace offering would be to improve your behaviour.
